Geo Referencing
Georeferencing in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is the
process of aligning spatial data, such as maps, satellite images,
or aerial photographs, with real-world coordinates, allowing
them to be accurately located and overlaid with other
geographic data. It involves assigning spatial reference
information to the data, so it can be placed in the correct
geographic context.
Image Classification
Image classification involves categorizing pixels or image
objects into different classes based on their spectral
characteristics.
Supervised Classification
Unsupervised Classification
Object-Based Classification
Navigational Satellites
Navigational satellites play a significant role in GIS (Geographic
Information Systems) by providing accurate positioning and
navigation data. These satellite systems enable the collection of
precise location information, which is essential for various GIS
applications.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The GPS is a constellation of satellites owned and operated by
the United States government. It consists of a network of
satellites in medium Earth orbit that transmit signals to GPS
receivers on the ground. These receivers calculate the user's
position, velocity, and time using the signals from multiple
satellites. GPS is widely used in GIS for mapping, surveying,
asset management, tracking, and navigation purposes.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
GNSS is a generic term that encompasses multiple satellite
systems developed by different countries or organizations.
Besides GPS, other notable GNSS systems include:
Galileo
BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS)
NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation)
Positioning system
Positioning system is a system for
determining the position of an object in
space. One of the most well-known and
commonly used positioning systems is the
Global Positioning System (GPS).
What are the fundamental and elements of
GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S.
-owned utility that provides users with
positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT)
services.
Differential GPS
A Differential Global Positioning System
(DGPS) is an enhancement to the Global
Positioning System (GPS) which provides
improved location accuracy, in the range of
operations of each system, fromthe 15-
meter nominal GPS accuracy to about
1–3 cm in case of the best implementations
of DGPS.
