Book Descriptions:

Over 60 recipes to work with topology, overlays, indoor routing, and web application analysis with Python

About This Book

• Explore the practical process of using geospatial analysis to solve simple to complex problems with reusable recipes
• Concise step-by-step instructions to teach you about projections, vector, raster, overlay, indoor routing and topology analysis
• Create a basic indoor routing application with geodjango

Who This Book Is For

If you are a student, teacher, programmer, geospatial or IT administrator, GIS analyst, researcher, or scientist looking to do spatial analysis, then this book is for you. Anyone trying to answer simple to complex spatial analysis questions will get a working demonstration of the power of Python with real-world data. Some of you may be beginners with GIS, but most of you will probably have a basic understanding of geospatial analysis and programming.

What You Will Learn

• Discover the projection and coordinate system information of your data and learn how to transform that data into different projections
• Import or export your data into different data formats to prepare it for your application or spatial analysis
• Use the power of PostGIS with Python to take advantage of the powerful analysis functions
• Execute spatial analysis functions on vector data including clipping, spatial joins, measuring distances, areas, and combining data to new results
• Create your own set of topology rules to perform and ensure quality assurance rules in Python
• Find the shortest indoor path with network analysis functions in easy, extensible recipes revolving around all kinds of network analysis problems
• Visualize your data on a map using the visualization tools and methods available to create visually stunning results
• Build an indoor routing web application with GeoDjango to include your spatial analysis tools built from the previous recipes

In Detail

Geospatial development links your data to places on the Earth's surface. Its analysis is used in almost every industry to answer location type questions. Combined with the power of the Python programming language, which is becoming the de facto spatial scripting choice for developers and analysts worldwide, this technology will help you to solve real-world spatial problems.

This book begins by tackling the installation of the necessary software dependencies and libraries needed to perform spatial analysis with Python. From there, the next logical step is to prepare our data for analysis; we will do this by building up our tool box to deal with data preparation, transformations, and projections. Now that our data is ready for analysis, we will tackle the most common analysis methods for vector and raster data. To check or validate our results, we will explore how to use topology checks to ensure top-quality results. This is followed with network routing analysis focused on constructing indoor routes within buildings, over different levels.

Finally, we put several recipes together in a GeoDjango web application that demonstrates a working indoor routing spatial analysis application. The round trip will provide you all the pieces you need to accomplish your own spatial analysis application to suit your requirements.

Style and approach

Easy-to-follow, step-by-step recipes, explaining from start to finish how to accomplish real-world tasks.

Python Geospatial Analysis Cookbook by Michael Diener

From reader reviews:

Teresa Howard:

Now a day people who Living in the era where everything reachable by connect to the internet and the resources included can be true or not involve people to be aware of each information they get. How a lot more to be smart in getting any information nowadays? Of course the answer then is reading a book. Examining a book can help men and women out of this uncertainty Information specially this Python Geospatial Analysis Cookbook book as this book offers you rich data and knowledge. Of course the data in this book hundred per-cent guarantees there is no doubt in it you may already know.

Thelma Scott:

Nowadays reading books become more than want or need but also get a life style. This reading behavior give you lot of advantages. The advantages you got of course the knowledge the particular information inside the book that improve your knowledge and information. The info you get based on what kind of reserve you read, if you want get more knowledge just go with education and learning books but if you want truly feel happy read one along with theme for entertaining for instance comic or novel. The actual Python Geospatial Analysis Cookbook is kind of publication which is giving the reader unstable experience.

Gary Clark:

Information is provisions for anyone to get better life, information currently can get by anyone at everywhere. The information can be a knowledge or any news even restricted. What people must be consider while those information which is inside former life are hard to be find than now is taking seriously which one is suitable to believe or which one the actual resource are convinced. If you receive the unstable resource then you buy it as your main information there will be huge disadvantage for you. All those possibilities will not happen in you if you take Python Geospatial Analysis Cookbook as the daily resource information.

Norman Ross:

Do you have something that you like such as book? The book lovers usually prefer to decide on book like comic, quick story and the biggest one is novel. Now, why not hoping Python Geospatial Analysis Cookbook that give your satisfaction preference will be satisfied simply by reading this book. Reading habit all over the world can be said as the method for people to know world considerably better then how they react towards the world. It can't be claimed constantly that reading habit only for the geeky particular person but for all of you who wants to become success person. So , for every you who want to start reading as your good habit, you can pick Python Geospatial Analysis Cookbook become your current starter.
