EE 648 - Geographic Information Processing

3 Credit(s)

This course presents computations, analytical methods, and graphical representation for geographical information systems (GIS). Topics include spherical trigonometry, data models, coordinated transformations, digital filtering, terrain mapping, analysis of attributes over terrain, and spatial interpolation. In homework assignments and classroom workshops, students use these computational methods for processing of geographic information. Applications to electromagnetic wave propagation, magnetic field surveys, and hydrology are offered as extended examples. Coursework requires the use of a mathematical analysis package.
