Learning Geospatial Analysis with Python

The book starts by giving you the background of geospatial analysis, and then offers a flow of the techniques and technology used and splits the field into its component specialty areas, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, elevation data, advanced modeling, and real-time data. The focus of the book is to lay a strong foundation in using the powerful Python language and framework to approach geospatial analysis effectively. In doing so, we'll focus on using pure Python as well as certain Python tools and APIs, and using generic algorithms. The readers will be able to analyze various forms of geospatial data, learn about real-time data tracking, and see how to apply what they learn to interesting scenarios.
