Short description
There are a number of important topics in spatial analysis, and this book embraces areas such as geostatics, chaos, and complexity, along with a vast review of the techniques used in the analysis of spatial data for remote sensing and GIS. There is much research on spatial analysis for remote sensing and GIS being undertaken in the United Kingdom, and the demand for a state-of-the-art review on this topic has prompted the undertaking of these substantial issues.
