Book Description
Advances in automated data collection are creating massive databases and a whole new field, Knowledge Discovery Databases (KDD), has emerged to develop new methods of managing and exploiting them. Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery is the interrogation of large databases using efficient computational methods. The unique challenges brought about by the storing of massive geographical databases - from high resolution satellite-based systems to data from intelligent transportation systems, for example - has led to the field of Geographical Knowledge Discovery (GKD). Geographic or spatial data mining is the exploration of these geographical information databases. Developed out of contributions to the highly-respected Varenius Project in 1999, this collection will be the definitive volume focusing on GKD and addresses the special challenges to be found in knowledge discovery and data mining from geographic databases.
Book Info
Definitive volume on geographical knowledge discovery and data mining from geographical databases. The contributors span geographic information science, geography and computer science, providing the proper interdisciplinary scope for this emerging field.
Reader Reviews
I think it's the lone book which speaks in a such level of details of data mining applied to geographic problems in a sort of overview of all of them. The most interesting chapters are for me in the part 3 of the book more focus of classical data mining algorithms but in integrating a geographic (x/y) component. Even if the book lakes a little bit of concistency because it's a sum of articles of different autors this book should be in your own library if you do data mining, geomarketng or both.
