Remote Sensing and Geo Information Powerpoint Presentation

Remote sensing involves obtaining information about objects without physical contact using sensors to measure electromagnetic radiation. There are two main types of remote sensing: active sensing which uses an artificial energy source controlled by humans, and passive sensing which relies on natural energy sources like the sun. Remote sensing has various applications in fields like meteorology, oceanography, geology, agriculture, and hydrology. Geo-information systems (GIS) integrate spatial data with other data sources to capture, store, manipulate, analyze and display geographic information using computer hardware, software, and personnel. GIS has advantages like allowing visualization of relationships in data through maps and charts, but also has disadvantages like requiring expensive software and potential for long outage periods if repairs are needed.

Remote sensing

 Definition:
 Remote sensing is a method of obtaining information about the properties of an
object without coming into physical contact with it.
 Remote sensing is a technology for sampling electromagnetic radiation to acquire
and interpret non-immediate geospatial data from which to extract information
about features and objects on the earth’s land surface , oceans, and atmosphere.
Remote sensing sensors

 Active remote sensors:-


 1) Active remote sensing uses an artificial source for energy.
 2)For example:- The satellite itself can send a pulse of energy which can interact
with the target.
 3)In active remote sensing , humans can control the nature (wavelength, power ,
duration)of the source energy . Active remote sensing can be carried out during
day and night and in all weather conditions.
 Passive remote sensing:-
 1) Passive remote sensing depends on a natural source to provide energy.
 2) For example:- Sun is the most powerful and commonly used source of energy
for passive remote sensing.
 3)The satellite sensor in this case records primarily the radiation that is reflected
from the target.
Advantagtes of remote sensing :-

 Provides a regional view(large areas).


 Provides repetitive looks at the same area.
 Remote sensors “see” over a broader . Portion of the spectrum than the human
eye.
 Provides geo-referenced, digital, data.
 Some remote sensors operate in all seasons , at night, and in bad weather.
Disadvantages of remote sensing:-

 Expensive to build and operate.


 Needs ground verification.
 Not the best tool for small areas.
 Needs expert system to extract data.
Applications of remote sensing

1) Meteorology:-
a)Profiling of atmospheric temp, and water vapor .
b) Measuring wind velocity .
2)Oceanography:-
a) Measurements of sea surface temperature .
b)Mapping ocean currents .
3)Glaciology:-
a)Mapping motion of sea ice and ice sheets.
b)Determining the navigability of the sea.
4)Geology:-
a)Identification of rock types.
b) Location of geological faults and anomalies(unique).
5)Agriculture:-
a)Monitoring the extend and type of vegetation.
b)Mapping soil types.
6)Hydrology:-
a)Accessing water resources.
b)Forecasting melt water run-off from snow.
Geo-Information

 Definition:-
 “GIS is a computer system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and
displaying geographically referenced information, i.e. data identified according to
their locations.”
 “A GIS is an organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic
data, and personnel to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and
display all forms of geographically referenced information.”
Principle

 Data capture:-Data sources are mainly obtained from manual digitalization and
scanning of aerial photographs, paper maps, and existing digital data sets.
 Database management and update:-Data security, data integrity, and data storage
and retrieval and data maintenance abilities.
 Geographic Analysis :- The collected information is analyzed and interpreted
qualitatively and quantitatively.
 Preparing result:- One of the most exciting aspects of GIS technology is the
variety of different ways in which the information can be presented.
Functions

 Data capture:- The input of data into a GIS can be achieved through many
different methods of gathering. For example, aerial photography, scanning,
digitalizing, GPS or global positioning system is just a few of the ways a GIS user
could obtain data.
 Data storage:-Some data is stored such as a map in a drawer while others, such as
digital data, can be as a hardcopy, stored on CD or on your hard drive .
 Data manipulation:-The digital geographical data can be edited, this allows for
many attribute to be added , edited , or deleted to the specification of the project.
 Query and Analysis:- GIS was widely in decision making process for the new
commission districts . We use population data to help establish an equal
representation of population to area for each district.
 Visualization:- This represents the ability to display your data , your maps, and
information.
Components

 Hardware:-Computer system , scanner, printer, plotter, Flat board.


 Software:-GIS software in use are MapInfo , ARC/Info , AutoCAD Map, etc. The
software available can be said to be application specific.
 Data:-
a)A GIS will integrate spatial data with other data resources and
can even use a DBMS, used by most organization to maintain their data, to manage
spatial data.
b)Geographic data and related tabular data can be collected in-house or purchased
from a commercial data provider.
 People:- GIS users range from technical specialists who design and maintain.
 Method:- The map creation can either be automated raster to vector creator or it
can be manually victories using the scanned images.
Advantages of GIS

 GIS allows us to view, understand , and visualize data in many ways that reveal
relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.
 A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in
a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.
 GIS give the accurate data.
 Better predictions and analysis.
Disadvantages of GIS

Excessive damage in case of internal fault. Long outage periods as repair of


damaged part at site may be difficult.
Expensive software.
Integration with traditional map is difficult.
