GIS Databases

StarStarStarStar

GIS Databases are specialized databases designed to store, query, and manipulate geographic information and spatial data. Use-case: Managing large datasets for analysis and decision-making in spatial planning.

StarStarStarStar

Remote Sensing

StarStarStarStar

Remote Sensing involves collecting information about objects or areas from a distance, typically from aircraft or satellites. Use-case: Land use analysis, environmental monitoring.

StarStarStarStar

Mobile GIS

StarStarStarStar

Mobile GIS integrates mobile technology with geographic information systems allowing field data collection and validation. Use-case: Real-time data collection and updates while on the move.

StarStarStarStar

Total Station

StarStarStarStar

Total Station is a surveying instrument that combines an electronic theodolite with an electronic distance meter. Use-case: Precise measurement of angles and distances for creating detailed maps.

StarStarStarStar

Photogrammetry

StarStarStarStar

Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects through the process of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images. Use-case: Generating maps from aerial photographs.

StarStarStarStar

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)

StarStarStarStar

LiDAR is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges to the Earth. Use-case: Creating high-resolution maps, topography, and vegetation analysis.

StarStarStarStar

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)

StarStarStarStar

VGI is the harnessing of tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographic data provided voluntarily by individuals. Use-case: Crowdsourcing spatial data for projects like OpenStreetMap.

StarStarStarStar

Field Surveys

StarStarStarStar

Field Surveys involve direct measurement and observation of the physical world at specific locations. Use-case: Ground-truthing for validating remote sensing data.

StarStarStarStar

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Surveys

StarStarStarStar

UAV Surveys involve the use of drones equipped with sensors to collect data over specific areas. Use-case: High-resolution imaging for agricultural monitoring, disaster assessment, and construction planning.

StarStarStarStar

GPS (Global Positioning System)

StarStarStarStar

GPS is a satellite-based system for determining precise locations on Earth by triangulating signals. Use-case: Accurate geolocation for mapping applications.
