Geomatics Engineering
• Geomatics engineering is an information technology discipline that deals
with the acquisition, modelling, analysis and management of spatial data.
• Application
• GIS (Analyst, Developer) and cartography
• Remote Sensing and photogrammetry
• Urban planning, Market analysis (Smart city Concept)
• Land Management, Planning
• Emergency Preparedness
• Hydrological Modelling
• Survey (Professional land surveyors, 3D scanning, software, and drone technology to measure, map, and
establish official boundaries in land, waterways, and airspace, Lidar Survey)
• Geodesy
Spatial Data
• Spatial data or
Geospatial data refers
to the data that have
a geographic
component to them,
i.e. data with the
Geographic
coordinate or
information.
Geographic Information System
• Geographic information systems(GIS) are
typically software where geographic
information are stored in layers in order to
derive spatial data insights can be created by
manipulating, analyzing and Visualizing these.
• Example:- ArcGIS is a GIS software where
Spatial data from the different sources are
stored in geodatabases/ Folders, read in and
analyzed using geoprocessing technique or
algorithm.
Components of GIS
• Hardware
 Satellite constellation, surveying instruments, computers, data storage
• Software
 Open source, Licensed
• Data
 Raster, Vector,
• Methods/Procedure
 Router finder, overlaying
• People
 Users, developers
Data
Coordinate System
Geographic Coordinate System
 A geographic position on the earth is defined by latitude from equator and longitude from a prime
meridian. (WGS 84)
Projected Coordinate System
 Project the earth 3D curved surface to a 2D flat surface.
