b. Spline Interpolation:
Divides the theme into regions, and uses the samples
found in each region to predict individual cell values
for that region.
Is best for gently varying surfaces, such as elevation,
water table heights, or pollution concentration.
c. Kriging Interpolation:
is a form of local and stochastic interpolation using
geostatistical methods.
IDW and Spline are referred to as deterministic
interpolation methods:
directly based on the surrounding measured values or
on specified mathematical formulas.
Kriging is based on statistical models that include
autocorrelation-the statistical relationship among the
measured points.
II. Remote sensing: is recording of information without
touching and data from RS is available in raster format.
Remote sensing on a variety of platforms is perhaps the
most important source of digital data.
III. Scanning Existing Sources: the result is an image as
matrix of pixels.
Digital scanners have a fixed maximum resolution:
the highest number of pixels they can identify per inch;
the unit is dots per inch (dpi).
A 400dpi scanner is a good choice for scanning maps for
use as background GIS reference layer.
For a color aerial photograph to be used for photo
interpretation and analysis, a color 900dpi scanner is more
appropriate.

Edge-Matching
Some GIS systems have merge or edge-matching functions to
solve the problem arising from merging adjacent data sets.
Causes of mismatch
paper map shrinkage/expansion
errors from digitizing/scanning
geo-referencing errors
accuracy of equipment
extrapolation or round-off errors
overlapping map coverage
