  1. GIS Data Capture:Getting the Map into the Computersome background and extra material in Chapter 9, Longley et al

  2. Overview • Introduction • Primary data capture • Secondary data capture • Data transfer • Capturing attribute data • Managing a data capture project • Error and accuracy

  3. Data Collection • Can be most expensive GIS activity • Many diverse sources • Two broad types of collection • Data capture (direct collection) • Data transfer • Two broad capture methods • Primary (direct measurement) • Secondary (indirect derivation)

  4. Data Collection Techniques

  5. Haiti Earthquake DisasterWeb Site of the Week

  6. Preparation Evaluation Planning Collection / Transfer Editing / Improvement Stages in Data Collection Projects

  7. Primary Data Capture • Capture specifically for GIS use • Raster – remote sensing • e.g., SPOT and IKONOS satellites and aerial photography, echosounding at sea • Passive and active sensors • Resolution is key consideration • Spatial • Spectral, Acoustic • Temporal

  8. Vector Primary Data Capture • Surveying • Locations of objects determines by angle and distance measurements from known locations • Uses expensive field equipment and crews • Most accurate method for large scale, small areas • GPS • Collection of satellites used to fix actual locations on Earth’s surface • Differential GPS used to improve accuracy

  17. Google Maps Mania Blog Societal Issues(privacy, surveillance, ethics)e.g., Google StreetView Early and late May 2008

  18. More surveillance (electronic, video, biological, chemical) integrated into national system From Chris Peterson, Foresight Institute As presented at OSCON 2008, Portland

  20. Sewer monitoring has begun “The test doesn’t screen people directly but instead seeks out evidence of illicit drug abuse in drug residues and metabolites excreted in urine and flushed toward municipal sewage treatment plants.” From Chris Peterson, Foresight Institute As presented at OSCON 2008, Portland

  21. Secondary Geographic Data Capture • Data collected for other purposes, then converted for use in GIS • Raster conversion • Scanning of maps, aerial photographs, documents, etc. • Important scanning parameters are spatial and spectral (bit depth) resolution

  22. Scanner

  23. Vector Secondary Data Capture • Collection of vector objects from maps, photographs, plans, etc. • Photogrammetry – the science and technology of making measurements from photographs, etc. • Digitizing • Manual (table) • Heads-up and vectorization

  24. Digitizer

  25. GEOCODING • spatial information ---> digital form • capturing the map (digitizing, scanning) • sometimes also capturing the attributes • “mapematical” calculation, e.g., • address matching WSW

  26. Managing Data Capture Projects • Key principles • Clear plan, adequate resources, appropriate funding, and sufficient time • Fundamental tradeoff between • Quality, speed and price • Two strategies • Incremental • ‘Blitzkrieg’ (all at once) • Alternative resource options • In house • Specialist external agency

  27. The Role of Error • Map and attribute data errors are the data producer's responsibility, • GIS user must understand error. • Accuracy and precision of map and attribute data in a GIS affect all other operations, especially when maps are compared across scales.

  28. Accuracy • closeness to TRUE values • results, computations, or estimates • compromise on “infinite complexity” • generalization of the real world • difficult to identify a TRUE value • e.g., accuracy of a contour • Does not exist in real world • Compare to other sources

  29. Accuracy (cont.) • accuracy of the database = accuracy of the products computed from database • e.g., accuracy of a slope, aspect, or watershed computed from a DEM

  30. Positional Accuracy • typical UTM coordinate pair might be: • Easting 579124.349 m • Northing 5194732.247 m • If the database was digitized from a 1:24,000 map sheet, the last four digits in each coordinate (units, tenths, hundredths, thousandths) would be questionable

  31. Map scale Ground distance corresponding to 0.5 mm map distance 1:1250 62.5 cm 1:2500 1.25 m 1:5000 2.5 m 1:10,000 5 m 1:24,000 12 m 1:50,000 25 m 1:100,000 50 m 1:250,000 125 m 1:1,000,000 500 m 1:10,000,000 5 km Positional Accuracy A useful rule of thumb is that positions measured from maps are accurate to about 0.5 mm on the map. Multiplying this by the scale of the map gives the corresponding distance on the ground.

  32. Testing Positional Accuracy • Use an independent source of higher accuracy: • find a larger scale map (cartographically speaking) • use GPS • Use internal evidence: • digitized polygons that are unclosed, lines that overshoot or undershoot nodes, etc. are indications of inaccuracy • sizes of gaps, overshoots, etc. may be a measure of positional accuracy

  33. Precision • not the same as accuracy! • repeatability vs. “truth” • not closeness of results, but number of decimal placesor significant digits in a measurement • A GIS works at high precision, usually much higher than the accuracy of the data themselves

  34. Accuracy vs. Precision

  35. Accuracy vs. Precision

  36. Components of Data Quality • positional accuracy • attribute accuracy • logical consistency • completeness • lineage

  37. Midterm

  38. Midterm • Multiple choice on scantron/bring #2 pencil • Major concepts moreso than details • Reviewing LECTURES is key PPT files • background & extra in Chapters 1, 3-4, 9, 20 in Longley et al. • Will not include • Web Sites of the Week (WSWs) • Labs • Learning Assessment/Practice Questions on class web site
