CAD and GIS Integration (Hardcover)

When used together effectively, computer-aided design (CAD) and geospatial information systems (GIS) have a solid track record for streamlining decision making and reducing inefficiencies in the design, planning, and execution of critical operations and projects. And a growing number of engineering tasks in numerous fields—including design, architecture, construction, and asset management—now require the knowledge of many interrelated yet disconnected CAD/GIS tools and task-specific software.

A multidisciplinary resource delineating existing and emerging solutions for CAD/GIS integration issues, CAD and GIS Integration provides a clear understanding of the state of the art in this area of growing importance. It brings together in-depth descriptions of existing and emerging techniques, methodologies, and technologies to examine approaches that enable data and operations interoperability between CAD/GIS. Starting with a review of fundamental concepts and theories, the book:

• Addresses contemporary issues and challenges
• Provides a collection of helpful methodologies, techniques, and technologies for integrating CAD and GIS
• Presents balanced coverage of CAD and GIS technologies and applications
• Highlights emerging trends in CAD/GIS integration
• Explores the state-of-the-art in the application of CAD and GIS technologies, data, and operations for decision making

From early developments to current trends and future directions, this concise resource allows you to get up to speed quickly on what it takes to get the most of these two dynamic technologies. Numerous example applications of effective CAD/GIS integration provide the understanding needed to improve designs, make better decisions, and reduce or even eliminate costly errors in your next project.

當電腦輔助設計（CAD）和地理空間資訊系統（GIS）有效地結合使用時，它們在設計、規劃和執行關鍵操作和項目中的決策過程中具有穩固的記錄，能夠提高效率並減少低效。在眾多領域中，包括設計、建築、施工和資產管理，越來越多的工程任務現在需要掌握許多相互關聯但不相連的CAD/GIS工具和任務特定軟體的知識。

《CAD and GIS Integration》是一個多學科資源，詳細描述了現有和新興的CAD/GIS整合解決方案，以清晰地了解這個日益重要的領域的最新發展。它匯集了現有和新興技術、方法論和技術的深入描述，以研究促進CAD/GIS之間的數據和操作互通的方法。從基本概念和理論的回顧開始，本書包括以下內容：

- 探討當前的問題和挑戰
- 提供一系列有助於整合CAD和GIS的方法論、技術和技巧
- 平衡地介紹CAD和GIS技術和應用
- 強調CAD/GIS整合的新興趨勢
- 探索在決策過程中應用CAD和GIS技術、數據和操作的最新發展

從早期的發展到當前的趨勢和未來的方向，這本簡明資源讓您快速了解如何充分利用這兩種動態技術。大量有效的CAD/GIS整合應用示例提供了改進設計、做出更好決策以及減少甚至消除下一個項目中昂貴錯誤的理解所需的知識。
