Introduction
Geoinformatics is the integration
of remote sensing, Global Navigation Satellite System and Geographic Information
System dealing with spatial information. The advent of remote sensing, Global Navigation
Satellite System and Geographic Information System has made significant changes
in surveying and map making. A basic understanding of these components is crucial
for carrying out various types of surveys, navigation, hydrology, disaster management,
etc.
The field of Remote Sensing and GIS
has become exciting with rapidly expanding opportunities. Geoinformatics has three
major components namely remote sensing, GIS and GNSS.
