Planimetric Mapping

The ‘smart’ revolution. We are living in a generation where most common and important word is ‘smart’. From smart people to smart phones and from smart maps to smart cities everything is getting smarter. Geospatial technology is progressing by leaps and bounds towards this smartness. The technology itself is getting smarter and contributing in other… Continue reading Planimetric Mapping

AMDB | An Integral Part of the Modern Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)

Introduction   An AMDB is a Geographic Information System (GIS) based representation describing the topography of an airport. The geometry of aerodrome features is modelled by points, lines and polygons. Additional information characterizing the features and their functions is stored as attributes. Examples of attributes are name or identifier, quality parameters and surface type. Vertical… Continue reading AMDB | An Integral Part of the Modern Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)

Pipeline monitoring and surveillance using Geospatial Approach

Pipeline Monitoring System and Surveillance Pipeline equipped with pumps, valves, and other devices to transfer liquids, gases, and slurries from one place to another. Pipeline monitoring systems and surveillance provide a technique to monitor the condition of a pipeline such as evaluation of corrosion, preservation of the environment, leakage detection, etc.   Airborne Pipeline monitoring… Continue reading Pipeline monitoring and surveillance using Geospatial Approach

Elevation Models in GIS Environment

The three most frequently used geospatial features generated by mapping systems are digital elevation models (DEM), digital surface models (DSM), and digital terrain models (DTM). Because each model employs a different methodology, each data product provides a different elevation value. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) A digital elevation model is a bare-earth raster grid referenced to a vertical datum.… Continue reading Elevation Models in GIS Environment

Unlocking the World’s Secrets: High-Resolution Satellites and Their Transformative Power

In the vast realm of technological progress, few innovations have captivated our collective imagination and transformed the way we perceive our world as profoundly as high-resolution satellites. These remarkable spacecrafts, bristling with cutting-edge imaging sensors, have elevated the art of Earth observation to unprecedented levels of precision and detail. High-resolution satellites are our window to… Continue reading Unlocking the World’s Secrets: High-Resolution Satellites and Their Transformative Power

Landsat 8 to continue the legacy

No discussion about earth observation and Remote Sensing is complete without a mention of Landsat satellites. The Landsat program is the longest running endeavor for acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. On July 23, 1972 the Earth Resources Technology Satellite , eventually renamed to Landsat, was launched. The most recent, Landsat 7 with ETM+ on… Continue reading Landsat 8 to continue the legacy

GIS and Remote Sensing: A Cutting Edge technology for Epidemiology

“Epidemics on the other side of the world are a threat to us all. No epidemic is just local – Peter Piot”   Introduction   An epidemic is a disease that spreads rapidly among many people in a community at the same time. A pandemic is an outbreak of global proportions. It happens when a… Continue reading GIS and Remote Sensing: A Cutting Edge technology for Epidemiology

Disaster Management using Geospatial Technology

Introduction Disaster mapping is the drawing of areas that have been through excessive natural or man-made troubles to the normal environment where there is a loss of life, property, and national infrastructures. Remote sensing has a deep-rooted application in disaster mapping and management. Various disasters like earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and cyclones… Continue reading Disaster Management using Geospatial Technology
