| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define GIS | spatial and Visual data, it shows you what its doing, and working with people like experts can help to process the visual data GIS gives you |
| Where does GIS contribute? | Surveying, geography, cartography, history, statistics, remote sensing etc... |
| If there is a binary notation of 00110001 what is this number? | the data of the bits go 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128. This means that for this data it is 4 + 8 + 128 which equals 140 |
| How many numbers are there for 255#s? | There are 256 bc it includes zero as well. |
| If you have 256 how many bits do you need? | this goes back to the binary notation and all 8 added up together is 255, so you would need 9 bits to tell you this data. |
| For a thematic map how can we store data? | points, lines, polygons, raster and attributes. |
| If you are given two points in UTM and asked the distance and direction what would you do? | N1 - N2 = DN, if its increasing then you are going North, if decreasing then South. E1 - E2 = DE, if its increasing then you are going East, if decreasing then West. |
| Calculate distance between two points in UTM that to get to it is 20 Northing and 100 Easting. | 20^2 + 100^2 = square root of distance. so you then add the squared numbers together to get 10,400 and find the square root fo that which is 102. |
| What is the max error for a 20 by 20 pixel? | The point is in the middle it takes 10 to straight out to the side, but to the corner would be most error, so you must square this 10, 10^2 and measure distance up to the corner from straight out so another 10^2 and add them = 100 then square root = 14.14 |
| In GIS setting maps are used for what? | Analyzing and storing data. |
| What is the simplest data format? | Record structure |
