Week 7-8 - Midterm Data Search



For Week 7-8 of GIS Lab, we've finally reached a bit over halfway in the class and this lab put all of us to the test and show what we've learned so far. Much of this lab was derived from the previous lanb which was Projection 2 with a combination of the very earlier lab. A county in Florida was assigned to everyone for the project and my county was Bay County, FL  We had to construct 1-3 maps with vector data layers, environmental layers, DOQQs, and a DEM to make some type of sense to the viewer. Along with that, we had to make sure all the layer were in same projection which is very important for accuracy and good practice. The maps above showcased them required layers. One map showcases the roads, rivers, State Parks, and cities of Bay County. Another shows a DEM perspective of Bay County and the last map shows the invasive plants and land cover in Bay County with a DOQQ quarter quad of Panama City.

GIS 4035L: Lab 4 - Spatial Enhancement

Image
 For Lab 4, Spatial Enhancement, we looked into learning how to work with Landsat 4-5 data form the official Glovis website and use ERDAS and ArcGIS Pro to run spatial enhancement tools on different image. The first and second exercise involved learning how to download and format data from the Glovis website. The third exercise involves using and manipulating image histograms for the LandSat data. The fourth and fifth exercise includes the use of Spatial Characteristics and Band Ratios to alter the band layers to make certain features pop out more than others. The sixth exercise involved examining the layer information of the image layers while the seventh exercise involved tying in all the exercises to now independently identify features with what was learned. Below shows 3 different maps showing a large river, lake, and snow cover features identified with spatial enhancement.

Week 12 - Georeferencing

Image
For week 12 of GIS lab and final week before the final project, we took a look and Georeferencing and Lidar. We use georeferencing to make control points and try to match the buildings with the aerial raster photos to get them as accurate as possible. With that we took the location of an eagle's nest and made a multi buffer layer with an given scenario. Also, we created a 3D elevation model with the use of Lidar data which was coverted to a DEM. The skills performed in this lab will be put to use in the final project. Not only will they be used in the final but even down the road as I build on my GIS knowledge. The maps above showase the use of georeferencing and Lidar data.
