Informationen zum Autor Michael N. DeMers is the author of GIS Modeling in Raster, published by Wiley. Klappentext More than a classroom text this book is a long-term resource for the raster GIS modeling professional. From the basics of Map Algebra and its natural language interface to complex hydrological modeling techniques--from model conceptualization to model implementation--and from flowcharting to verification, this book brings together a wide range of topical information concerning raster GIS modeling in a single volume. Simple graphics help explain the concepts quickly and ample references provide the modeler with concrete examples upon which to draw inspiration and ideas. GIS Modeling in Raster provides an organized environment for the classroom setting, plus an easily accessible reference for the working professional. Zusammenfassung The primary focus of this text is on the process of cartographic modeling and GIS modeling. The text goes beyond cartographic modeling to incorporate supplementary or complementary technologies and logics to show that spatio-temporal modeling is not limited to cartographic modeling! nor to Map Algebra.
