The ‘smart’ revolution. We are living in a generation where most common and important word is ‘smart’. From smart people to smart phones and from smart maps to smart cities everything is getting smarter. Geospatial technology is progressing by leaps and bounds towards this smartness. The technology itself is getting smarter and contributing in other… Continue reading Planimetric Mapping
Introduction An AMDB is a Geographic Information System (GIS) based representation describing the topography of an airport. The geometry of aerodrome features is modelled by points, lines and polygons. Additional information characterizing the features and their functions is stored as attributes. Examples of attributes are name or identifier, quality parameters and surface type. Vertical information,… Continue reading AMDB | An Integral Part of the Modern Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)
Pipeline Monitoring System and Surveillance Pipeline equipped with pumps, valves, and other devices to transfer liquids, gases, and slurries from one place to another. Pipeline monitoring systems and surveillance provide a technique to monitor the condition of a pipeline such as evaluation of corrosion, preservation of the environment, leakage detection, etc. Airborne Pipeline monitoring… Continue reading Pipeline monitoring and surveillance using Geospatial Approach
The three most frequently used geospatial features generated by mapping systems are digital elevation models (DEM), digital surface models (DSM), and digital terrain models (DTM). Because each model employs a different methodology, each data product provides a different elevation value. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) A digital elevation model is a bare-earth raster grid referenced to a vertical datum.… Continue reading Elevation Models in GIS Environment
In the year 2022, the surface temperature of the Earth was 1.55 Degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the average of 57 Degrees Fahrenheit (NOAA,2023). As the world warms, the frequency and intensity of climate change related disasters amplify, posing a significant risk. Heatwaves, Droughts, Hurricanes, and typhoons have caused havoc across every area, leaving no continent… Continue reading The Role of Remote Sensing in Tackling Crop Insurance Anomalies
No discussion about earth observation and Remote Sensing is complete without a mention of Landsat satellites. The Landsat program is the longest running endeavor for acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. On July 23, 1972 the Earth Resources Technology Satellite , eventually renamed to Landsat, was launched. The most recent, Landsat 7 with ETM+ on… Continue reading Landsat 8 to continue the legacy

“Epidemics on the other side of the world are a threat to us all. No epidemic is just local – Peter Piot” Introduction An epidemic is a disease that spreads rapidly among many people in a community at the same time. A pandemic is an outbreak of global proportions. It happens when a novel virus… Continue reading GIS and Remote Sensing: A Cutting Edge technology for Epidemiology
Introduction Disaster mapping is the drawing of areas that have been through excessive natural or man-made troubles to the normal environment where there is a loss of life, property, and national infrastructures. Remote sensing has a deep-rooted application in disaster mapping and management. Various disasters like earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and cyclones… Continue reading Disaster Management using Geospatial Technology
