ABSTRACT
This comprehensive handbook covers Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), which is the integration of geospatial studies and AI machine (deep) learning and knowledge graph technologies. It explains key fundamental concepts, methods, models, and technologies of GeoAI, and discusses the recent advances, research tools, and applications that range from environmental observation and social sensing to natural disaster responses. As the first single volume on this fast-emerging domain, Handbook of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence is an excellent resource for educators, students, researchers, and practitioners utilizing GeoAI in fields such as information science, environment and natural resources, geosciences, and geography.
Features
- Provides systematic introductions and discussions of GeoAI theory, methods, technologies, applications, and future perspectives
- Covers a wide range of GeoAI applications and case studies in practice
- Offers supplementary materials such as data, programming code, tools, and case studies
- Discusses the recent developments of GeoAI methods and tools
- Includes contributions written by top experts in cutting-edge GeoAI topics
This book is intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines and those taking GIS courses in geography or computer sciences as well as software engineers, geospatial industry engineers, GIS professionals in non-governmental organizations, and federal/state agencies who use GIS and want to learn more about GeoAI advances and applications.
