Objective: 

To provide exposure to data models and data structures in GIS and to introduce various Raster and Vector Analysis capabilities. To expose the concept of quality and design of cartographic outputs in open GIS environment. To understand the working of Total Station and GPS equipment and solve the surveying problems.

Course Outcomes: 
  • CO37: Arrange and manage the remote sensing Data.
  • CO38: Identify the errors is Global positioning system.
  • CO39: Analysis of the spatial data, it’s overlaying, and interpolation methods including network and suitability analysis.
  • CO40: Depict the coordinates using GPS and familiarise with GPS receivers
  • CO41: Interpret the use of single and Relative point receivers for collection of ground points.
  • CO42: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
