Exercises

Aerial photo interpretation

  •  Understanding the fundamentals of Aerial Photographs like principle points, isocentre, Fiducail points,  number of runs and number of photographs
  •  Identification of objects and features; Interpretation Keys and Image interpretation of Remote Sensing data, Identification of cultural and physical features on the image.

Techniques of  mapping using RS  or GIS Software by using following stages

  • GIS: Geo-referencing:on-screen digitization of polygons, points and lines,  Editing, adding attributes
  • Tabulation  of the  map related data, Integration of Spatial and Non Spatial data and Query making and Finalization of Map
