Study Notes
Geographic Data Representation in GIS
- GIS represents real-world spatial entities or events digitally.
- Data model selection depends on desired characteristics and abstractions.
- Chosen models translate into suitable structures for computer processing.
- Model choice affects how real-world complexities are depicted.
- Vector data models show objects with fixed location.
- Points represent locations (e.g., trees).
- Lines represent features with length (e.g., rivers).
- Polygons represent features with area (e.g., lakes, land).
- Attributes describe objects (e.g., land parcel type).
- Topology captures spatial relationships (e.g., river flows into lake).
- Use for features with clear boundaries (census tracts, roads).
- Raster data models represent a continuous field as a grid of cells.
- Each cell stores one attribute value (e.g., elevation, land cover).
- Uniform rectangular shape, fixed rows and columns.
- Spatial resolution affects detail.
- Used for areas like elevation maps, land cover, temperature.
- Image data models store electromagnetic reflectance.
- Pixels represent spectral reflectance intensities.
- Pixel properties include spatial coordinates and resolution.
- Values range from 0 to 255 per band.
- Used in remote sensing, photography, and digitization.
- Electromagnetic reflectance is stored; physical attributes are not stored directly.
