RS4111 Geographical Information System Laboratory Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES:

 To give practical exposure to the students to data input, data storage, data analyses and data output capabilities of a standard GIS software(proprietary and open softwares)
 It also adds skills in mapping techniques and map outputs.

1. Rectification and Spatial Referencing of Digital Map
2. Onscreen Digitization and Database Creation
3. Projection and Reprojection of spatial data
4. Data Conversion – Vector to Raster, Raster to Vector
5. Populating Attribute data base and querying on attribute data
6. Generation of DEM: from contours, spot heights, GRID and TIN, Isometric mapping
7. Vector Analysis – Buffering, Overlay and Network analysis
8. Raster Analysis – Measurement – Arithmetic overlaying, Logical overlaying, Class interval selection, choropleth maps
9. Map Output – Bar charts, Pie charts and symbols
10. Map compilation
11. Modelling spatial variability
12. Weighted theissen polygon and proximity analysis
13. Customisation and scripting
14. Mini Project :on the above relevant topics
