Presentation Transcript

  1. Today: • History of GIS and review of software • Data Collection • Concept of Projection • Using ArcMap (in detail) • Georeferencing (BIRN sample) • Using ArcCatalog (create shape file, create coverage, projection) • Using 3D Analyst & Spatial Analyst (create slope map, contour map) • Using ArcReader (sample) • Using ArcScene (sample) Tomorrow: • Geodatabase (Personal Geodatabase , ArcSDE) • Geoprocessing ArcMap, ArcINFO (Create hillshade) • ArcObjects programming model and demo • ArcToolbox (conversions, projections) • Anatomy of ArcIMS and internet mapping ,services • MetaData Explorer

  5. GIS Software • The geoprocessing engines of GIS • Major functions • Collect, store, mange, query, analyze and present • Key terms • Program – collections of instructions to manipulate data • Package– integrated collection of programs • Component – self-contained, reusable software building blocks

  6. Functionality Architecture User Interface Applications Geographic Tools Analysis Output Translation Customization Editing Display Data Manager Spatial Reference Data Access Vector Raster

  9. GIS Market

  10. ArcSDE Unifies Spatial Data Access • ArcGIS Desktop Applications • ArcIMS , ArcExplorer, ArcPad • MapObjects • Third-Party applications ArcSDE Services SQL Server Oracle Informix IBM DB2

  11. Enterprise GIS Organizations expect to... • Leverage existing spatial data (eliminate silos) • Integrate spatial data with core business data • Incorporate spatial into workflow between departments (for a city…tax assessor, appraisal, DPW, police, fire, IT) • Deploy IT standards to all their data • Move client / server GIS apps to the web and wireless devices • Benefit from scalability and security

  12. First, Spatially Enable The Data… Data Is Independent of Application ArcSDE ArcIMS ArcGIS SQL Server High Availability, High Performance, Secure, Scalable

  13. PMF Publisher Authors PMF Documents ArcReader ArcMap Publisher MXD Data A New Extension

  14. Distributed GIS • Consume and expose Web services for: • Mapping • Metadata • Data sharing and distribution • Geoprocessing • Provide standard services and components for web developer (.Net, “generic XML/SOAP”, or Java API’s)

  15. GIS Internet Enterprise Today Applications Browsers Web Web Server Broker Databases

  16. Future GIS Internet Enterprise Applications Browsers Web Broker Web Server Services Databases

  17. Distributed GIS Development • New Concept – g.net architecture • leveraging emerging web technologies • Web services • GIS technology for applications over the web • Mapping • Metadata • GIS Functionality • Spatial Data sharing and distribution • Extends ArcGIS Systemconcept • Desktop Applications • Back Office Servers • Distributed “Services” via the Internet

  18. GIS Portal GIS Portal GIS Portal G.net Architecture Building Blocks • Network architecture (Distributed) • Loosely Coupled • Internet Standards • Many GeoServices • Many Clients • Metadata Servers • Open / Interoperable • Full GIS capabilities GIS Users Connect and UseCheckout and Use Search Catalog and Find World Wide Web • Publish GIS Data & Services • Document in Catalog Metadata Server Author, Manage, Serve Catalogs Author, Manage, Serve Geographic Information Collections

  19. ESRI Direction“Software for G.Net” ArcGIS Used to build • Data • Maps • Models • Applications • Metadata ArcIMS • Serve GIS • Data • Maps • Apps GIS Web Services Array of GIS Clients Access and use GIS data and services • ArcReader • Map Objects for Java • ArcGIS Desktop & Extensions • ArcPad ArcSDE Used to manage • Data • Metadata • Transactions ArcGIS • Author and Manage Metadata • Build Catalog Metadata & Catalog Services GIS Clients ArcIMS • Manage Metadata • Provide Search Services ArcSDE Used to manage and distribute • Metadata

  20. Market Forces Are Driving Change • Organizations are moving and consolidating spatial data into relational databases to improve interoperability • Organizations are moving client/server mapping applications to the web and looking to web services for the future • Organizations are integrating spatial data analysis and map visualization into key business applications to improve decision making and service delivery

  21. Data Collection • One of most expensive GIS activities • Many diverse sources • Two broad types of collection • Data capture (direct collection) • Data transfer

  22. Data Collection Techniques

  23. Primary Data Capture • Capture specifically for GIS use • Raster – remote sensing • e.g. SPOT and IKONOS satellites and aerial photography • Passive and active sensors • Resolution is key consideration • Spatial • Spectral • Temporal

  24. Typical Reflectance Signatures

  25. Vector Primary Data Capture • Surveying • Locations of objects determines by angle and distance measurements from known locations • Uses expensive field equipment and crews • Most accurate method for large scale, small areas • GPS • Collection of satellites used to fix locations on Earth’s surface • Differential GPS used to improve accuracy

  26. Secondary Geographic Data Capture • Data collected for other purposes can be converted for use in GIS • Raster conversion • Scanning of maps, aerial photographs, documents, etc • Important scanning parameters are spatial and spectral (bit depth) resolution

  27. Vector Secondary Data Capture • Collection of vector objects from maps, photographs, plans, etc. • Digitizing • Manual (table) • Heads-up and vectorization • Photogrammetry – the science and technology of making measurements from photographs, etc. • COGO – Coordinate Geometry

  28. Data Transfer • Many widely distributed sources of GI • Key catalogs include • US NSDI Clearinghouse network • Geography Network • Access technologies • Translation • Direct read

  29. Federal Data Agencies • USGS • NOAA • Census Bureau • NIMA • EPA • many more...
