Self-organizing maps (SOM) are unsupervised maps used in neural networks. SOM is a powerful software tool to visualize high-dimensional data and convert complex data into simple relationships. These maps are…
In mathematics, there exist several types of maps. Linear maps are some of these maps found in this field. Linear mapping is the operation of mapping vector spaces that preserve…
Mobile mapping collects spatial data like a vehicle or any other airborne device from a mobile platform. It is more accurate than other mapping methods and involves sensors like GPS,…
A computer is an automated electronic device we need in our day-to-day operations. With continuous technological improvement, computer use has gradually increased and has found its way into several fields.…
In cartography, a scale is the map distance ratio corresponding to the actual distance. The scale on the Map helps resize the exact distance so that it can fit in…
A contour is an imaginary line connecting two points with an equal elevation. Therefore, a contour map is a type of map that is made up of contour lines. Contour…
Google Maps is a remarkable tool on its own. Google Maps is a web-mapping platform that produces digital maps and real-time locations. On some devices, it is tapped into the…
Conformal mapping is a function in mathematics that deals with planes and complex analysis. This type of function preserves the angle between a curve and the points on a plane.…
A digital map is a type of map that is held in an electronic device. Digital maps are slowly replacing analog maps due to their accuracy levels in recording the…
GIS has traditionally been used for monitoring and studying wildlife habitats. Using a GIS, we can learn more about the planet and how its physical processes and characteristics influence human…
