- Interruption of ProjectionWhere parts of the projection are repeated (e.g., Homolosine Projection).
- IntersectOverlay method to identify area that falls within the identified criteria (A AND B).
- IntersectionOpposite of Resection, it is the method of determining position of an unknown point by fixing its relative position from two or more known points.
- Interval DataType of Attribute that ranks data according to an arbitrarily assigned starting point, which indicates distances (comparative values) between different classes.
- IntervalometerA device counts intervals of time.
- IntranetClosed network using Internet Protocol.
- Inverse MatrixIn linear algebra, if an n*n square matrix B can be expressed by an invertible n*n square matrix A with the following expression: AB=BA=In , then the matrix B is the inverse of A.
- Inverse TransformationA transformation T: X → Y is invertible if there is a transformation S: Y → X satisfying ST = idX, and TS = idY.
- Inverse Trigonometric FunctionsInverse functions of trigonometric functions. Type: 1) Arcsine (arcsin) 2) Arccosine (arccos) 3) Arctangent (arctan) 4) Arccotangent (arccot) 5) Arcsecant (arcsec) 6) Arccosecant (arccsc)

- IonosphereA layer of Earth's atmosphere with high concentration of ions and free electrons, it is able to reflect radio waves.
- Ionospheric BiasesErrors in data caused when signals enter Ionosphere, Ionospheric Delay is main cause of error.
- Ionospheric DelayChange in speed of signal when it enters the Ionosphere, it is dependent on the frequency of the signal and the composition of the atmosphere (e.g. TEC).
- Ionospheric EffectResults in error in GPS positioning, where the atmosphere diffracts and refracts GPS signals.
