The management of data to understand complex and interwoven processes of sustainable development has been a great challenge for researchers, planners, and decision makers. Remote sensing and GIS-based policy decision support systems not only help them to solve spatially related environmental and socio-economic issues; they also provide a powerful tool for integrating spatial and non-spatial datasets with analytical and spatial models and knowledge domains. Recent advances in the modern spatial tools of remote sensing and GIS combined with advanced computation techniques have enhanced the efficiency and capabilities of policy development. This book expands the scientific knowledge base in various physical and socio-economic issues among scholars, planners, and decision makers for policy development and research regarding sustainable development. It also demonstrates the importance of modern spatial decision support tools of remote sensing and GIS to better understand sustainable development processes and policy development. Furthermore, the book discusses case studies providing new insights as to how remote sensing and GIS-based decision support systems contribute to understanding physical and socio-economic processes and developing pragmatic policy for sustainable development. This book covers land surface temperature, hydrological processes, terrain mapping, flood and landslide hazards, land use and land cover dynamics, crime hotspots, urban health issues, tourism, agriculture, forest management, flood mitigation, urban sprawl, and village information systems, among others. Readers will find this book to be an invaluable resource for understanding and solving diverse physical and human issues for policy development related to sustainable planning and management.

Remote Sensing Technology In India Started In The 1960S. Space Technology Was Developed During The 1970S And 1980S To Use Satellites And Sensors In The Areas Of Communication To Exploit Meteorological And Ground Resources. Like Some Other Developing Countries, India Could Bypass The Intermediate Technology Stage And Leapfrog Into The High Technology Area.India S First Satellite In Irs Series Was Irs-1A, Launched In March 1988 By A Russian Vostok Launch Vehicle. Our Space Technology Has Attained Momentum And Made Tremendous Achievements By Launching The Oceansat-1 For Ocean Resources Monitoring; Resourcesat-1 For Agricultural Applications; And Cartosat-1 With A High Resolution Panchromatic Camera For Cartographic Applications. In India, The Remote Sensing Technology Along With Geographic Information System (Gis) Is Widely Being Used For More Than Two Decades For Inventorying, Mapping And Monitoring Of Earth Resources, And For Mitigation And Management Of Natural Disasters. In Days To Come It Will Become The Most Powerful Tool For Management And Distribution Of Information For Various Purposes.This Book Is Solely Written To Meet The Requirements Of Undergraduate Courses In B.E. (Civil Engineering), B.Tech (Geoinformatics), The Postgraduate Courses And M.Tech In Remote Sensing, Postgraduate Diploma In Remote Sensing And Gis, And M.E (Geoinformatics) Of Various Universities And Institutions. Topics Are Covered With Adequate Tables And Illustrations Essential To An Introductory Text. The Book Offers Key Concepts With The Use Of Simple And Limited Mathematics. Digital Image Processing, Which Forms The Backbone Of The Book, Is Dealt With Special Care. The Book Explains Fundamental Basis Of Gis Technology, Spatial Data Modeling, Attributes Data Management, Gis Data Analysis And Modeling. It Will Also Serve As An Ideal Reference Book For Researchers In This Field And Practical Users Of This Technology.

In an age of unprecedented proliferation of data from disparate sources the urgency is to create efficient methodologies that can optimise data combinations and at the same time solve increasingly complex application problems. Integration of GIS and Remote Sensing explores the tremendous potential that lies along the interface between GIS and remote sensing for activating interoperable databases and instigating information interchange. It concentrates on the rigorous and meticulous aspects of analytical data matching and thematic compatibility - the true roots of all branches of GIS/remote sensing applications. However closer harmonization is tempered by numerous technical and institutional issues, including scale incompatibility, measurement disparities, and the inescapable notion that data from GIS and remote sensing essentially represent diametrically opposing conceptual views of reality. The first part of the book defines and characterises GIS and remote sensing and presents the reader with an awareness of the many scale, taxonomical and analytical problems when attempting integration. The second part of the book moves on to demonstrate the benefits and costs of integration across a number of human and environmental applications. This book is an invaluable reference for students and professionals dealing not only with GIS and remote sensing, but also computer science, civil engineering, environmental science and urban planning within the academic, governmental and commercial/business sectors.

Earth observation systems, by use of space science and technology advances, present a large-scale opportunity for applying remote sensing methods with geographical information system (GIS) developments. Integrating these two methods makes it possible to achieve high-accuracy satellite data processing. This book considers aspects of GIS technology applications with space science technology and innovation approaches. It examines the potential of Earth observation satellite systems as well as existing challenges and problems in the field. Chapters cover topics such as RGB-D sensors for autonomous pothole detection, machine learning in GIS, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) modeling, and others.

The objective of this document is to illustrate the ways in which Geographical Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing and mapping can play a role in the development and management of marine aquaculture. The perspective is global. The approach is to employ example applications that have been aimed at resolving many of the important issues in marine aquaculture. The underlying purpose is to stimulate the interest of individuals in the government, industry and educational sectors of marine aquaculture to make more effective use of these tools. A brief introduction to spatial tools and their use in the marine fisheries sector precedes the example applications. The most recent applications have been selected to be indicative of the state of the art, allowing readers to make their own assessments of the benefits and limitations of use of these tools in their own disciplines. Also published in Chinese and Spanish.
