What is Map Projection? In cartography, the flat, 2D representation of globe in order to make a map is map projection. When a spherical object is flattened, its alignment will definitely get distorted. But, map projections help us in obtaining the earth’s map systematically. There are multiple ways to project the surface of Earth. To […]

Essentials of LiDAR Point Cloud Processing Using Python
Lidar remote sensing data is a point type data which contains the X, Y, Z coordinates along with its other features like return number, classification code, etc. Lidar data is stored in different formats like .las, .laz, .pts, .xyz etc. One of the frequently used format is LAS format. Refer to the document having details […]
Application of GIS in Subsurface and Surface Water Analysis
Geographical Information System (GIS) proves to be an important tool in the study of Hydrology. In the era of climate change, we cannot depend on conventional methods of survey, hence we need some exclusive techniques and GIS is one of them. Watershed is to be analyzed and decision-makers can make better choices when it is […]

Why Digital Elevation Models (DEM) Are So Famous In Geospatial Technology?
What is Digital Elevation Model (DEM)? Digital elevation model gives digital representation of a topographic surface. A digital elevation model is a raster grid of bare-earth referenced to a vertical datum. At the point when you sift through non-ground focuses, for example, extensions and streets, you get a smooth advanced height model. The fabricated (electrical […]
The Secret Behind COVID-19 Mapping Using Geospatial Applications
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a kind of common virus that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses, or upper throat. And it becomes difficult to breathe. It spreads through the droplets and might infect another person, if there is a physical contact with the minute droplets. The first COVID-19 case appeared in China in December 30, […]
Multispectral Satellite Imagery: Processing Using Python
Earth observation satellites collect data using two methods, passive and active. Passive sensors use the sun as an illumination source. Sun’s energy is either reflected, absorbed or re-emitted. The electromagnetic radiation which is reflected or emitted from the earth’s surface is recorded by passive sensors. Examples include multispectral and hyperspectral sensors. On the other hand, […]
