| Course objective : | This course is the prolongation of the course "inttroduction to Geomatic" (ENVT 2048-1). It emphasizes on the conception and development of geodatabases and relational databases. It also introduce the treatment and analysis techniques devoted to raster data.
After completing the course the student is expected to be able : - to handle both vector and raster geoprocessing tools in order to analyse spatial data;
- to set up geoprocessings using the Model Builder tool in ArcGis;
- to design a relational database and implement it in the MS Access environment;
- to be able to build SQL queries to analyse a set of data. |
