Telegeoprocessing: A Primer

This book brings together most key issues on the research in novel systems in telegeoprocessing. It involves the integration of remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), telecommunication and computing. This book presents a practical and comprehensive introduction to the problems encountered in telegeoprocessing engineering and the major technologies and standards related to designing an integrated and fully functional telegeoprocessing system based on the latest multimedia and telecommunication technologies. Overall, attention will be given to systems based on remote sensing and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and all other technologies for sending data from sensors to GIS systems by means of multimedia communications.
