Recent Developments in Geospatial Information Sciences
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
This book presents a selection of manuscripts submitted to the 3rd International Conference on Geospatial Information Sciences (iGISc) 2023, a hybrid conference held in November 2023. These papers were selected by the Scientific Program Committee of the Conference after a rigorous peer-reviewed process. They represent a sample of the wide range of applications that characterize the interdisciplinary research areas of the Geospatial Information Sciences. It especially represents a fabulous opportunity to exhibit research carried out by young researchers and showcase it to the rest of the world and enhance the growth of the sciences while, at the same time, enforces them to level up with other research at the international level.

Persons
Hugo Carlos Martínez currently works as a researcher at the Center for Research in Geospatial Information Sciences, A.C (CentroGeo), forming part of the remote sensing and geo-intelligence research groups.
His research activities have been oriented to subject areas related to numerical modeling and deep learning applications with geospatial data. Currently, his research focuses on the following topics: the prediction of homicides in Mexico, language modeling for creating risk maps, and using super-resolution algorithms in LiDAR point clouds. He works on basic math research for phase unwrapping problems and co-registration of remote sensing images.
He had the opportunity to previously participate with Springer in editing the book "Advances in Geospatial Data Science: Selected Papers from the International Conference on Geospatial Information Sciences 2021 (Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography)." The idea is to publish those works that reflect advances in geographic data science while giving greater visibility to the IGISC.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
