Geographic Information Systems 1900-3-SIG-KT
The lecture topics (GIS) include the following issues: data models and structures, coordinate space definitions, spatial data operations (concepts of map algebra, automation of GIS functions, methods of surface representation), introduction to databases, structured query language, decision support issues, concept of GIS planning process, directions and perspectives of GIS development.
Computer labs are devoted to practical uses acquired during lectures knowledge on geographic information systems and understanding the structure of programs to create these systems, and the practical use GIS software packages for processing spatial data and spatial analysis and visualization the results. An integral part of the exercise is the realization of an individual project including acquisition, processing and visualization of spatial data .
