| Book Description | Key Features:Y All aspects of Geoinformatics--Plane Surveying, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS included.Y Gives basic concepts with principles of all aspects discussed.Y Measurements explained with neat line drawing.About the Book:This book is an attempt to bring the different fields of Geoinformatics under one fold to help the novices in gettingthe subject matter at one place. The book includes Plane Surveying, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing,Geographic Information System (GIS), and Global Positioning System (GPS). The subject matter emphasizes onthe basic concepts and practices in use. The book has six sections as below:Section I introduces the Geoinformatics as a whole in the perspective of surveying as it has unlimited fields ofapplications. Section II provides basic concepts of errors in Plane Surveying, techniques of making linear andangular measurements for producing topographic maps of areas of moderate extents. Section III deals withPhotogrammetry and technique of measurements on aerial photographs to produce topographic maps. Section IVis devoted to Remote Sensing, principle of this technique, and its application. It also presents various remotesensing missions launched, and the technique of image interpretation and digital image processing. Section Vdiscusses the Geographic Information System (GIS) and its application, data models used in GIS, and how variousspatial entities are related to each other in GIS environment through topology. Section VI is on Global PositioningSystem (GPS) which now finds its use in our day-today life. It is a technology for gathering (x, y, z) coordinates ofpoints anywhere on the globe at any time making use of artificial satellites devoted to GPS. This section explainsprinciple of working of GPS and its use in surveying. |
