Chapter 5:
This chapter focuses on the Hybrid GIS system, a hybrid GIS system combines multiple deployment models; desktop, web, and cloud GIS, and integrates the strongest features of each. The chapter also covers raster and vector tiles. Raster tiles divide a map into image segments that’s can be reassembled after being transmitted, while vector tiles package geographic features into grouped vector data files, often delivered in the Protocol buffer Binary Format (PBF).
Chapter 6:
This chapter explains spatiotemporal data and real-time GIS. Spatiotemporal data comes from many sources, ranging from manually collected data to information gathered from sensors or generated by models. Real-time GIS involves data that is captured and processed either at a single moment or continuously over a period of time. Spatiotemporal data falls into 4 categories: moving, discrete, stationary, and change-based. The chapter also introduces the internet of things (IoT), describing it as a network of everyday physical objects equipped with sensors and connectivity that allow them to collect and exchange data. Examples include taxis, bicycles, refrigerators, biochips, and security cameras. Today, IoT consists of billions of sensors, and its overall market value is much more than we can estimate it to be.
My potential application of these concepts would be a GIS baes Census for all of Pennsylvania to track Elk Populations as they start to move back into Pennsylvania.
