  • o

  • OPeNDAP
    Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol
  • Operation
    Function/process performed.
  • Opponent Process
    Color vision theory that builds upon Trichromatic Theory, where there may be differences in the efficiency of detection towards particular wavelengths (e.g. delayed/lack of responses to a particular color/wavelength i.e. color blindness) and how information is received on the Cones in the eye.
  • Optimal Frequency Sampling
    Relating to the Nyquist-Shannon Theorem, it is a form of signal processing to extract values from waves.
  • Orbit Eccentricity
    Parameter for determining deviation of orbit from a perfect circle, where: 0 = Circular Orbit 0 - 1 = Elliptical Orbit 1 = Parabolic/Escape Orbit 1+ = Hyperbola Orbit
  • Orbital Biases
    Errors caused by orbits of satellites (i.e.variations gravity, drag, tidal forces from other planetary satellites, etc…).
  • Order
    Order in survey refers to the degree of precision and accurcacy achieved during survey, they are often the Standards to a survey.
  • Ordinal Data
    Type of Attribute, it is a measurement where data is ranked into hierarchies (comparative values to each other).
  • Ordinary Kriging
    Kriging method focusing on spatially correlated components, assumes the Mean is constant over the region.
  • Ordnance Datum
    Positional data given to a relational datum (i.e. Mean Sea Level) that has a high degree of precision and accuracy often used for control.
  • Orientation
    Relationship between directions and objects.
  • Orifices
    A opening for materials to pass.
  • Origin Table
    Base table for joining.
  • Original Survey
    Type of Cadastral Survey, used to establish boundary and demarcation on unsurveyed areas of land.
  • Orthographic Projection
    A form of parallel projection where it aims to represent 3D objects in 2D space, projection lines are orthogonal to projection plane.
  • Orthoimage
    An aerial photograph excludes the scale, tilt and relief distortions like other normal aerial photographs.
  • Orthometric Correction
    Orthometric correction aims to correct distortions issure and produce the orthoimage.
  • Orthometric Height
    See definition on Elevation.
  • Orthomorphic Projection
    See definition on Conformal Projection.
  • Orthophoto
    See description on Orthoimage.
  • Orthorectification
    The procedure to rectificate the aerial image from systematic sensor and platform-induced geometry errors, which introduce terrain distortions when the sensor is not pointing directly at the Nadir location of the sensor.
  • Oscillators
    Time measurement devices, time is kept according to the oscillation within atoms.
  • OTF Survey
    On-The-Fly Survey
  • Outages
    The period where DOP exceeds a maximum limit, and indication of unacceptable level of uncertainty existing at a particular location.
  • Outbound Run
    Where survey boat is moving away from the shoreline.
  • Outlier Detection
    Used to detect and remove the outlier from other normal observations.
  • Outliers
    An observation point which is distinct from other observations.
  • Outline
    Showing general understanding of concepts and basic ideas.
  • Outstanding
    It exceeds the intended subject learning outcomes in nearly all regards.
  • Overlap
    The portion of a map or chart that overlaps the area covered by another of the same series.
  • Overlay
    The replacement of a block of stored instructions or data with another
  • Overlay Methods
    Based on Boolean connectors, they are operations performed on input layers to produce a specific output. Type: 1) Union (A OR B) 2) Intersect (A AND B) 3) Difference (A XOR B) 4) Identity (A AND [B OR A])
  • Overshoot
    Digitizing error of an overextended arc.
  • OWL
    Web Ontology Language
  • Ownership
    Right of posession.
  • p

  • P Code
    Precise Code
  • Panchromatic Camera
    The camera consists of usual optics which focusses light on a CCD array and used to capture panchromatic images which are sensitive to all colors.
  • Panchromatic Film
    Standard type of film, the spectral sensitivity covers from UV to visible portions of the spectrum.
  • Pappus' Theorem
    Given three points a,b,c on a line, and three points A,B,C on another line, then three intersection points of the follow pair (aA,Bb),(Ab,cC),(bB,Ca) are collinear.
  • Parabolic Curve
    A two-dimensional and mirror-symmetrical curve.
  • Parallax
    Displacement or difference in the apparent relative position of an object caused by a change of viewing position.
  • Parent/Child
    A relationship in a hierarchical database, where each child can only have one parent but each parent can have multiple child.
  • Part-Spectral Sequence
    Sequence of particular colour with varying hues (e.g., black-brown-yellow-white).
  • Partial Sill
    Semivariance/Covariance model parameter representing the difference between Sill and Nugget.
  • Passive Detection
    Search of buried underground utilities without active involvement (generally via transmission signals) from the target (e.g. sweep and search).
  • Passive Sensors
    A sensing device designed to receive and measure signals transmitted by other sources.
  • Passive SONAR
    Listens to sound made by other objects to determine location/distances.

    Radio antenna with low profile, can be mounted on a flat surface.
  • Path Analysis
    Raster based analysis for finding the least cost of travelling between cells.
  • Path Length
    Distance passed by remote sensors.
