Capable of acquiring large volumes of data through sensors deployed
in air, land, and sea, and making this information readily
available in a continuous time frame, the science of geographical
information system (GIS) is rapidly evolving. This popular
information system is emerging as a platform for scientific
visualization, simulation, and computation of spatio-temporal data.
New computing techniques are being researched and implemented to
match the increasing capability of modern-day computing platforms
and easy availability of spatio-temporal data. This has led to the
need for the design, analysis, development, and optimization of new
algorithms for extracting spatio-temporal patterns from a large
volume of spatial data. Computing in Geographic Information Systems
considers the computational aspects, and helps students understand
the mathematical principles of GIS. It provides a deeper
understanding of the algorithms and mathematical methods inherent
in the process of designing and developing GIS functions. It
examines the associated scientific computations along with the
applications of computational geometry, differential geometry, and
affine geometry in processing spatial data. It also covers the
mathematical aspects of geodesy, cartography, map projection,
spatial interpolation, spatial statistics, and coordinate
transformation. The book discusses the principles of bathymetry and
generation of electronic navigation charts.The book consists of 12
chapters. Chapters one through four delve into the modeling and
preprocessing of spatial data and prepares the spatial data as
input to the GIS system. Chapters five through eight describe the
various techniques of computing the spatial data using different
geometric and statically techniques. Chapters nine through eleven
define the technique for image registration computation and
measurements of spatial objects and phenomenon. Examines
cartographic modeling and map
