GEOINT 2009: From Intel to Imaging, But Full Motion Video Stole the ShowGEOINT 2009: From Intel to Imaging, But Full Motion Video Stole the Show

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation's GEOINT Symposium (Oct 19-22, San Antonio, TX) underwent a major transformation this year. Historically a conference offering a broad suite of geospatial solutions, it now emphasizes satellite imaging and specifically this year, the exploitation of full motion video (FMV). There seemed to be less of a focus on pure GIS technology, but a heavy concentration on remote sensing. Editor in Chief Joe Francica provides a recap of the technology offered by the conference exhibitors.

Principles of Modeling Uncertainties in Spatial Data and Spatial Analyses
When compared to classical sciences such as math, with roots in prehistory, and physics, with roots in antiquity, geographical information science (GISci) is the new kid on the block. Its theoretical foundations are therefore still developing and data quality and uncertainty modeling for spatial data and spatial analysis is an important branch of that theory. Principles of Modeling Uncertainties in Spatial Data and Spatial Analyses outlines the foundational principles and supplies a firm grasp of the disciplines' theoretical underpinnings. From CRC, 2009.

National Geographic Image Collection
Behind National Geographic's worldwide reputation as a powerhouse of photography lies one of the finest, most extensive, and most unique graphic resources on Earth: the National Geographic Image Collection. For the first time ever, readers will plumb the fascinating depths of this immense archive from the earliest photographs collected in the late 19th century to the cutting-edge work of today. Both iconic and never-before-seen images from virtually every corner of the globe, every species of wildlife, and amazing human achievements in exploration, adventure, science and more are showcased and placed in historic, artistic, technical and journalistic context. From Focal Point, 2009.

Spatial Information Theory: 9th International Conference, COSIT 2009 Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory, COSIT 2009 held in Aber Wrac'h, France in September 2009. The 30 revised full papers were carefully reviewed from 70 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on cognitive processing and models for spatial cognition, semantic modeling, spatial reasoning, spatial cognition, spatial knowledge, scene and visibility modeling, spatial modeling, events and processes, and route planning. From Springer, 2009.
