Remote Sensing Technology

Remote sensing is a rapidly evolving geospatial technology used to collect information about the Earth's surface and atmosphere without direct physical contact . It involves detecting and measuring electromagnetic radiation (EMR) reflected or emitted from objects using sensors mounted on satellites, aircraft, or drones. Remote sensing systems are fundamentally classified based on (1) the energy source used for illumination and (2) the region of the electromagnetic spectrum utilized for sensing . 1. Types of Remote Sensing Based on Energy Source Remote sensing systems are commonly categorized according to whether the sensor generates its own energy or relies on naturally available radiation . Passive Remote Sensing Principle: Passive remote sensing relies on natural sources of electromagnetic energy , primarily solar radiation reflected from the Earth's surface or thermal radiation emitted by objects. Operation: Most passive sensors operate during daylight when sunlight is av...

Spectral Signature vs. Spectral Reflectance Curve

Spectral Signature  A spectral signature is the unique pattern in which an object: absorbs energy reflects energy emits energy across different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. ✔ Key Points Every natural and man-made object on Earth interacts with sunlight differently. These interactions produce a distinct pattern , just like a "fingerprint". Sensors on satellites record these patterns as digital numbers (DN values) . These patterns help to identify and differentiate objects such as vegetation, soil, water, snow, buildings, minerals, etc. ✔ Examples of Spectral Signatures Healthy vegetation → High reflectance in NIR , strong absorption in red Water → Strong absorption in NIR and SWIR , low reflectance Dry soil → Gradual increase in reflectance from visible to NIR Snow → High reflectance in visible , low in SWIR ✔ Why Spectral Signature Matters It allows: Land cover classification Chan...

History of GIS

1. 1832 - Early Spatial Analysis in Epidemiology:    - Charles Picquet creates a map in Paris detailing cholera deaths per 1,000 inhabitants.    - Utilizes halftone color gradients for visual representation. 2. 1854 - John Snow's Cholera Outbreak Analysis:    - Epidemiologist John Snow identifies cholera outbreak source in London using spatial analysis.    - Maps casualties' residences and nearby water sources to pinpoint the outbreak's origin. 3. Early 20th Century - Photozincography and Layered Mapping:    - Photozincography development allows maps to be split into layers for vegetation, water, etc.    - Introduction of layers, later a key feature in GIS, for separate printing plates. 4. Mid-20th Century - Computer Facilitation of Cartography:    - Waldo Tobler's 1959 publication details using computers for cartography.    - Computer hardware development, driven by nuclear weapon research, leads to broader mapping applications by early 1960s. 5. 1960 - Canada Geograph...

Spatial Entity and Spatial Object

Concepts Spatial Entity : Refers to any real-world feature or phenomenon that exists in a specific location and can be identified in space. This emphasizes the actual physical or conceptual presence of the feature. Spatial Object : Represents the digital or computational representation of a spatial entity within a Geographic Information System (GIS). This includes its geometry (e.g., points, lines, polygons) and associated attributes. Key Distinction : While the terms are often interchangeable, spatial entity tends to focus on the real-world phenomenon, whereas spatial object highlights its representation in GIS. Key Terminologies Geographic Coordinates : Define the location of spatial entities using a coordinate system (e.g., latitude and longitude). Example: A building at 40.748817° N, 73.985428° W . Geometry Types : Point : Represents a single location (e.g., a well or a bus stop). Line : Represents linear features (e.g., roads, rivers). Polyg...

Raster Data Model

A raster data model represents geographic space as a grid of cells (called pixels ). Think of it like a chessboard covering the Earth. Each square = cell / pixel Each cell contains a value That value represents information about that location Example: Elevation = 245 meters Temperature = 32°C Land use = Forest The grid is arranged in: Rows Columns This structure is called a matrix . GRID Model (Cell-Based Matrix Model) 🔹 Concept The GRID model is the most common raster structure used in GIS for spatial analysis . It is mainly used for: Continuous data (data that changes gradually) Sometimes discrete/thematic data 🔹 Structure A 2D matrix (rows × columns) Each cell stores one numeric value Integer (whole number) Float (decimal number) 🔹 Key Terminologies Cell Resolution → Size of each pixel (e.g., 30m × 30m) Spatial Resolution → Level of detail DEM (Digital Elevation Model) → Elevation grid Raster Calculator → Tool for mathematical operations Overlay Analysis → Combining mu...
