The QGIS in Remote Sensing Set aims to facilitate the appropriation and operational use of the Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) software in the field of remote sensing.
Over the past 15 years, Geographic Information Systems have become central to applications dealing with territorial planning issues. This third volume of the set is devoted to the presentation and practice in QGIS and its libraries of various applications related to territorial planning. The chapters illustrate the great diversity of case studies, spatial scales and actors involved in this issue: from the world to the city and from objects of special interest, from detection of objects, to studies of location or the impact of works through spatial indicators, urban, agro-forestry or coastal environments.
This work is carried out by scientists who are proficient to a high level of technicality. The book is targeted at students (Masters, engineering students, PhDs), engineers and researchers who have already adopted geographic information systems. In addition to the text, readers will have access to data and tools allowing the integral realization of the scientific procedures described in each chapter, as well as screenshots of all the windows which illustrate the manipulations necessary for the realization of each application.
