1 Module 3 Introduction to GIS Lecture 7 GIS data
2 What do we know about GIS so far It allows to work with geospatial data to solve spatial problems (to know where it is, what happens somewhere and what changes integration and spatial analysis) It can be used for many different applications provided geospatial data exist, presented with the correct coordinate system It needs at least 5 components to work properly (Hardware, Software, Data, Procedures, People) not only software! Many GIS software available (open-source source code is freely available to view, edit, and redistribute) All GIS software provide basic GIS tools: projection transformation, spatial analysis; surface creation; data management; selection and extraction operations. With any GIS software we can visualize the data and create maps
3 What can we do with GIS Quick and easy access to large volumes of data Search and select data and information Link or merge one dataset with another (integration of spatial and non-spatial data) Update data quickly and cheaply Spatial analysis (with existing data) and modelling (creating new data and information) Generate outputs (maps and tables)
4 GIS data model A simplified representation of the real-world
5 GIS data model GIS data model is a simplified view of the real world. A data model defines how spatial features are represented and stored in GIS. We can visualize this data model as a set of layers that represent each real world feature (data model organizes and stores geospatial data). Each layer overlays perfectly on top of each other so that every location is precisely matched.
6 GIS data model for each application, different thematic layers
7 Different thematic layers displayed in GIS software
8 Is the geographic world a jig-saw puzzle of polygons or a club-sandwich of data layers? (Couclelis, 1992) The real-world geographic space can be perceived as being occupied by entities or as a field representing a continuous variation of an attribute. Entities (objects, discrete data) are described by their attributes and its position can be mapped using a coordinate system. Entity Defining and recognizing the entity (a house? a river? a forest?) is the first step, listing its attributes, defining its boundaries and its location is the second.
9 GIS data model (applied to entities/objects) Real-world Simplification Database (Attributes) Model Geospatial data acquisition Location Type of representation Classification (what it is?) ID X Y Name Data Model Map
10 for the mindless mechanical eye everything in the world is just another array of pixels (Couclelis, 1992) Fields are described by the smooth and continuous variation of attributes over a space with continuous coordinates. Fields are created by modelling continuous data. Field
11 GIS data models Two GIS data models: VECTOR more appropriate for mapping discrete geographic entities RASTER most appropriate for modelling continuous geographic phenomena
12 GIS data models choice There are many possible views for the same reality depending on the abilities and preferences of the GIS user. Switzerland example (Burrough & McDonell, 1998): Should Switzerland be recognized as a land of individual mountain entities (vector) or as a land in which the attribute elevation demonstrates extreme variation (raster)?
13 GIS data models choice Opting for an entity approach to mountain peaks will provide an excellent basis for a system that records who climbed the mountain and when but it will not provide information for computing slopes for its sides. Choosing a continuous representation allows the calculation of slopes but does not gives names for the peaks.
14 GIS data models choice The decision will be based on the aim to be achieved and the database needed. The choice of the conceptual model determines how information can later be derived. It depends on the scientific or technical discipline of the user Heywood, Cornelius & Carver,
15 GIS database Attribute table
16 GIS data model storage database / attribute table GIS data model = spatial data (geometry, location) + non-spatial data (attribute) A GIS database compiles attribute data and stores it in tables, organized by rows and columns. Each row represents a spatial feature (normally with an ID), each column describes a characteristic. A row is also called a record and a column is also called a field. Attribute tables are different for vector and raster.
17 Database / attribute table Attributes are inserted and displayed as tables. The type of attribute data provided for a spatial feature can determine the utility of datasets in GIS analysis - the scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio) used to record attribute data is important Nominal and ordinal data are introduce as character strings and are used as categorical data in GIS operations ( soil types or levels of soil erosion). Interval and ratio data will be introduced as integers or float (if decimal digits are included)
18 Database / attribute table Attribute tables are also used for a number of GIS operations. Attribute tables are often joined or related to spatial data layers, and the attribute values they contain can be used to find, query, and symbolize features (vector) or raster cells. It is possible to have attribute tables that are not linked to spatial features GIS software a database management system to relate the non-spatial attributes with the spatial data.
19 Queries - GIS analysis based on the database/attribute table Queries are questions that you ask of the data (related to the data model and geospatial data used) Queries can be spatial or aspatial, e.g. Where have major traffic accidents occurred in the last five years? (spatial), What percentage of traffic accidents involved alcohol? (aspatial). Basic queries using the Identify tool in GIS. Advanced queries using Query Builder in GIS to build queries to select only features that satisfy some criteria (using basic maths operators or Boolean operators).
20 Spatial analysis using GIS database Queries
21 Basic Query Identify tool The result of clicking on a feature using the Identify tool: The fields are the attributes of the record in this particular layer
22 Advanced Query Query Builder tool
23 Advanced Query Query Builder tool The basic operators in a query are =, <>, <, >,,, like. Equal to (=), not equal to (<>) ( CNTRY_NAME = Australia ) Less than (<), less than or equal to ( ) ( POP2005 < ) Greater than (>), greater than or equal to ( ) ( SQKM > ) Like Begins with or contains, used in conjunction with * wildcard ( CNTRY_NAME like Al* - Selects Algeria, Albania Queries examples Show all polygons where soil type is silty loam Show all census districts where population is less than 1000 Find all locations where elevation is less than or equal to 100m and annual rainfall is between 1200 and 1800mm
24 Advanced Query Query Builder tool The Boolean operators are and, or, not - used to create compound queries. AND all criteria must be satisfied ( POP AND SQKM ) OR at least one criteria must be satisfied ( STATUS = National capital OR STATUS = Provincial capital ) NOT negation (NAME = Mexico AND NOT STATUS = City includes results contains: New Mexico; the nation of Mexico but does not return Mexico City)
25 Advanced Query Query Builder tool Combine operators to make complex queries: (CNTRY_NAME = Australia OR CNTRY_NAME = New Zealand ) AND CITY_NAME like A* ) The syntax of the queries is important (how the query is written). In different GIS software the syntax will probably be slightly different. The results of the query can be visualized in the layer view. Results of query: Cities in NSW with population >= 20,000 shown in green
26 GIS Vector Geometry, location, attribute table
27 Vector data model The vector data model represents space as a series of discrete entity-defined point, line and polygons which are geographically referenced. Besides geometry and location, an attribute table is also associated with each vector feature. Vector data is scale-dependent and the user must take this into consideration when choosing the appropriate entity (point, line or polygon) to represent a feature. For example, a city on a 1: map may appear as a point but the same city may appear as a polygon on a 1: map. But if it was not defined as a polygon initially the scale might change but the representation would always be a point (maybe, in this case, a huge point on a map).
28 Vector entity: Point Points are stored as a pair of x-y coordinates. An attribute table containing point information only needs three columns namely x, y and a description. A point can be used to represent features such as a power pole, a tree, a sample location or a town. GPS locations can be imported to GIS as points.
29 Vector entity: Line A line has at least two points joined by a line. A line has length and a direction from start node to end node. The shape of a line may be a smooth curve or a connection of straight-line segments with vertices. A polyline is a feature made of lines. Lines can be used to represent features such as a river, a road, a fence line or a contour. Most GIS software have an editing toolbox that allows the user to create line features. This is useful when digitizing maps to create lines.
30 Vector entity: Polygon A polygon is a two-dimensional feature and has the properties of area such as size and perimeter, in addition to location. A polygon can be used to represent features such as a lake, a building, a soil class, a local government area or a state boundary. Polygon features can also be created using the editing toolbox.
31 Vector entities: Point, Line and Polygon ml&ei=vthfvz_lbotcmwxso4dqaw&bvm=bv ,d.dgy&psig=afqjcngqls0zkngotwdahg9y97qlcsysxa&ust=
32 Vector data requires Topology Topology is the arrangement that defines how point, line, and polygon features share coincident geometry. For example, adjacent polygons representing states share their common boundaries. Topology ensures data quality and integrity (for example, enables detection of lines that do not meet correctly). Topology can enhance GIS analysis (because it defines correctly the position and direction of features). Topology rules: Counties must not overlap; Countour lines must not intersect; Label points must be inside polygons.
33 Applications using vector Use vector data maps as topographic maps (to locate feature). Use vector data for spatial analysis (buffer, proximity, overlay ) to generate new data. Vector data is the base for network analysis (plan routes, calculate drivetimes, locate facilities, least-cost path from a destination point to the nearest least-cost source).
34 Composite vector data: TIN Composite features are built on points, lines and polygons such as the triangulated irregular network (TIN) which approximates the terrain (surface) with a set of non-overlapping triangles based on an irregular network of elevation points (from GPS, LIDAR, surveys, DEM) Because nodes can be placed irregularly over a surface, TINs can have a higher resolution in areas where a surface is highly variable or where more detail is desired and a lower resolution in areas that are less variable. TIN s are used to create Digital Terrain Models for GIS terrain mapping and analysis.
35 GIS Raster Grid, cells, resolution
36 Raster data model Raster data is made up of regular cells coloured according to some value. A raster is a two-dimensional grid where the basic unit is a cell. The resolution of a raster is determined by the grid cell size. Each cell represents a continuous feature (such as elevation and precipitation) and corresponds to the value of the spatial phenomenon at the cell location.
37 Raster Cells must be aligned to the coordinate system Cell start locations can not be offset Grid is not normally at an angle Cell is also called a pixel The resolution of the raster is dependent on the size of the cell. The finer the cell resolution and the greater the number of cells that represent small areas, the more accurate the representation.
38 Raster values Depending on the coding of each cell value, a raster can be either an integer or a floating-point raster(if presented with decimal digits). Integer cell values usually represent categorical data. A common example is the land cover raster that codes land use as 1 forest, 2 agricultural, 3 water. Floating point cell data represents continuous numeric data. Cells can also have a NoData value to represent the absence of data.
39 Raster attribute table The attribute table displays the cell values (corresponding to the value of a continuous feature at the cell location) and their frequencies (counts).
40 Applications using Raster Raster as basemaps Remote sensing (satellite) images, aerial photographs, scanned maps can be used as a background display for other feature layers. For example, we can create a the boundary of a lake as a polygon using its displayed image in a basemap.
41 Applications using Raster Raster as surface maps Rasters is used as regularly spaced representation of surfaces. Elevation values measured from the earth's surface are the most common application of surface maps, but other values, such as rainfall, temperature, concentration, and population density, can also define surfaces that can be spatially analyzed. A DEM (Digital Elevation Model) is very used as raster data in GIS digital terrain mapping and analysis. It represents a regular array of elevation points converted into surfaces (each elevation point is the center of a cell).
42 Applications using Raster Raster as thematic maps Rasters representing thematic data can be derived from analyzing other data. A common analysis application is classifying a satellite image by land-cover categories. Thematic maps can also result from geoprocessing to create a raster dataset that maps suitability for a specific activity. Satellite image Land use raster map
43 Vector vs Raster
44 Raster is faster, but vector is corrector (Berry, 1995) Vector Can represent point, line and polygon features much more accurately Require less disk storage space Complex data structure (topology) High quality outputs Enables network design Complex database Raster Spatial inaccuracies due to the limits imposed by the raster dataset cell dimensions Depending on the resolution, large size files requiring more disk storage space Simple data structure Easy to manipulate for analysis Great diversity of raster data sources
45 Vector Raster conversion
46 Conversion between models Depending on the GIS operation to perform it might be necessary to convert vector into raster and vice-versa. Rasterization (converts vector to raster) Vectorization (converts raster to vector). Giscommons.org
47 Rasterization A grid is placed over the vector and if the cell contains the underlying vector then it is coded as such. With polygons: difficult to decide whether to classify the boundary cells as part of the polygon or not.
48 Vectorization Raster to vector requires thinning (to provide width to the line), extraction (determining where individual lines begin and end) and topological reconstruction (to connect lines and find errors). Converting from raster to vector is will almost always result in a coarser vector with square edges, depending on the resolution of the raster. Chang, 2014
