DEFENITION
Geoinformatics is the science and art of,
MEASURING
Storing
Analyzing
Visualizing
data related to phenomena occurring on
or near the earths surface.

For analyzing information related to earth ,

Geoinformatics combines,

Geospatial analysis
Modeling
Geospatial databases
Human computer interactions
Both wired and wireless networking
technologies.

BRANCHES OF GEOINFORMATICS
Geodesy
Remote
sensing

Cartography

Geoinformatics
Photogrammetr
y

GIS

GNSS

CARTOGRAPHY
Study and practice of making maps, combining
Sciences , aesthetics, and techniques.

Modern Cartography helps to overcome the

problems of conventional map designing
concerned with

Map projection
Generalizations
Map design.
Using Aerial photography , Satellite
imaginary , and Remote sensing.

Conventional World map

Satellite World map

GEODESY
Geodesy is the science of measurement
and representation of the earth, including
its gravitational field, in a 3D time varying
space.

Importance of Geodesy
The Earth is an irregular surface ,
difficult to model.
Accurate positions are required for a
wide variety of applications.

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
SYSTEM
It is a computer system
for
capturing ,
storing ,
checking and
displaying
data
related
to
positions on Earths
surface.

Global Navigation Satellite

System
A satellite navigation system is system that uses
satellite to provide autonomous geo -spatial
positioning.

PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Photogrammetry
is
the
technique
of
measuring
objects from photographs.
Helps in obtaining reliable
spatial information about
physical objects and the
environment through the
process
of
recording,
measuring and interpreting
image data.

REMOTE SENSING
Acquisition of information about
an object or phenomenon
without making physical contact
with the object and thus in
contrast to on site observation.
Using, aerial sensor technologies
to detect and classify objects on
Earth by means of propagated
signals.

APPLICATIONS OF
GEOINFORMATICS

APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURE
Effective management of Land resources through
Monitoring and management of soil and irrigation
Irrigated land scape mapping
Erosion identification and remediation
With the help of Agricultural mapping

APPLICATION IN
CRIMINOLOGY

In19th century criminologist became aware of

spatial patterns in criminal behaviour.

By mapping crime rates these studies provide a

series of important findings

Application GPS tracker device helps in

investigation and monitorig

APPLICATION IN CONSERVATION OF
BIODIVERSITY

Gap analysis mapping of sensitive species

habitats ad overlapping the protected areas

Helps in visualizing res of sensitive species that

are currently unprotected

APPLICATION IN
TELECOMMUNICATION

Tele communication provides are tied to to

geography more closely

GIS based tools have helps increasing the

efficiency of operations

APPLICATION IN DISASTER
MANAGEMENT

Geo-spatial data and socio-economic information

are needed for

Better decision making in handling a disaster

Tackling a disaster

Predicting disaster
