文档介绍：Geoinformation
Surveying and mapping have recently undergone a transition from disci-
pline-oriented technologies, such as geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry
and cartography, into the methodology-oriented integrated discipline of
geoinformatics. This is based on GPS positioning, remote sensing, digital
photography for data acquisition and GIS for data manipulation and data
output. Gottfried y attempts to present the required basic back-
ground for remote sensing, digital photogrammetry and GIS in the new
geoinformatics concept in which the different methodologies must be
combined.
For remote sensing, the basic fundamentals are the properties of electro-
ic radiation and their interaction with matter. This radiation is
received by sensors and platforms in analogue or digital form, and is
subject to image processing. In photogrammetry, the stereo-concept is used
for the location of information in 3D. With the advent of high-resolution
satellite systems in stereo the theory of analytical photogrammetry restitut-
ing 2D image information into 3D is of increasing importance, merging the
remote sensing approach with that of photogrammetry. The result of the
restitution is a direct input into geographic information systems in vector
or in raster form. The fundamentals of these are described in detail, with
an emphasis on global, regional and local applications. In the context of
data integration, a short introduction to the GPS satellite positioning
system is provided.
This textbook will appeal to a wide range of readers from advanced
undergraduates to all professionals in the growing field of geoinformation.
Gottfried y is Professor at the University of Hannover in Germany
and former President of the International Society of Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing.
