Preface

With the advancement of remote sensing technology, wide usage of GPS devices in vehicles and cell phones, popularity of mobile applications, crowd sourcing, and geographic information systems, as well as cheaper data storage devices, enormous geo-referenced data is being collected from broader disciplines ranging from business to science and engineering. The volume, velocity, and variety of such geo-reference data are exceeding the capability of traditional spatial computing platform (also called Spatial big data or SBD). Emerging spatial big data has transformative potential in solving many grand societal challenges such as water resource management, food security, disaster response, and transportation. However, significant computational challenges exist in analyzing SBD due to the unique spatial characteristics including spatial autocorrelation, anisotropy, heterogeneity, multiple scales, and resolutions. This book discusses the current techniques for s
