Uncertainty in geographical information

As Geographic Information Systems (GIS) develop, there is a need to demystify the complex geographical world to facilitate computerization in GIS by the inaccuracies that emerge from man-machine interactions in data acquisition and by error propagation in geoprocessing.

Users need to be aware of the impacts of uncertainties in spatial analysis and decision-making.

Uncertainty in Geographical Information discusses theoretical and practical aspects of spatial data processing and uncertainties, and covers a wide range of types of errors and fuzziness and emphasizes description and modeling.

High level GIS professionals, researchers and graduate students will find this a constructive book.
