Aerial Photographs
Raster Data
satellite images
scanned aerial photographs
Vector Data
Land survey points
GPS observation data
Scanning
Most commonly used method when
raster data is required
Accuracy depends on the scanner
quality (resolution), quality of the
image processing software used to
process the scanned data, and
quality/complexity of source
document
Manual Digitizing
Most common method of encoding
geographic features from paper
maps to vector GIS
Used when topology of features is
important
May be used for extraction of spatial
features from maps and aerial
photos
Uses a Table Digitizer which is
linked to a computer
Digital Geographic Data
A raster-based
representation of
surface
Advantages:
Easy to create and store
Can be retrieved and rendered on screen very
quickly
Simple (Spaghetti) Data Model
Disadvantages:
Spatial analysis (eg. Shortest path network analysis)
cannot be performed easily due to lack of any connectivity
relationships
Redundant since the boundary segment between two
polygons can be stored twice (once for each feature)
Inflexible since it is difficult to dissolve common boundaries
when joining polygons
Cannot be used in certain applications such as land
management because of overlapping features
Topological Data Model
Disadvantages:
Do not provide precise locational and area computation
information due to grid cells
Requires large storage capacity, based on size and
number of colors
No topological processing
Disadvantages:
Complex data structure
