Summary

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) represent area that is widely used in many present applications. The aim of the course is to get familiar with methods of obtaining, processing, and analyzing data in GIS. Techniques of processing the most common types of spatial data, analytical tools and techniques of their analysis, and not least ways to visualize in GIS will be introduced. Raw data processing will be shown following their analysis, storing, and final visualization to the end user. The course will also handle techniques to visualize data on the Internet.
