Principles of Geographical Information Systems by Professor Peter A. Burrough provides a comprehensive textbook on geographical information systems. The book is intended for students and professionals who want to gain insight into the theory and practice of spatial data and information systems.
Contents
This reference work discusses the digital recording and analysis of geographic information. It covers the two main paradigms of spatial data: precisely delineated entities and continuous variations in characteristics such as temperature. It also addresses data quality, statistical errors, and methods such as fuzzy logic to connect different spatial approaches. This shows how geographic information systems contribute to understanding and solving practical problems.
