Esri has announced the publication of Imagery and GIS: Best Practices for Extracting Information from Imagery. The book teaches the fundamentals of collecting imagery via remote sensing systems and then using the imagery within a geographic information system (GIS). Imagery is at the heart of GIS technology, providing most of the data in maps. The data comes in the form of aerial photos, thermal and satellite images, digital elevation models, and scanned maps. Imagery and GIS: Best Practices for Extracting Information from Imagery shows how imagery can be integrated into a GIS for mapping and analysis. Readers will learn how to select the correct imagery for their GIS projects, conduct image analysis, efficiently manage and serve imagery datasets, and accurately extract information from imagery. Helpful resources in the book include case studies, along with a section on acronyms and a glossary of imagery, remote sensing, and GIS terms. www.esri.com
