Types of Platforms
1. Airbrone Platforms
2. Spacebrone Platforms
Platforms are Vital Role in remote sensing data acquisition
Necessary to correct the position the remote sensors that collect data from the objects of interest
When you georeference your raster data, you define its location using map coordinates and assign the coordinate system of the map frame. Georeferencing raster data allows it to be viewed, queried, and analyzed with your other geographic data. The georeferencing tools on the Georeference tab allows you to georeference any raster dataset.
In general, there are four steps to georeference your data:
Add the raster dataset that you want to align with your projected data.
Use the Georeference tab to create control points, to connect your raster to known positions in the map
Review the control points and the errors
Save the georeferencing result, when you are satisfied with the alignment.
This is most benificial for the First year Engineering students.This presentation consists of videos and many applications of GIS. The processes and the other parts of GIS is also nicely explained.
Remote Sensing: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)Kamlesh Kumar
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a numerical indicator that uses the visible and near-infrared (NIR) bands of the electromagnetic spectrum to analyze whether the target (image) being observed contains green vegetation or not. Healthy vegetation (chlorophyll) reflects more near-infrared (NIR) and green light compared to other wavelengths. But it absorbs more red and blue light. This is why our eyes see vegetation as the colour green. If we could see near-infrared, then it would be strong for vegetation too.
It is basically measured through the use of Intensity, Hue and saturation of an image and through pixels as well.
The density of vegetation (NDVI) at a certain point on the image is equal to the difference in the intensities of reflected light in the red and infrared range divided by the sum of these intensities.
푁퐷푉퐼=((푁퐼푅−푅퐸퐷))/((푁퐼푅+푅퐸퐷))
The result of this formula generates a value between -1 and +1. If you have low reflectance (low values) in the red band and high reflectance in the NIR, this will yield a high NDVI value. And vice versa.

SDI describes the overall methodology, process, existing practice, terms, policies of Nepal.
A Proposed Municipal GIS Capability Maturity ModelGreg Babinski
A geographic information system (GIS) has become a common component of city and county governments. All large municipalities and many medium and small sized cities and counties have now established GIS capability.
Just as each municipality is different, municipal GIS operations vary greatly. Partly this variation results from the ongoing development of GIS capability within many city and city and county governments. But how do these agencies know where their GIS development is in relationship to potential capability for similar agencies?
Other agencies consider that their GIS is mature because their implementation project has been completed and they are doing ongoing GIS operations and maintenance. But how do these agencies know if they are lacking basic GIS capability.
Capability maturity models have been used to assess the ability of agencies to develop software successfully. Recently a GIS maturity model was developed to assess state government GIS capability.
This presentation will outline a proposed Municipal GIS Capability Maturity Model and discuss some preliminary results from applying the model to city and county GIS operations in the Pacific Northwest.
This presentation will be of value to managers to self-assess their GIS operation, determine areas for efficiency or effectiveness improvements, assess system risk factors, analyze capability gaps, and prioritize developments required for a mature GIS.

Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...Samuel Dekolo
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the city’s urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.

4. GIS????
• A geographic information system
(GIS) is a computer system for
capturing, storing, checking, and
displaying data related to positions on
Earth's surface. GIS can show many
different kinds of data on one map. This
enables people to more easily see,
analyse, and understand patterns and
relationships. National Geographic
Society
• GIS software is designed to capture,
manage, analyse, and display all forms
of geographically referenced
information. GIS allows us to view,
understand, question, interpret,
and visualize our world in ways that
reveal relationships, patterns, and
trends in the form of maps, globes,
reports, and charts. GIS software
helps you answer questions and solve
problems by looking at your data in a
way that is quickly understood and
easily shared—on a map! - ESRI
Tuesday, July 25, 2017 GIS - Opportunities in Nigeria Development and SDG 4
5. How Does GIS Work?
• A simple five-step process lets you apply GIS to any business or organizational problem
that requires a geographic decision.
Ask
What is the problem you are trying to
solve or analyse, and where is it
located? Framing the question will
help you decide what to analyse and
how to present the results to
your audience
Acquire
Next you need to find the data
needed to complete your project. The
type of data and the geographic scope
of your project will help direct your
methods of collecting data and
conducting the analysis.
Examine
You will only know for certain
that your data is appropriate for
your study after thoroughly
examining it. This includes how
the data is organized, how
accurate it is, and where the data
came from.
Analyse
Geographic analysis is the core strength
of GIS. Depending on your project, there
are many different analysis methods to
choose from. GIS modelling tools make it
relatively easy to make these changes and
create new output
Act
The results of your analysis can be shared
through reports, maps, tables, and charts
and delivered in printed format or
digitally over a network or on the web.
You need to decide on the best means for
presenting your analysis, and GIS makes it
easy to tailor the results for different
audiences.

6. Required Functions for GIS
The questions that a GIS is required to answer are
mainly as follows :
• What is it......? (Locational question ; what
exists at a particular location)
• Where is it.....? (Conditional question ; which
locations satisfy certain conditions)
• How has it changed........? (Trendy question ;
identifies geographic occurrence or trends that
have changed or in the process of changing)
• Which data are related ........? (Relational
question : analyses the spatial relationship
between objects of geographic features)
• What if.......? (Model based question ;
computers and displays an optimum path, a
suitable land, risky area against disasters etc.
based on model)

18. Challenges Implementing GIS in Nigeria
• Lack of adequate awareness by policy makers – most policy makers are
unaware of the numerous abilities of a GIS; believing it lies only on map making.
• Failure to identify and involve all users - Users in an operational GIS
environment consist of operations, management, and policy levels of the
organization.
• Failure to match GIS capability and needs - The success of a GIS
implementation is particularly sensitive to the right hardware and software choices !
Tuesday, July 25, 2017 GIS - Opportunities in Nigeria Development and SDG 18
19. Challenges Implementing GIS in Nigeria
• Failure to identify total costs - The GIS acquisition cost is relatively easy to identify. However,
it will represent a very small fraction of the total cost of implementing a GIS. Ongoing costs are
substantial and include hardware and software maintenance, staffing, system administration,
initial data loading, data updating, custom programming, and consulting fees.
• Inadequate Data/data types – a lack of readily usable datasets and/or data types is a major
issue.
• Failure to conduct a pilot study - The GIS implementation plan concerns itself with the
many technical and administrative issues and their related cost impacts. Three of the most crucial
issues, are database design, data loading and maintenance, and day-to-day operations. The pilot
study will allow one to gather detailed observations, provided it is properly designed, to allow you
to effectively estimate the operational requirements.

20. FUTURE PROSPECTS OF GIS IN NIGERIA
• Poverty reduction programs: GIS technology could help in better planning of various natural
resources and land use thereby helping in balanced development in poverty reduction programs.
• Disaster management: The technology could help in various measures for prediction,
mitigation and management of disaster such as erosion, solid waste, floods, etc.
• Education: By educating school children, tertiary institutions students, and the general public
on the issues of environmental awareness through better illustrations by GIS technology.
• Agriculture: This technology could provide suitable tools to various agriculture crops, yield
forecasting and monitoring agriculture areas.
• Forestry: Application of these technologies in forestry sector could help better inventory forest
resources, sustainable use of forest resources, reforestation activities, and the management of
community forests
Tuesday, July 25, 2017 GIS - Opportunities in Nigeria Development and SDG 20
21. FUTURE PROSPECTS OF GIS IN NIGERIA
• Biodiversity: Also helps in better management of biodiversity through better
mapping of resources, and strategies for biodiversity conservation.
• Tourism: Tourism is one of the important sectors of the national economy. The
use of this technology could assist the industry with better planning of tourism
infrastructure, generation and dissemination of such by virtual reality, better
quality maps, etc.
• Health and Medicine: This technology could help in monitoring and
management of areas under herbs, designing herbs plantation areas, monitoring
disease and epidemics, etc.
