Collecting geospatial data involves the gathering of information related to the Earth's surface, often including location coordinates, attributes, and other relevant details.
Satellite Imagery:
Geospatial data can be collected using satellite imagery, providing a broad and comprehensive view of landscapes, land cover, and changes over time.
Aerial Photography:
Aerial photography, captured from aircraft, offers high-resolution images for detailed mapping and analysis of specific areas or features.
Global Positioning System (GPS):
GPS technology enables precise location data collection, allowing for accurate mapping and navigation through satellite-based positioning.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging):
LiDAR technology uses laser pulses to measure distances, creating detailed three-dimensional maps that are valuable for terrain modeling and urban planning.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs):
UAVs, commonly known as drones, are equipped with sensors to capture geospatial data from various altitudes, offering flexibility in data collection.
Mobile Mapping Systems:
Mobile mapping systems use vehicles equipped with sensors, cameras, and LiDAR to collect geospatial data while moving, often used for road mapping and infrastructure monitoring.
Geographic Information System (GIS):
GIS platforms facilitate the collection of geospatial data by integrating various sources and allowing users to input, organize, and analyze spatial information.
Field Surveys:
Field surveys involve on-site data collection using handheld devices or traditional methods, providing ground-truth data for accuracy verification.
Our Smartphone Applications:
Mobile apps with GPS capabilities enable users to collect geospatial data on the go, contributing to location-based services, navigation, and mapping.
