The juxtaposed technologies of photogrammetry, image analysis, and remote sensing have become so dynamically intertwined and progressive that an easy-to-use, up-to-date resource is sorely needed. High-speed computers, scanners, and remote sensors constantly change the way mapping is done. The second..
With the advance of science and technology, there have been breakthroughs in the field of classical research and methods of map projection. Among these, computer science and space science have had the greater influence upon the field of research and the formation of a working body of map projection,..
Illustrates how maps tell us as much about the people and the powers which create them, as about the places they show. Presents historical and contemporary evidence of how the human urge to describe, understand and control the world is presented through the medium of mapping, together with the indiv..
The use of computers in cartography has made it easier for map makers to transform data from one map projection to another and experiment with alternative representations of geographical data. This has created new challenges and opportunities for map projection scientists. Small Scale Map Projection..
This revised and expanded second edition continues to address the fundamental principles of visual perception and map symbolism, and critically examines the assumptions which lay behind the theories of psychophysical testing and cartographic communication...
