Uncertainty in Geographical Information (Hardcover)

As Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have developed and their applications have been extended, the issue of uncertainty has become increasingly recognised. It is highlighted by the need to demystify the inherently complex geographical world to facilitate computerisation in GIS, by the inaccuracies that emerge from man-machine interactions in data acquisition, and by error propogation in geoprocessing. Users need to be well aware of the likely impacts of uncertainties in spatial analysis and decision-making.
High level GIS professionals, researchers and graduate students will find this a constructive book. It discusses theoretical and practical aspects of spatial data processing and uncertainties, and covers a wide range of types of errors and fuzziness and emphasizes description and modelling.
