Geospatial computing includes utilizing computing devices and sensors to
acquire, process, analyze, manage, and visualize geospatial data, which
users can then interact with via a large variety of smart geospatial
applications. Geospatial computing is a computational-demanding task, in
terms of computation power, data storage capacity, and memory space.
Therefore, it has primarily been performed on non-mobile computers. Recent
developments allow smartphones to meet many of the demanded requirements
for geospatial computing. This book addresses the topic of geospatial
computing in smartphones, including positioning, mobile Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and smart mobile applications. You are provided
with aspects related to positioning methods, as well as solutions for
geospatial data acquisition, processing, and visualization. This resource
also covers various aspects of the application technologies, such as
context detection and context intelligence.
