Open Source GIS: A Grass GIS Approach Helena Mitasova, Markus Neteler
Publisher: Springer

For example, GIS More recently, there are a growing number of free, open source GIS packages which run on a range of operating systems and can be customized to perform specific tasks. GRASS GIS has snazzy kernel density estimation built-in to its core framework. Michal M's latest experiments on automated cartography brought back memories on some experiments I made myself in trying to replicate old map style cartography using modern (free and open-source) GIS packages.

It's used across the statistical spectrum to fit smoothed boundaries to observed data (with a parameter you decide arbitrarily, or solve using a few different approaches). Kernel Density Estimation is a fancy way of demonstrating clusters and potential outliers. The idea is simple, I'm looking for alternative background styling for topographic features (like hills and mountains) that is different from the usual shaded relief approach.
