Introduction
• The most expensive part of a GIS project is gathering the data and the construction of the database.
• In the past, people frequently began by digitizing paper maps.
• Today we begin by looking online for data.• However data collection is still important
as public data may not meet your particular needs.
![Page 3: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Primary vs. Secondary Data
• Primary data is data that you collect yourself.– A questionaire keyed to an address– GPS coordinates– Survey data– Photographs
• Secondary data is data obtained from another source.

Global Positioning System
• Initially developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for military use.
• Still maintained by DOD today, but can also be for civilian use.– Navigation in your car.– Finding your favorite fishing hole.– Mapping trails or roads.– Collecting data.
![Page 8: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Global Positioning System
• Location, Speed, and Timing...The 3 keys to GPS.• The GPS receiver must have 3 things to calculate
distance:– 1.) Exact location of the satellites– 2.) The Speed at which the radio signal from the satellites is
traveling– 3.) Very accurate timing to track the time it takes for the signal
to go from satellite to receiver

How does GPS work?
• Just as we depend on satellites for cellular phones and TV broadcasts, we also rely on satellites for GPS.
• In fact, GPS relies on 24 satellites that orbit the earth in very precise paths.

How does GPS work?
• Imagine that a GPS unit communicates with only one of these 24 satellites.
• Then, the GPS can only make a large and general “You Are Here”.

How does GPS work?
• With two, and even three and four satellites tocommunicate with, theGPS unit can make the“You Are Here” smallerand more precise.
![Page 12: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How does GPS work?
• Communication with four satellites is usually enough to improve location accuracy to within about 10 meters.
• Some GPS units can provide location within 1 meter!
• Postprocessing can provide centimeter accuracy

![Page 14: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Space Segment
• 24 satellites in 6 orbital planes
• Satellites orbit at 11,000 nautical miles
(12,659 statute miles)• Each satellite orbits the
earth in 12 hours.• Each satellite broadcasts
a signal.www.stoller-eser.com
![Page 15: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EXACT LOCATION OF SATELLITES
• The U.S. military creates a "master plan" for each of the satellites to set their orbits.
• This plan is constantly monitored for ephemeris (orbital) errors.
• Receivers download almanacs that tell them the exact location of the satellites.
![Page 16: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SPEED OF THE RADIO SIGNAL
• Satellites actively send out a radio signal, which is assumed to be the speed of light.
• The speed of light is assumed to be constant, but in reality, it is not due to atmospheric interference.
![Page 17: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SPEED OF THE RADIO SIGNAL
• When the radio signal reaches Earth, it can get reflected off objects (buildings, trees) before hitting the receiver.
• This bouncing off objects other than the receiver is called Multi-pathing, and increases the travel time of the signal (thus creating error in the distance measurement).
![Page 18: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Very Accurate Timing
• Receiver has a precise internal clock so it knows when it generated a signal, and when the satellite signal was received. Subtraction yields the time, which can be converted to distance.
• Note we assume satellite receiver clocks are in synch. Must make this assumption to calculate travel time.
• Unfortunately, this is not the case. Basically, receiver clock may be biased, so we need extra measurements.
• Satellites have extremely accurate atomic clocks, (cost $100k each). These are monitored and synchronized among satellites.

GPS
Position is estimated based on range measurements
Range = speed of light x travel timeRange = c(t1 – t2)
(c =299,792,458 meters per second)

Control Segment
• Base station receives signal and monitors each satellites exact location in space.
• Base station also maintains an atomic clock for precise measurements of signal travel time.

WAAS Wide Area Augmentation System
• GPS alone does not meet the FAA's navigation requirements for accuracy, integrity, and availability.
• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) are developing the WAAS program for use in precision flight approaches.
![Page 27: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WAAS
• WAAS corrects for GPS signal errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors, and it provides vital integrity information regarding the health of each GPS satellite.
• WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data.
![Page 28: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WAAS
• Two master stations, located on either coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message.
• This correction accounts for GPS satellite orbit and clock drift plus signal delays caused by the atmosphere and ionosphere.
• The corrected differential message is then broadcast through one of two geostationary satellites, or satellites with a fixed position over the equator.
![Page 29: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
GPS Accuracy
• Accuracy depends on:– Quality of equipment– Time over which observations are made.
• Source Amount of Error– Satellite clocks: 1.5 to 3.6 meters– Orbital errors: < 1 meter– Ionosphere: 5.0 to 7.0 meters– Troposphere: 0.5 to 0.7 meters– Receiver noise: 0.3 to 1.5 meters– Multipath: 0.6 to 1.2 meters– Selective Availability – User error: Up to a kilometer or more

Photos are usually scanned and converted to digital images for on-screen display and measurements
![Page 44: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Scale most commonly controlled by 1. flying height2. lens focal length
Scale is approximately equal to f / Hf = focal lengthH = flying height
![Page 45: L6 GIS Data Sources – Part 1 Highlights of Chapters 5 & 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e8a7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Scale is NOT Constant
• Can be over flat terrain with perfectly vertical photographs - rarely occurs
• Terrain - some objects are closer to lens, hence larger scale
• Tilt - causes perspective distortion

Besides geometric fidelity, we are also interested in the photo information content How do we interpret the photographs?
Select a photographic system appropriate to the task,
i.e., scale, coverage, time of year, and film type which best renders the details of interests
