Remote Sensing and GIS Integration

<p><strong>Maximize a geographical information tool by incorporating it with up-to-date remotely sensed data</strong></p><p>GIS is predominantly a data-handling technology while remote sensing is a data retrieval and analysis technology. This book addresses the need to combine remotely sensed data with cartographic socioeconomic and environmental data and GIS functionalities.</p><p><em>Remote Sensing and GIS Integration</em> begins with theoretical discussions followed by a series of application areas in urban and environmental studies that employ the integration of remote sensing and GIS. Each application area is examined through analysis of state-of-the-art methods and detailed presentations of one or more case studies.</p>
