Various industries might be influenced by existing definitions, but below is a brief one proposed for those who are interested in applying GIS to health projects: “GIS is a computer-based, dynamic mapping system with spatial data processing, querying, and sharing capabilities.” Computer-based: Clearly, GIS is a computer technology. You will be using web technologies on […]

Know about 4D GIS and its application area

/ / Uncategorized / , , / 3 minutes of reading

Each kind of map conveys information about a particular place or event. They show how people and places are related. 4D GIS assembles a large volume of information in a simple manner to provide better decision making. Since big data and high data volumes are now changing the way we capture, process, and analyze information, it is essential to harness geospatial data in the simplest way to understand the dynamics of geographical phenomena. 4D GIS is

Geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial technology have come a long way since their launch in the 1960s. The last 20 years have witnessed tremendous growth in GIS technologies, which are no longer used just to incorporate spatial relationships but also are used to analyze and visualize space across time. 4D geographic information systems, also known as spatial-temporal GIS, have become extremely important in fields where geographic information systems are necessary for forecasting dimensions across

This figure provides a simple cross-sectional illustration of the kind of issues that arise. We wish to determine the distance separating points A and B. If A and B are not too far apart (e.g. less than 10 km) we could use a high precision laser rangefinder to establish the slope distance between A and B, assuming there is no atmospheric distortion. In practice, there will be some distortion and the laser wave path will need
