商品描述

Description:

A constellation of twenty-four satellites, 11,000 miles up, circling the globe every twelve hours . . . monitoring stations on remote atolls . . . and radio receivers, some small enough to be held in the palm of your hand: that's the Global Positioning System, an explosively growing technology that's changing the way we know where we are, where we're going, and where we've been. Coupled with a GIS (geographic information system), with its virtually limitless layers of data and graphics and histories, it's nothing short of revolutionary.

GPS technology is helping researchers keep elephants from the brink of extinction, mapping mazes of oil and gas pipeline, locating the sources of a highly infectious disease, and keeping armchair sailors on the edge of their seats as they chart the progress of a race across the Atlantic. The ways GPS is being used range along an astonishingly broad spectrum of activities, personal and public, commercial and educational, business and pleasure.

Integrating GIS and the Global Positioning System is a comprehensive introduction to the powerful synergy between GIS and GPS technologies. The book covers the basics of GPS--what the components are, how they work in theory and in practice, how accuracy can be improved almost to pinpoint level--and presents several case studies that illustrate some of the ways the power of GPS is being harnessed to GIS, ensuring, among other benefits, increased accuracy in measurement and completeness of coverage.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
一個由24顆位於11,000英里高處的衛星組成的星座,每12小時環繞地球一圈...遠在偏遠環礁上的監測站...以及一些小到可以放在手掌中的無線電接收器:這就是全球定位系統(GPS),一種爆炸性增長的技術,正在改變我們對自己所在位置、前往何處以及曾經去過哪裡的認知方式。結合地理信息系統(GIS),以其幾乎無限的數據、圖形和歷史層,這種技術無疑是革命性的。

GPS技術正在幫助研究人員保護大象免於滅絕,繪製迷宮般的石油和天然氣管道,找到高度傳染性疾病的來源,並讓沙發航海者緊張不安地追蹤大西洋賽船的進展。GPS的應用範圍涵蓋了個人和公共、商業和教育、業務和娛樂等驚人廣泛的活動。

《整合GIS和全球定位系統》是一本全面介紹GIS和GPS技術之間強大協同作用的書籍。該書介紹了GPS的基礎知識,包括組件是什麼,理論和實踐中的工作原理,以及如何提高精度幾乎達到點位級別。書中還提供了幾個案例研究,展示了GPS的強大功能如何應用於GIS,確保測量的準確性和覆蓋範圍的完整性等好處。
