1006-450 - Raster Applications of GIS

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on raster data and surfaces, digital imagery, and the integration of raster geographic information systems (GIS) data and analyses with vector GIS. Topics will include vector-to-raster conversions; managing raster layers, attributes and databases; overlay analyses; neighborhood analyses; map algebra; surface modeling (2-D and 3-D); and basic remote sensing applications. Students will read and discuss case studies from a variety of disciplines using raster analyses, learn and apply similar tools and analyses in a series of lab experiments, and conduct an independent project based on lab exercises or a topic of their own interest. No prerequisite, but 1006-350 Applications of GIS is strongly recommended. Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (W)
