Landmarks GIScience for Intelligent Services

“This book focuses on how landmarks can be (or should be) used on an intelligent navigation system … . recommended to cognitive and behavioral scientists who are interested in the practice of navigation assistance and computer scientists interested in the theoretical research into human spatial cognition. Each chapter is provided with a good reference list, which helps graduate students to continue further research on wayfinding and navigation. The book’s thoughtful discussions open the door to future research questions as well.” (Toru Ishikawa, Künstliche Intelligenz, Vol. 31, 2017) 

“It is a timely, well-researched, and well-written review of perceptual, cognitive, and computational modeling perspectives on the question of landmarks in the urban environment. … Researchers and graduate students in the computer and geographical sciences will find this an interesting and informative review of research and concepts in its scope. … This book is a very readable and instructive resource for those interested in geospatial representation and reasoning and related subjects, especially in urban settings.” (R. M. Malyankar, Computing Reviews, December, 2014)
