GRB

Data infrastructure implementation framework for geographical (spatial) data, metadata, user and tools.

Metadata category, information about representation and structure of dataset (e.g., raster, vector).

Neutral Format for transfer of spatial data, uses 'profiles' to transfer data. Type: 1) Topological Vector Profile (TVP) 2) Raster Profile and Extensions (RPE) 3) Transportation Network Profile (TNP) 4) Point Profile 5) Computer Aided Design and Drafting Profile (CADD)

Spatial relationship between variables, where values are dependent on the location/postion.

Factors which cause the same types of features at a known point in time to create various characteristics at different geographic locations.

Generally refers to spatial objects' instantaneous geometric feature and relationship.

A tool used to mphasize or deemphasize image data of different spatial frequencies.

An image operation using a function of the intensities of pixels in a neighbor to change each pixel value I(u,v).

The roughness of the tonal variations in the image.

Refers to the uneven distribution of different concentrations of each species in a specific area.

An operation where fields from a particular layer's attribute table are appended (added) onto another layer's attribute table

A special type of database query operation provided by geospatial databases.

See definition on Georeferencing.

Metadata category, information about frame of reference for dataset (e.g., coordinate system, projection, map parameters, etc…).

Refers to the situation that an object is located in space related to other reference objects.

The size of smallest object can be detected.

Collection of a limited set of data that measures a particular phenomena that can be used to predict the same phenomena at another geographical location with similar characteristics.

Indicates the trend or correlation of phenomena and objects by the consideration of spatio as well as temporal factors.

The phenomena happened simultaneously because of spatiao and temporal reasons.

State Plane Coordinate System

Clusters of data of similar reflectance value.

Enhanced iamge resulting from the division of DN values in two spectral band.

The way which objects can reflect and/or absorb radiation.

A graph of the spectral reflectance of an object as a function of wavelength.

The relative efficiency of detection of radiation as a function of frequency or wavelength.

A pattern which is absolute and unique of an objectand measured by remote sensors

A perfectly round geometrical and circular object in three-dimensional space which is like a completely round ball.

Defects caused be the lens in telescope preventing the focusing of light rays.

Coordinate system for 3D space specified by three numbers: radial distance from point of origin, polar angle measured from zenith, azimuth angle at orthogonal projection (r, θ, ϕ).

Measure of 3D precision.

Used to provide a gradual change in curvature and superelevation between tangent and curved section.

Polynomial function to approximate smooth curve.

Text string aligned with line feature.

GIS operation to divide the input layer into multiple layers.

A single route subdividing into multiple routes.

System Pour d'Observation de la Terre

Height/altitude of a point as shown on a map.

A signal that has been deliberately spread over a bad wider than than the minimum requried for carrying information, it gives higher resistance to signal jamming and multipath.

Where loss can be an effect of the nature of the target, that energy loss is an effect of wave spread.

Tide that occurs in New and Full Moon, resulting in a higher tide.

Standard Positioning Service

Radio navigation system based on Earth-orbiting satellite.

Structured Query Language

The settlement of the boat into a lower profile in the water as it increase its velocity, can cause error in depth measurement.

Test to determine the relationship between boat speed and transducer height.

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology

Soft Systems Methodology

Marks set at a specific distant apart (Stadia Constant) on the telescope.

Parties/People with vested interest in the project/location.

A measure used to quantify the amount of variation or distribution of a set of data values.
