Gis
Geographical Information System (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying spatially-referenced data. GIS allows users to visualize relationships and patterns in data through maps, globes, reports, and charts. The key components of GIS are data capture, database management, geographic analysis, and result preparation. GIS data comes in vector and raster formats, with vector being better for representing real-world features precisely and raster being better for dense data like elevation or land cover. GIS provides accurate data, better analysis and predictions, and helps answer questions by visualizing spatial relationships. However, GIS software can be expensive and difficult to integrate with traditional maps.
interpolation.ppt
The document discusses spatial interpolation techniques in GIS. It describes three main types of interpolation: resampling raster data, transforming surfaces between data models, and creating surfaces from sample point values. It focuses on the latter, explaining that interpolation works best when values are spatially dependent. Common examples given include interpolating elevation, weather, groundwater contamination, and crime rates. Key requirements for interpolation include sufficient sample points to capture spatial variation at the desired scale of analysis. Common interpolation methods in GIS software like ArcGIS are inverse distance weighting (IDW), spline, and kriging. IDW weights points based on distance to interpolated locations.
Introduction to GIS
GIS is a system for managing and analyzing geographic data. It uses two main data models: vector, representing points, lines and polygons; and raster, representing data as a grid of cells. Common file formats include shapefiles for vector data and GeoTIFF and MrSID for raster. GIS data is referenced using coordinate systems like WGS84 for global latitude/longitude or HK80Grid for Hong Kong. ESRI's ArcGIS software allows viewing, editing, and publishing this geospatial data for mapping and analysis.

An introduction to geographic information systems (gis) m goulbourne 2007Michelle Goulbourne @ DiaMind Health
This document provides an introduction to geographic information systems (GIS). It defines GIS as a collection of hardware, software, and geographic data used to capture, store, analyze and display spatially referenced information. The document gives a brief history of GIS and describes its key components, including spatial data, attribute data, software, and users. It also explains different types of data layers, scales, and four common map types: choropleth, contour, dot, and symbol maps. The overall purpose of the document is to explain the basic concepts and applications of GIS.Raster data model
The raster data model divides a geographic area into a grid of cells or pixels that represent attribute values. Each cell has a specific resolution depending on the real world area it represents. Common types of raster data include satellite imagery, digital elevation models (DEMs), digital orthophotos, scanned maps, and graphic files. Raster data is stored using different structures like cell-by-cell encoding, run-length encoding, and quadtree encoding to reduce storage requirements. Raster data can be projected and integrated with vector data for analysis and display in GIS.
Types of GIS Data
This document discusses different types of GIS data. Spatial data represents geographic locations and features on Earth and includes data types like points, lines, and polygons. Attribute data describes characteristics of spatial features like forests stands and includes data types like tabular data. Raster data models land cover with square grid cells, while vector data represents features as points, lines, or polygons which can accurately show shape and topology. Spatial data is mapped and stored with coordinates, while attribute data describes characteristics and is often linked to spatial data in a database.
Spatial Database and Database Management System
This document discusses spatial databases and database management systems. It defines spatial data as data related to location, such as coordinates, and non-spatial data as descriptive attributes not defined by geometry alone, such as area or name. A spatial database is optimized to store and query spatial data using spatial indexes, queries, analysis and intelligence. A database management system allows users to define, construct and manipulate databases for applications through components like storage management and query processing. Different database models - hierarchical, network, relational and object-oriented - are described based on how data and relationships are represented.
Coordinate systems, datum & map projections
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.
Geospatial Data ppt.pptx
Geospatial data has two main components - spatial data and attribute data. Spatial data describes the location and geometry of features on Earth's surface, which can be discrete (individually distinguishable) like points, lines, and areas, or continuous (existing between observations). Attribute data describes the characteristics of spatial features. There are two main models for representing spatial data - the vector data model uses x-y coordinates to represent point, line and area features, while the raster data model uses a grid of cells. Projection transforms spherical Earth coordinates like longitude and latitude to a plane coordinate system for mapping.
WEB GIS AND WEB MAP.pptx
This document discusses Web GIS and Web mapping. It defines Web GIS as a type of distributed information system comprising a GIS server and a client, typically accessed through a web browser. The main components of Web GIS are identified as the client (web browser), internet connection, web server, map server, and metadata. Various functions and advantages of Web GIS are outlined, including visualization, querying geospatial data, collecting/editing information, disseminating information, and analysis. Different types of web maps are also described such as analytical, animated, real-time, collaborative, and static web maps. In conclusion, the document emphasizes that successful Web GIS development requires considering the implementation as a process rather than a single
GIS - Topology
This document discusses GIS topology, which establishes rules for how geographic features share geometry and spatial relationships. Topology ensures data quality, enhances analysis, and manages coincident geometry. It has three components: connectivity between nodes and arcs, area definition using polygon boundaries, and contiguity to determine adjacent features. Topological rules prevent errors like overlaps, gaps, dangles and ensure proper containment of points and boundaries.

ppt spatial data
This document discusses two types of spatial data used in GIS - vector data and raster data. Vector data represents geographic features as points, lines, and polygons using vertices with x, y, and z coordinates. It allows for accurate representation of shapes and storing of attribute data but requires more processing and storage. Raster data represents geographic information through a grid of cells (pixels), with each cell storing attribute values like elevation or temperature. It is better for continuously changing data but cannot represent linear features well and has increased storage needs at higher resolutions. Both data types have advantages and disadvantages depending on the use case.

Survey of Parallel Data Processing in Context with MapReduce
MapReduce is a parallel programming model and an associated implementation introduced by
Google. In the programming model, a user specifies the computation by two functions, Map and Reduce. The underlying MapReduce library automatically parallelizes the computation, and handles complicated issues like data distribution, load balancing and fault tolerance. The original MapReduce implementation by Google, as well as its open-source counterpart,Hadoop, is aimed for parallelizing computing in large clusters of commodity machines.This paper gives an overview of MapReduce programming model and its applications. The author has described here the workflow of MapReduce process. Some important issues, like fault tolerance, are studied in more detail. Even the illustration of working of Map Reduce is given. The data locality issue in heterogeneous environments can noticeably reduce the Map Reduce performance. In this paper, the author has addressed the illustration of data across nodes in a way that each node has a balanced data processing load stored in a parallel manner. Given a data intensive application running on a Hadoop Map Reduce cluster, the auhor has exemplified how data placement is done in Hadoop architecture and the role of Map Reduce in the Hadoop Architecture. The amount of data stored in each node to achieve improved data-processing performance is explained here.

It then covers how to create a class with properties in C# and use objects. The document also discusses encapsulation in ADO.NET and how it handles connecting to databases. It provides steps for connecting to a database, creating a data adapter and dataset, binding controls to display data, and adding code to populate the dataset and allow navigation between records.
Big Data: An Overview
Big data refers to datasets that are too large to be managed by traditional database tools. It is characterized by volume, velocity, and variety. Hadoop is an open-source software framework that allows distributed processing of large datasets across clusters of computers. It works by distributing storage across nodes as blocks and distributing computation via a MapReduce programming paradigm where nodes process data in parallel. Common uses of big data include analyzing social media, sensor data, and using machine learning on large datasets.
HadoopDB
HadoopDB is a system that aims to achieve the performance of parallel databases while maintaining Hadoop's fault tolerance and ability to work in heterogeneous environments. It connects single-node database systems and uses Hadoop for coordination and networking. This allows queries to be parallelized across nodes for performance similar to parallel databases. The architecture includes components for interfacing databases, managing metadata, loading and partitioning data, and planning and optimizing SQL queries for MapReduce execution. Benchmarking showed HadoopDB outperformed Hadoop and PostgreSQL for queries on large datasets, though some commercial parallel databases were still faster by using techniques like columnar storage and compression that HadoopDB did not yet employ.

Habitat Change Analysis Project
Presented by Patrick Woerner and John Reiser at the Northeast Arc Users Group, November 10, 2015.
Wildlife habitat change trend information is a necessary and fundamental component for successful assessment and management of wildlife species. Habitat loss and fragmentation continue to be the two most serious threats to wildlife populations. To effectively protect endangered and threatened species populations and to evaluate protection and management efforts, it is important for wildlife agencies to actively identify and monitor habitat for each listed species. New Jersey’s Division of Fish and Wildlife adopted a habitat change analysis approach to track wildlife habitat transition and fragmentation trends over time. The programmatic GIS analysis approach extracts potential habitat from available Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) data based on species habitat associations and range extents. The analysis spans four time periods between 1986 and 2012. Analysis outputs provide readily available, up-to-date, multi-level, species-specific habitat change information to support agency initiatives. Resulting maps and data serve as a guide to help prioritize work for particular species and their habitats and provide baseline information for the development of species status assessments and recovery plans. Outputs also provide a basis for additional analyses such as evaluating habitat change in regulated vs. unregulated areas, evaluating habitat conservation planning efforts, and other land-use planning, land management and preservation efforts.

GPS - Fall 2011
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) can be used for navigation, surveying, and precise timekeeping. GPS works by using satellites that transmit encoded signals to receivers, which then use triangulation to determine their location. However, GPS has limitations - it is a one-way system so additional equipment is needed for tracking, signals cannot penetrate buildings or underground, and it only provides location data without navigation directions. The accuracy of GPS locations can be affected by factors like receiver quality, multipath issues, and satellite health.
Data Models - GIS I
GIS models reality through abstraction using a mix of raster, vector, and attribute data tailored to specific functions. Topological vector models record shared geometries like points and lines only once, allowing features to be connected and ensuring integrity as changes propagate between related features. Object-oriented models represent real-world phenomena as interconnected objects with their own rules and relationships.
