Introduction to Remote Sensing for GIS Applications
Tuesday, January 26th, 1:00-4:00pm EST
Indiana State Library, History Reference Room

This seminar will introduce the basic concepts of remote sensing and show how image processing can be used to augment your geospatial analysis. It will cover the basic science of remote sensing, discuss sensor resolutions (spatial, spectral and temporal), explore different data types and learn about automated ways to extract information from imagery. Pixel- and object-based image classification methods will be introduced and demonstrated using local Indiana data sets. We will also discuss how image processing workflows can be integrated into database development and spatial analysis routines you carry out in ArcGIS.
Mark Bowersox will present. Mark is a geospatial applications specialist with a broad range of experience in GIS, remote sensing and imagery science. He has worked as a GIS Analyst for local governments, as a Systems Engineer for a defense contractor and is currently a Technical Application Engineer for ITT Visual Information Systems.

The Indiana Geographic Information Council’s Waters Workgroup has established a strategy to improve the US Geological Survey’s National Hydrography Data (NHD) for Indiana. This new hydrography layer will include updated and corrected stream and lake names, improved positional accuracy (aligned to photography no later than 2005), consistent hydrography densities (based on 6-acre drainage catchments) and updated features. Phase One of the project is now near completion. Come see the results and hear about this new USGS NHD layer for Indiana, what has been done to create it, and plans toward project completion.
Presenters will include members of IGIC’s Waters Workgroup: Mike Martin of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Phil Worrall of IGIC, and David Nail of the US Geological Survey.

Doug Marvel of Spatial Marvels and Steve Hatfield of Geoshack will begin with some basics about GPS, and then talk about applying GPS technology for field data collection. GPS “Networks” will be discussed to show how GPS users can utilize this valuable resource for their own data collection efforts. An overview will be provided of GPS data collection units starting with the most basic all the way up through higher-end systems. The seminar will conclude with some insights and trends into the future of GPS data collection for GIS.
