Readings

  • Jensen and Jensen Chapter 3

Introduction

  • If a GIS is a system for analyzing geospatial data, then we must consider where we can acquire the data used by the GIS.
  • We may classify the various data sources as in situ and remote sensing data collection sources.

In situ Data Collection Methods

  • GPS/Land surveying
  • Ground-based sampling (census)
  • Digitization of hard-copy data

Remotely Sensed Data Collection Methods

  • Aerial photography
  • Multispectral/hyperspectral
  • Thermal infrared imaging
  • LiDAR (laser scanning)
  • Radar (active microwave)
  • Sonar (used for bathymmetry)
