Attribute Data types
-

-
-
Joining attribute tables allows you to create a layer with an attribute table including both joined attribute tables.
-
Vocabulary
-
Feature (where) = spatial, location, coordinate
Attribute (what) = non-spatial, description
-
Datums
Datums are accurately determined points and associated measure and mathematical surfaces, which serve as references against which we measure all other location
-
-
Data Collection
-
Remote Sensing
Active
LiDAR
3D point cloud, very high resolution data
Passive
-
Satellite Imagery
Often Multispectral, can be used to make false color images

Compresion
-
Quad Trees
Digitizing = coordinates from a map, image, or other sources, converted into digital format in GIS
-
-
-
Vector vs. Raster
"Rasters are faster, but vectors are correcter"
Raster = surface =localized topology
=large data, computer intensive
-
Advantages for both, have to choose which is more appropriate for your data
-
-
ESRI's ArcGIS
-
Coordinate Systems
Earth's Shape
-
Sphere, this is what most Datums use
Authalic Sphere, when mapping 1:5,000,000
