Fatimazahra Barramou - Geospatial Intelligence: Applications and Future Trends

Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.

The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies.

The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world.

The series is intended for professionals in research and teaching, consultancies and industry, and government and international organizations. Published in collaboration with IEREK, the Springer ASTI series will acquaint readers with essential new studies in STI for sustainable development.

ASTI series has now been accepted for Scopus (September 2020). All content published in this series will start appearing on the Scopus site in early 2021.

Currently, Geospatial Data are democratized leading to a huge of data available to everyone. Handling of such large volume of data is, however, a complex and laborious problem. Processing large volume of data requires vast computing power and specific expertise. That is why we need to use artificial intelligence that structure data, optimize productivity, and automate repetitive tasks. The main objective of this book entitled Geospatial Intelligence: Applications and Future Trends is to explore cutting-edge methods combining geospatial technologies and artificial intelligence related to several diversified fields such as smart farming, urban planning, transportation, and 3D city models. It introduces techniques which range from machine and deep learning to remote sensing for geospatial data analysis. The work in this book is addressed to the scientific community interested in the coupling between Geospatial Technologies and Artificial Intelligence. It will offer practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government information, experiences, and research results about all aspects of specialized and interdisciplinary fields on Geospatial Intelligence. This book will focus on the recent trends and challenges for employing artificial intelligence for remote sensing and spatial data analytics. To achieve the objectives, the book consists of two main parts that includes 13 chapters contributed by promising authors.
