This document analyzes stereoscopic 3D geological mapping methods using Cardinal and Esri software systems. It discusses how the Utah Geological Survey and some colleges use the VrOne and VrTwo 3D software from Cardinal Systems to explore, map, and edit areas of geological interest in stereoscopic 3D. This allows for unique observation of elevation and features. The maps are then digitized in 3D, edited, and finished in ArcMap to create 2D geological maps. These maps are field checked and compared to other maps created through different methods to evaluate their accuracy and precision. The document outlines the procedures, field and editing methods, and results of using the Cardinal 3D system for mapping, including both benefits like extensive pre-

Role of GIS in Health Care Management by Dr. Dipti MukherjiPriyanka_vshukla
Presentation on Role of GIS in Health Care Management by Dr. Dipti Mukherji during Seminar on Spatial Dimensions on Health Care - Use of GIS in Health Studies Organised by CEHAT and University of Mumbai on 24th Sep 2010
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a pivotal role in military operations. The concept of Command, Control, Communication and Coordination in military operations is largely dependent on the availability of accurate, spatial information to arrive at quick decisions for operational orders.
In the present digital era, GIS is an excellent tool for military commanders in the operations. The use of GIS applications in military forces has revolutionised the way in which these forces operate and function.

Object Classification of Satellite Images Using Cluster Repulsion Based Kerne...IOSR Journals
Abstract: We investigated the Classification of satellite images and multispectral remote sensing data .we
focused on uncertainty analysis in the produced land-cover maps .we proposed an efficient technique for
classifying the multispectral satellite images using Support Vector Machine (SVM) into road area, building area
and green area. We carried out classification in three modules namely (a) Preprocessing using Gaussian
filtering and conversion from conversion of RGB to Lab color space image (b) object segmentation using
proposed Cluster repulsion based kernel Fuzzy C- Means (FCM) and (c) classification using one-to-many SVM
classifier. The goal of this research is to provide the efficiency in classification of satellite images using the
object-based image analysis. The proposed work is evaluated using the satellite images and the accuracy of the
proposed work is compared to FCM based classification. The results showed that the proposed technique has
achieved better results reaching an accuracy of 79%, 84%, 81% and 97.9% for road, tree, building and vehicle
classification respectively.
Keywords:-Satellite image, FCM Clustering, Classification, SVM classifier.

Access to new technology has allowed increased accuracy and precision in enhancing the field scientists ability to create geological maps. One new mapping method, used by the Utah Geological Survey and a limited number of colleges across
the intermountain west including Southern Utah University, is the creation of geological maps through the VrOne and VrTwo 3D software using stereo models. Using software from Cardinal Systems, it is possible to explore, map, and edit an
area of interest while viewing the terrain in stereoscopic 3D. This allows the ability to observe elevation and physical features from a unique viewpoint. Using this software, several maps of important geological significance in the State of Utah
will be created. These maps will be digitized in 3D, edited, and then finished in Esri ArcMap resulting in a 2D geological map. The maps will then be field checked for accuracy and a final map will be created as a result. These maps will then be
compared for accuracy and precision to other geological maps that have been created through other methods. By using this new stereoscopic 3D method we intend to show a new accurate and efficient way of mapping an area that can be used
by cartographers and scientists alike.

difficult to reach for study purposes.
• Extensive observations of study areas prior to
any field work.
• The ability to focus field studies in a direct and
efficient manner to verify areas of alternative
hypothesis.
• The ability to use multiple programs at once
to observe areas from multiple angles and
points of view.
• The Cardinal software is sensitive and errors
occur often.
• Limited spatial resolution.
• Time is required for a users eyes to adjust to
the 3D environment.
• Time and experience is required to map
accurately using the 3D stealth Z mouse.
