商品描述
Now in its fourth edition, The Global Positioning System and GIS arrives at a critical moment of transition-- a time when new methods for collecting position and attribute data are reshaping how information is integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
This edition is uniquely structured to reflect this shift: each chapter is divided into two sections-- one covering "Newer Technology," including the latest advances in hardware, software, and cloud- based data collection, and the other preserving and refining "Older Technology" techniques from the third edition.
As GIS platforms represent the Earth with increasing precision and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) deliver accuracy down to the centimeter, this book equips readers with proven, practical methods for building highly accurate and actionable geospatial datasets across a wide variety of devices and platforms.
Features: - Step- by- step tutorials for hands- on learning, balancing theoretical foundations with practical application.- Covers both ArcGIS Pro (ESRI) and QGIS (open- source), ensuring students and professionals can work across essential GIS platforms.
- Supports a broad range of devices: Android, iOS, and Trimble receivers.
- Provides downloadable datasets for instructors to use in exercises, examples, and exams.
- Features an entirely new chapter by GPS World former Editor- in- Chief Matteo Luccio, along with exclusive interviews with GPS and GIS pioneers Brad Parkinson, Charlie Trimble, and Jack Dangermond.
Clear, practical, and deeply informed by the evolution of the field, The Global Positioning System and GIS, first published in 1996, remains the definitive resource for anyone working where geospatial accuracy matters-- from students and researchers to GIS professionals across all disciplines.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
現在已進入第四版的《全球定位系統與地理資訊系統（GIS）》正值關鍵的轉型時刻——這是一個新方法收集位置和屬性數據的時期，這些方法正在重塑信息如何整合進入地理資訊系統（GIS）。
本版的結構獨特，以反映這一變化：每章分為兩個部分——一部分涵蓋「新技術」，包括硬體、軟體和基於雲端的數據收集的最新進展，另一部分則保留並精煉第三版中的「舊技術」技術。
隨著GIS平台以越來越高的精度呈現地球，全球導航衛星系統（GNSS）提供的精確度可達到厘米級，本書為讀者提供了經過驗證的、實用的方法，以在各種設備和平台上構建高度準確且可操作的地理空間數據集。
**特色：**
- 提供逐步教程以進行實作學習，平衡理論基礎與實際應用。
- 涵蓋ArcGIS Pro（ESRI）和QGIS（開源），確保學生和專業人士能夠在基本GIS平台上工作。
- 支援廣泛的設備：Android、iOS和Trimble接收器。
- 提供可下載的數據集供教師在練習、範例和考試中使用。
- 包含由《GPS World》前總編輯Matteo Luccio撰寫的全新章節，以及對GPS和GIS先驅Brad Parkinson、Charlie Trimble和Jack Dangermond的獨家訪談。
《全球定位系統與地理資訊系統（GIS）》自1996年首次出版以來，清晰、實用，並深受該領域演變的啟發，仍然是任何在地理空間精確度至關重要的工作中不可或缺的資源——從學生和研究人員到各學科的GIS專業人士。
作者簡介
Michael Kennedy's principal expertise lies in the application of computers to interesting problems and is deeply involved in the growing area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Since the early 1970s he has conducted work on "making a computer believe it's a map." In 1991 he founded the GIS program in the Department of Geography at the University of Kentucky. Professor Kennedy is the author of several textbooks and "Introducing Geographic Information Systems with ArcGIS -- A Workbook Approach to Learning GIS, Third Edition" published by Wiley, is one of them. Over the years Professor Kennedy has had a wide range of experiences relating computers and environmental matters. Primarily to be able to talk to planners about the newly emerging field of GIS he became certified as a planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). He was Director of the Computer-Aided Design Laboratory at the University of Kentucky for several years. He has been invited to teach GIS and/or programming at Simon Fraser University and several state or provincial universities: North Carolina, Florida, and British Columbia.
Alexander Kennedy is a Software Engineer, Data Visualization Engineer, and Data Journalist who specializes in interactive data storytelling for environmental and public health issues. His public-facing work has been published in People Magazine and Undark Magazine. In 2022 his interactive feature Below Dozens of Aging Dams a Potential Toxic Calamity (co-authored with James Dinneen) was awarded the ASJA Donald Robinson Memorial Award for Investigative Journalism, nominated for ASME's National Magazine Award in the Reporting category, and nominated for the NIHCM Foundation's Digital Media Journalism Award. Alexander has led data visualization workshops, including a D3.js workshop at Impact Labs. Alexander is an active advocate for open data policies and civic data art. From 2019 to 2021 he co-curated and co-organized Data Through Design (DxD), an annual exhibition celebrating tangible, multimedia expressions of New York City's Open Data. DxD is produced in partnership with the NYC Mayor's Office of Data Analytics, BetaNYC, NYC Open Data Week, and the US Census. In his spare time, Alexander loves to make music and dance.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
邁克爾·肯尼迪的主要專長在於將計算機應用於有趣的問題，並深度參與地理資訊系統（GIS）這一日益增長的領域。自1970年代初以來，他一直在進行“讓計算機相信它是一張地圖”的工作。1991年，他在肯塔基大學地理系創立了GIS計劃。肯尼迪教授是幾本教科書的作者，其中之一是由Wiley出版的《使用ArcGIS介紹地理資訊系統——學習GIS的工作手冊，第三版》。多年來，肯尼迪教授在計算機與環境問題之間有著廣泛的經驗。為了能夠與規劃者討論新興的GIS領域，他獲得了美國認證規劃師協會（AICP）的規劃師認證。他曾在肯塔基大學擔任計算機輔助設計實驗室的主任數年。他受邀在西門菲莎大學及北卡羅來納州、佛羅里達州和不列顛哥倫比亞省的幾所州立或省立大學教授GIS和/或程式設計。
亞歷山大·肯尼迪是一名軟體工程師、數據可視化工程師和數據記者，專注於環境和公共健康問題的互動數據敘事。他的公共作品曾發表於《人物雜誌》和《Undark雜誌》。在2022年，他與詹姆斯·迪寧（James Dinneen）共同撰寫的互動特寫《數十座老化水壩的潛在毒性災難》獲得了ASJA唐納德·羅賓遜調查新聞獎，並被提名為ASME全國雜誌獎報導類別，還被提名為NIHCM基金會數位媒體新聞獎。亞歷山大曾主導數據可視化工作坊，包括在Impact Labs舉辦的D3.js工作坊。他積極倡導開放數據政策和公民數據藝術。從2019年到2021年，他共同策劃和組織了“透過設計數據”（Data Through Design, DxD），這是一個慶祝紐約市開放數據的年度展覽，展示具體的多媒體表達。DxD是與紐約市市長數據分析辦公室、BetaNYC、紐約市開放數據週和美國人口普查局合作製作的。在空閒時間，亞歷山大喜歡創作音樂和跳舞。
