Course objectives

The goal of this course is teaching basis techniques used in commercial geoinformation systems. The course is practically oriented, techniques are illustrated by examples.

Syllabus

• An overview of basic notions of geo-information systems , land-oriented infor mation systems and cartography.
• The hierarchy of spatial data: vector representation, raster representation a nd topological relations.
• Spatial data structures and methods of an effective access (indexing a space).
• Operational calculus over vector spatial data.
• Raster representation.
• Basic operations over raster data.
• Topological relations and typical tasks used in geo-information technology.
• Administration of spatial data, databases and techniques related to spatial data.
