Scope of GIS and GEOMATICS
0 likes2,540 views
GIS involves processing, analyzing, and generating spatial and non-spatial data from input data to aid decision making, but does not deal with data acquisition. Geomatics encompasses disciplines like geodesy and surveying that deal with measuring geospatial data as well as data acquisition, modeling, and other GIS functions. Geomatics is a more specialized field that includes GIS as a sub-division for processing geospatial data.

Of Geology, PU MPhill Geomatics SCOPE OF GIS AND GEOMATICS Geographic Information System *In GIS we usually go with the processing of data, analyzing it, and generating a spatial and non-spatial data out of our input data. *No dealing with the acquisition of the data. *It is a decision making tool. *It is also a geo-database with temporal analysis Geomatics *While in Geomatics, we go for all those type of the disciplines that deals with the measurements of the geo-data, like geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry etc. *A more specialized field. *It deals with the acquisition of the data along with modelling, and all other GIS stuff. I guess, GIS is a sub-division of Geomatics.
