The Odyssey project's aim was to produce a vector GIS that provided spatial analysis of many different forms within a single system. As of 1980, in addition to early Odyssey modules, the Laboratory sold the following programs for display and analysis of spatial data [11] ASPEX - 3d data perspectives; CALFORM - shaded vector maps;
A GIS system to create, visualize, manage, and analyze spatial data. Supports desktop, web, and mobile applications. In addition to spatial data editing and visualization, ArcGIS provides spatial analysis and modeling features including overlay, surface, proximity, suitability, and network analysis, as well as interpolation analysis and other ...
Professor Andrew Hudson-Smith took over the directorship in 2011 and appointed a deputy director, Dr Adam Dennett in 2016. Adam Dennett is now the director of the Centre and associate professor. Masters courses developed since 2010 include MSc's in Smart Cities and Urban Analytics [2] and Spatial Data Science and Visualisation. [3]
PostGIS (/ ˈ p oʊ s t dʒ ɪ s / POST-jis) is an open source software program that adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. PostGIS follows the Simple Features for SQL specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
GIS and RS training at the University of Pune started in June 2001 as a one-year diploma course for students from interdisciplinary backgrounds. Dr. (Ms.) Vrishali Deosthali started the course, aiming to create professionals armed with sound knowledge and practical experience, to serve in the remote sensing and GIS industry.
Geographic information science (GIScience, GISc) or geoinformation science is a scientific discipline at the crossroads of computational science, social science, and natural science that studies geographic information, including how it represents phenomena in the real world, how it represents the way humans understand the world, and how it can be captured, organized, and analyzed.
GIS data acquisition includes several methods for gathering spatial data into a GIS database, which can be grouped into three categories: primary data capture, the direct measurement phenomena in the field (e.g., remote sensing, the global positioning system); secondary data capture, the extraction of information from existing sources that are ...
The Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge (GISTBoK) is a reference document produced by the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) as the first product of its Model Curricula project, started in 1997 by Duane Marble and a select task force, and completed in 2006 by David DiBiase and a team of editors.
