Course Objective:

• Hands on experience of basics of cartography and GIS.
• Designing the map
• Development of GIS database and populating attributes data

Exercises:

1. Simple conical, cylindrical and planner projection for a reduced earth (2 to 4cm reduced earth) – aspect and secant demo.
2. Graded symbolization and isopleth / choropleth map
3. Map compilation and Design
4. Data Input – Onscreen Digitisation – Creation of Point, Line and Polygon layers
5. Projection, Reprojection and Coordinate Transformation of Maps
6. Attribute data input and Measurement of Distance, Area
7. Linking External Database and Tabular Data Analysis using SQL commands
8. Generating Graphs, Charts and Diagrams from Tabular data
9. Data Conversion – Vector to Raster and Raster to Vector
10. Map Joining, Edge Matching and Layout Design

Course Outcome:

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to

1. To understand the concepts of Projection.
2. To input the data in the computer and prepare the Map Layout Design process.
3. To study the different types of projection properties by comparing the Distance, Area parameters and Attribute Data Input.
4. To add Non- Spatial data from External Database and Analyze the data using SQL commands.
5. To convert the Vector to Raster Data and vice versa and Edge Matching process.
