Program design based on functions of the program and its interaction with the centralized shared memory.

The middle level of understanding, where base knowledge (e.g. basic concepts, components and functions) should be mastered.

A logic form of many-valued logic which deals with reasoning that is approximate rather than fixed and exact

A classsification approach aims to deal with the mixed-pixel problem by applying the fuzzy logic concept.

Collection of elements defined by degree of membership, grading members on a continuous scale that members can have partial and/or uncertainty in their membership.

Elements in the sets have degrees of membership.

Distance tolerance between vertices, vertices within fuzzy tolerance are merged to a single common location.

Test of goodness, likelihood of statistical significance, measure of variation of data from an ideal prediction.

Process of amplifying signal to match range of display.

A multi-level program across state,region and nataion built to offer geographic data and other infamation about natural vegetation,distribution of native vertebrate species and land ownership.

Vectorization setting on GIS software, detemines the number of pixels that can be jumped over in a raster.

A continuous probability distribution presents the probability that any real observation will fall between any two real limits or real numbers, as the curve approaches zero on either side.

An algorithm used to solve systems of linear equations

Geographical dictionary, containing list of geographical names and terms, used with a map.

Geometric/General Dilution of Precision

Map with the objective of showing locations (points of interests) and features (e.g., roads, coastlines, water bodies, etc…), map without a specific purpose.

Study of Systems in general, attempt to describe/model the real world phenomena into a set of structured processes and networks.

Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit

Description of population according to location (spatial information), analysis of demographic data by spatial attributes.

Earth-centered coordinate system defined as Cartesian (X, Y, Z).

Latitude with center of Earth as reference.

Orbits of Satellites (natural and man-made) around the Earth, classifcations of orbits can be by: Altitude, Inclination, Eccentricity, Direction, and Geosynchronous.

Assigning additional positional information (e.g., address) to a location/feature, enriching the description of a location.

Application of IT to spatial problems (e.g., collection, storage, visualization, modelling of spatial data).

Science of measuring and understanding of Earth's geometry and geometric shapes, orientation in space and positioning of points on its surface.

A network of pre-established points that are physically marked and are precisely located and documented, they form a base to which coordinates can reference into.

A set of reference points used for positioning as defined by WGS84.

See defintion on Ellipsoidal Height.

See definition on Latitude.

Branch of surveying of the highest order to establish position using various means (e.g. GPS).

Often using Latitude, Longitude and Elevation as units, it is a system to enable positioning and locating points on Earth's surface by a set of values.

An occurance observed in nature (e.g., trees, hills, rivers, etc…).

Geographically weighted regression is a local modelling technique used to generates parameters disaggregated by the spatial units of analysis.

A model of global mean sea level,used to measure precise surface elevations.

The distance between the mean sea leavel and the heitht provided by WGS84 coordinate system, which used the ellipsoid as reference.

Difference between Geodetic Height and Orthometric Height.
