Opis

This book addresses one of the fundamental theoretical issues in GIS: uncertainties in spatial data and analysis. Along with presenting research findings, the text provides methods to control uncertainties in GIS applications. The author discusses his own unique research in modeling positional uncertainty based on probability theory and statisti
