Résumé

Explores how to integrate remote sensing, GIS, and modelling technologies into information systems and apply these systems in the management of resources
Enables you to choose a spatial analysis software system that best supports your needs
Covers visual interpretation and map reading, the analysis and interpretation of vegetation, and image processing
Investigates the collection of field data, and its use in visual interpretation and the classification of digital image data
Discusses geographic information systems (GIS) topics including Raster and Vector data analysis, data management, modelling, and uncertainty
Details how to use spatial technologies as decision support tools
Contains a CD-ROM that includes data, notes on applications, and Web addresses for data analysis software

Resource Management Information Systems: Remote Sensing, GIS and Modelling, Second Edition provides you with the knowledge and skill necessary to design, build, implement, and operate spatial resource management information systems for the management of physical resources. This volume promotes the use of these technologies in a spatial context, enabling you to apply information systems toward the management of resources in agriculture, forestry, land use planning, valuation, engineering, and many additional fields.

A follow-up to the first edition, Resource Management Information Systems: Process and Practice, this book offers extensive revisions, reflecting the rapidly evolving nature of the technologies needed to manage spatial resources.
