Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have been characterized by rapid developments in various fields of geospatial analysis and mapping. The use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has developed rapidly at both commercial and academic research levels.
This Special Issue brings together scientists, developers and advanced users in software development, geographical data acquisition, processing and visualization, aiming to encourage cooperation and diffusion in the various fields where open source technologies are nowadays used.
With this Special Issue on "Free and Open Source Tools for Geospatial Analysis and Mapping", we address research methods, as well as applications on the design, implementation, characterization and use of free and open-source software for geospatial and environmental analysis, positioning, mapping, photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information science. This includes the development of new and innovative technological concepts based on free and open source software for scientific research, as well as for education and business projects.
Prospective authors are cordially invited to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting an article containing original research.
