Desktop GIS Part 1 - Intermediate Spatial Analysis
(Academic)
The true power of a GIS is realized not in presentation or visualization, but in its ability to detect and quantify variation of phenomena across geographic space and identify spatial relationships between datasets. Accordingly, this course will review vector and raster analysis methods in GIS. Vector analyses such as proximity, logical operators, spatial joins, and generalization may be discussed. Raster analyses such as raster math, neighborhood / zonal statistics, and terrain-specific algorithms may be discussed. In addition to the vector and raster analysis methodologies, methods and issues associated with vector to raster conversion will be discussed.
This short course is being presented in collaboration with Virginia Tech Geospatial Information Sciences. http://www.gis.vt.edu/ More information...
