The Development of Multisource Databases for GIS Analysis

Reference No:

GIS 38-1

Geographical Information Systems provide very effective tools for the capture, processing, management, manipulation, display and analysis of data. In application, GIS has proven very effective in the capture and display of map information, in the incorporation of extensive attribute data, very widely used in the conduct of land use, natural resource and other types of inventories, in land and natural resource management areas, and in the generation of very high quality map output.

While GIS has been effective in local applications, global change studies pose a most serious challenge for GIS technology: the scale, scope and complexity of analysis is significantly greater; a diverse array of data sources is required; and a coherent database must be integrated across many themes. This presentation discusses the particular problems associated with creating multisource databases, including: scale, resolution, reference, projection, merge and integration into a common database.

Use of Spot Images within IGN France, Image Maps Derived from Geographic Databases

Reference No:

GIS 38-2

The presentation is an overview of the use of SPOT Images at IGN FRANCE, namely:
(1) Standard use, such as land use acquisition for IGN Medium Scale Data Base, line maps, digital terrain models, image maps; and
(2) Use of Image Maps from IGN Databases. Advantages and disadvantages are compared.

Integration of GIS, Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry and Cartography: The Geoinformatics Approach

Reference No:

GIS 38-3

The presentation is an educator's conceptual approach to the phenomenon of integration he defines as Geoinformatics, describing the parallel development and overlapping of the separate technologies and the meteoric growth of interdisciplinary techniques for spatial data handling.

Integrating Classified Remote Sensing Data in a Digital Landscape Model

Reference No:

GIS 38-4

With the approaching political and monetary changes in Europe, a corresponding integration/standardization of data and classification is also imminent. The presentation discusses the features of CORINE (Coordinated Information on the Environment), a joint European initiative, with some mention of OEEPE (European Organization for Experimental Photogrammetric Research) and its projected DLME (Digital Landscape Model of Europe), CEN (European Committee for Standardization), CERCO (Comite Europeenne des Responsable de la Cartographie Officielle), and EUOGI (European Umbrella Organizations for Geographic Information).
