Book Description

This book is a Python tutorial for beginners aiming at teaching spatial data processing. It is used as part of the courses taught in Remote Sensing and GIS at Aberystwyth University, UK.

Geographic information systems belong the group of applications that process spatial data. Some spatial analyses are operated repetitively in the same way for different area or district. Therefore it is useful when the data processing can be run automatically by program extension designed especially for batch data processing. We use Python to automatically convert data flow diagram into the program code, using psycopg2, and ogr2ogr, etc.

• Introduction to Python for Geographic Data Analysis

  Introduce the basics of Python programming and geographic data analysis for all “geo-minded” people (geographers, geologists and others using spatial data). Apply Python GIS geospatial processes to a variety of problems, and work with remote sensing data.

• Geospatial Analysis with Python (Ujaval Gandhi)

  Suitable for GIS practitioners with no programming background or python knowledge. The course will introduce basic Python programming concepts, libraries for spatial analysis, geospatial APIs and techniques for building spatial data processing pipelines.

• Geographic Data Science with Python (Sergio Rey, et al.)

  Provides the tools, the methods, and the theory to meet the challenges of contemporary data science applied to geographic problems and data, by using geographical and computational reasoning to unlock new insights hidden within data.

• Geospatial Analysis: Principles, Techniques and Software Tools

  This book provides a compehensive guide to concepts, methods and tools, with many examples being provided using a variety of software tools such as ArcGIS, Idrisi, Grass, Surfer and many others to clarify the concepts discussed

• Spatial Thinking in Planning Practice: An Introduction to GIS

  The goals of this textbook are to help students acquire the technical skills of using software and managing a database, and develop research skills of collecting data, analyzing information and presenting results.

• A Practical Guide to Geostatistical Mapping (Tomislav Hengl)

  This book is a practical guide to geostatistical mapping using R+gstat/geoR, SAGA GIS and Google Earth combo of software packages. Includes seven diverse data analysis exercises.

• Python for Everybody: Exploring Data in Python 3

  This book is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data. You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet.

• O'Reilly® Python Data Science Handbook: Essential Tools

  Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all - IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools.

• Python for Econometrics, Statistics and Data Analysis

  This book provides an introduction to Python for a beginning programmer. They may also be useful for an experienced Python programmer interested in using NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib for numerical and statistical analaysis.

• Nature of Geographic Information Systems (David DiBiase)

  The purpose of this book is to promote understanding of the Geographic Information Science and Technology enterprise (GIS&T, also known as 'geospatial'). It explores the nature of geographic information.

• An Introductory Textbook on Geographic Information Systems

  This textbook is an introduction to GIS, but most of the chapter's concepts are also applicable to other geotechnologies including remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), Internet mapping, and virtual globes.

• Geographic Information System Basics (Jonathan Campbell)

  From the melting of the polar ice caps to privacy issues associated with mapping, this book provides a gentle, yet substantive, introduction to the use and application of digital maps, mapping, and GIS.

• Principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

  This book is designed to provide students in a first or second GIS course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use of GIS. It strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts and hands-on applications.

• GIS Succinctly (Peter Shaw)

  This book guides you through it all, starting with a detailed examination of the data and processes that constitute the internals of a GIS. It surveys a selection of commercial and open-source software packages, detailing the strengths and weaknesses of each.

• Google Earth Engine Applications (Lalit Kumar, et al)

  It show apps using the Google Earth Engine in mining, storing, retrieving and processing spatial data for a variety of applications that include vegetation monitoring, cropland mapping, ecosystem assessment, and gross primary productivity, among others.

• Cartography - A Tool for Spatial Analysis (Carlos Bateira)

  This book presents several contributions at different areas and activities showing the importance of the cartography to the perception and organization of the territory, showing the importance of the cartography to the perception and organization of the territory.

• Application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

  This book blends together the theories of GIS and their practical implementations in different conditions. It deals with GIS's application in the broad spectrum of geospatial analysis and modeling, water resources analysis, land use analysis, and such.

• Google Maps API Succinctly (Mark Lewin)

  It gives you a hands-on, beginner-level introduction to developing mapping applications using the Google Maps JavaScript API. Learn the ins and outs of the API so that you can harness the power of Google Maps within your own websites and applications.

• Applications of Spatial Statistics (Ming-Chih Hung)

  Spatial statistics has been widely used in many environmental studies. This book is for people who are interested in applying statistics to spatial data, as well as for who know statistics and want to explore how it can be applied to spatial data.

• Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R (Roger S. Bivand, et al)

  It presents R packages, functions, classes and methods for handling spatial data, and showcases more specialised kinds of spatial data analysis, including spatial point pattern analysis, interpolation and geostatistics, areal data analysis and disease mapping.
