This is a comprehensive, overarching, interdisciplinary book and a valuable contribution to a unified view of visualisation, imaging, and mapping. It covers a variety of modern techniques, across an array of spatial scales, with examples of how to map, monitor, and visualise the world in which we live. The authors give detailed explanations of the techniques used to map and monitor the built and natural environment and how that data, collected from a wide range of scales and cost options, is translated into an image or visual experience. It is written in a way that successfully reaches technical, professional, and academic readers alike, particularly geographers, architects, geologists, and planners.

The feld of 3D imaging has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few decades, fuelled primarily by the emergence of new technologies, the growing demand for realistic, immersive visual experiences and the ability to easily share the results online. This text is an essential guide for anyone interested in learning about this exciting feld. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or a professional, this book provides a wide-ranging overview of the techniques, technology, and applications used today. With contributions from leading specialists in the feld, it covers an expansive range of topics and technologies over a vast range of scales, such as photogrammetry, laser scanning, drone mapping, and 3D printing.

Features:

- Includes in-depth discussion on 3D image processing and modeling
- Focuses on the 3D application of remote sensing, including LiDAR and digital photography acquired by UAS and terrestrial techniques
- Introduces a broad range of data collection techniques and visualisation methods
- Includes contributions from outstanding experts and interdisciplinary teams involved in earth sciences
- Presents an open access chapter about the EU-funded CHERISH Project, detailing the development of a toolkit for the 3D documentation and analysis of the combined coastline shared between Ireland and Wales

Intended for those with a background in the technology involved with imaging and mapping, the contributions shared in this book introduce readers to new and emerging 3D imaging tools and programs.
