  • Slivers
    Small polygons between shared boundary of layers in overlay.
  • SLR
    Satellite Laser Ranging
  • Smart Cities
    Cities that integrate digital technologies to improve overall health of city (e.g. inhabitant's wellbeing, management of resource consumptions).
  • Smoothing
    Map Generalization technique, to even out (smooth) data/lines/symbols to present it in a more appealing format.
  • Smoothing Algorithm
    A kind of algorithm used to capture important pattern in the data by leaving the noise.
  • Snap
    Where features are moved to match/coincide with another feature.
  • Snell's Law
    Where angle of Incidence equals to angle of refraction.
