1: What Is Spatial Computing? 2: Where Am I? Positioning, Outdoors and Indoors 3: What's There? Remote Sensing 4: Geographic Information Systems and Cartography 5: Spatial Databases 6: Spatial Data Science 7: The Future of Spatial Computing
This book explains the technologies and ideas behind spatial computing. It offers accessible descriptions of GPS and location-based services, including the use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID for position determination out of satellite range; remote sensing, which uses satellite and aerial platforms to monitor such varied phenomena as global food production, the effects of climate change, and subsurface natural resources on other planets; geographic information systems (GIS), which store, analyze, and visualize spatial data; spatial databases, which store multiple forms of spatial data; and spatial statistics and spatial data science, used to analyze location-related data.
