Foreword: South African Journal of Geomatics Special Edition

Abstract

This special edition of the South African Journal of Geomatics is the result of efforts by scholars and practitioners in South Africa in the field of geomatics. All papers were blind refereed by two referees, whose reports were then considered prior to selection for publication. The outcome of this work is a collection of eleven articles that demonstrate innovation in the four geomatics themes selected for this Special Edition, namely remote sensing, image analysis, mine surveying and GIS. This would not be possible without the excellent papers contributed by authors. We thank all the authors for their contributions and their participation in this Special Edition of the South African Journal of Geomatics.
