Overlay

Overlay. A series of registered data layers ‘overlaying’ each other. Arguably the most important GIS analysis function. Overlay. Derived from manual cartographic overlay using Mylar sheets (transparent plastic) that were physically overlaid on top of one another.

  1. Overlay A series of registered data layers ‘overlaying’ each other Arguably the most important GIS analysis function

  2. Overlay Derived from manual cartographic overlay using Mylar sheets (transparent plastic) that were physically overlaid on top of one another. -Ian McHarg in landscape architecture at University of PA

  3. Overlay • An overlay operation takes two or more data layers as input and results in an output data layer • Three types of overlay • Point in polygon • Line in polygon • Polygon on polygon • More complex in vector than in raster

  4. Overlay • Raster overlay • layers are registered • layers have same resolution

  8. Overlay • Point in polygon: vector • Jacobsen plumbline algorithm Pass a line through the point and polygon if number of line/polygon intersections is: even - point is outside odd - point is inside

  9. Overlay • Point in polygon: vector • result must include attribute information Input Input Output 1 2 A A C + = C B B Point Table Poly Table Point Table ID Cover 1 Rural 2 Urban ID Tree A Elm B Maple C Elm ID Tree Cover A Elm Rural B Maple Rural C Elm Urban

  10. Overlay Input Input Output • Line in polygon: vector • result must include attribute information C C A A + = D B B 1 2 1 2 Point Table Poly Table Point Table ID Cover 1 Rural 2 Urban ID Street A Race B Race C Arch ID Street Cover A Race Rural B Race Urban C Arch Urban D Race Urban

  11. Overlay • Raster overlay • Boolean combination

  20. Overlay • Raster overlay: map algebra • can use addition, multiplication, etc. • can ‘weight’ certain data layers • can use any number of data layers • can’t use nominal data unless it used as inclusionary/exclusionary by reclassification! • Be careful with ordinal data - classification impacts the results of overlay! • Standardize interval/ratio data
