What this book covers

, Learning about Geospatial Analysis with Python , introduces geospatial analysis as a way of answering questions about our world. The differences between GIS and remote sensing are explained. Common geospatial analysis processes are demonstrated using illustrations, basic formulas, pseudo code, and Python.

, Learning Geospatial Data , explains the major categories of data and several newer formats that are becoming more and more common. Geospatial data comes in many forms. The most challenging part of geospatial analysis is acquiring the data that you need and preparing it for analysis. Familiarity with these data types is essential to understanding geospatial analysis.

, The Geospatial Technology Landscape , tells you about the geospatial technology ecosystem, which consists of thousands of software libraries and packages. This vast array of choices is overwhelming for newcomers to geospatial analysis. The secret to learning geospatial analysis quickly is understanding the handful of libraries and packages that really matter. Most other software is derived from these critical packages. Understanding the hierarchy of geospatial software and how it's used allows you to quickly comprehend and evaluate any geospatial tool.

, Learning about Geospatial Analysis with Python , are also demonstrated in this chapter.

, Python and Geographic Information Systems , teaches you about simple yet practical Python GIS geospatial products using processes that can be applied to a variety of problems.

, Python and Remote Sensing , shows you how to work with remote sensing geospatial data. Remote sensing includes some of the most complex and least-documented geospatial operations. This chapter will build a solid core for you and demystify remote sensing using Python.
