ArcGIS - Introduction to Geographic Information Systems - Chapter 4 - Raster Data Model

Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, 5e is designed to provide students in a first or second GIS course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use of GIS. Introduction to GIS strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts and hands-on applications. The main portion of the chapter presents GIS terms and concepts and helps students learn how each one fits into a complete GIS system. At the end of each chapter, an application section with 2-7 tasks presents students with actual GIS exercises and the necessary data to solve the problem.

Key features

This edition has combined georelational and object-based vector data models into one chapter. A couple of years ago the majority of GIS users were still using georelational vector data such as shapefiles. But now many have turned to object-based vector data such as the geodatabase. Therefore it makes sense to combine these two data models into a chapter and simply call the chapter vector data model.

New and updated information on:
Joins, relates, and relationship classes (Chapter 8)
Cartographic representation (Chapter 9)
Point pattern analysis (Chapter 11)
Viewshed analysis (Chapter 14) v Geocoding (Chapter 15)
