What is Geospatial Technology?

Geospatial technology refers to the use of technology in gathering, analyzing, and interpreting geographic information describing the earth’s surface. The application involves a wide range of tools and techniques for mapping spatial phenomena for analysis to help visualize, measure and understand the relationships of several geographical variables. This application of the technology is wide-ranging and… Continue reading What is Geospatial Technology?

Cadastral Map

A cadastral map is the cartographic representation of the boundaries related to land ownership. It details property lines and parcels and sometimes even associate records, like deeds, tax records, and land use rights. These maps form the base of legal property rights and are often used as documents in the event of disputes, transactions, and… Continue reading Cadastral Map

Satellite Imagery

Satellite imagery was used to improve many sectors through images of Earth based on space. Resolution referring to a true view of Earth, this impacted diffusion at its farthest and wildest reach touching several other sectors including agriculture and even urban planning, environmental monitoring and even management of disasters. What is Satellite Imagery? Satellite imagery… Continue reading Satellite Imagery

What is Land Use Mapping?

Land use mapping is the scientific process that categorizes and displays regions based on their use. These include urban development, agriculture, forestry, recreation, and conservation. These maps denote how humans interact with landscapes and modify them. That is up to-date and previews the current trends of what is to come. Land use mapping is the… Continue reading What is Land Use Mapping?

Soil Mapping

The modern technique of soil mapping has developed as a consequence of the advancements made in the domains of GIS and remote sensing technologies. Analyzing the spatial contextual relationship of soils brought about a revolution in decision-making related to crop selection, irrigation, fertilization, and also conservation of the soil, in the minds of agriculturalists and… Continue reading Soil Mapping

How to Get a Current Satellite View of My Property?

The demand to view real-time or recently captured images of a specific place, for instance, private properties is surging. Being that the current state of GIS and remote sensing technology makes it very easy to get a sat view of your property, people will not be able to use it appropriately without knowledge about the… Continue reading How to Get a Current Satellite View of My Property?

Agricultural Imagery

Agricultural Imagery

Technological advancement in the application of Geographic Information Systems has transformed agriculture completely over the past decade. In recent times, this has been through agricultural imagery starting from using satellite and drone-based imagery to have a watchful eye on monitoring, managing and optimizing farming activities. Thus, it is through this process that Precision Agriculture Mapping… Continue reading Agricultural Imagery

Agricultural Mapping

Agriculture has always been the core of human civilization over centuries but the processes it has had to embrace in order to cater to the expansive populations, variability of climate and meager resources have been changing with time. Meanwhile, using GIS technology, mapping agriculture has become a wonderful powerful tool for optimizing farming practices. Agricultural… Continue reading Agricultural Mapping

Space Imaging

NASA s/n1126 83.3F

While satellite imagery is often used synonymously with space imaging the latter is a crucial factor in GIS and Earth observation technologies. It can capture images of the Earth’s surface using high-resolution cameras, multispectral sensors as well as satellite-based systems employing radar technology. Such imaging is then found to be of great use to sectors… Continue reading Space Imaging

Aerial Photogrammetry

The very high-resolution images captured through aerial platforms like drones, helicopters or aircraft yield geospatial data. These images are overlapped to reconstruct the 2D orthophoto or 3D DEMs. During this process, stereo photogrammetry retrieves accurate geographic information by comparing variations of perspective between overlapping images or more. The use of aerial photogrammetry by the GIS… Continue reading Aerial Photogrammetry
