This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers relies primarily on hard-copy paper maps and documents to manage real estate assets. It is now widely understood that real estate data are fundamentally geospatial and that there is great advantage to managing and maintaining cadastral information in a geographic information system (GIS). In order to provide the data in a geographic format, the existing spatial hard copy and digital data must be converted into an appropriate format. The most common methods to convert existing spatial data to a GIS include using Coordinate Geometry (COGO) with paper maps and survey documents, converting computer-aided drafting drawings; digitizing hard-copy maps; and scanning hardcopy maps and then using heads up digitizing or automated vectorization. These methods are discussed in this report. Four Corps District Offices have provided examples of their spatial data conversion methods.

A test implementation of a cadastre Real Estate GIS at Lake of the Pines, Texas, is also presented.
Download or read book Application of Spatial data Management Techniques in Corps Planning written by Darryl W. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial-data management techniques allow convenient, cost-effective representation of the spatially-varying data that are necessary for effective water and related-land resources planning. Application of the techniques began in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the early 1970's as an experiment. Since then, the techniques have been used for regional planning studies, major flood-control studies, and limited-scope investigations. The HEC-SAM software, developed and supported by the staff of the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), has made practical these applications. Keywords: Geographic information systems; Data bases.
Download or read book The Development and Servicing of Spatial Data Management Techniques in the Corps of Engineers written by R. Pat Webb and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is using spatial data management techniques in studies that are structured in a manner that requires spatial data management techniques to play a central and dominant role. The Corps of Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) provided the basic developmental work on the spatial data management and attendant processing techniques and it is continuing in the role of the basic technology transfer agent. The significant efforts required to document, maintain and service the technology and provide ready consultation service reported herein were planned for during the developmental efforts and are currently being centrally managed to encourage smooth adoption of the techniques by Corps field offices.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers uses geospatial data in all facets of its mission. At present, the geospatial data is not properly documented or managed and the potential loss of information is great. Engineering Division of Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE) is working toward assisting USACE elements with geospatial data management and documentation via the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Geospatial Metadata. Metadata is the documentation of the data that describes the accuracy, content, applicability, and distribution information about the geospatial data. To facilitate the creation of metadata, HQUSACE developed a training program to teach USACE personnel the metadata standard. To make the training available to a wider audience, ERDC developed a computer-based training module. The module covers several topics related to geospatial data such as metadata, standards, and the geospatial data clearinghouse. The module is located on the USACE Geospatial Data server at http://corpsgeol.usace.army.mil and is available free to any USACE employee or contractor. The program was developed with Macromedia Authorware 5 (http:www.macromedia.com) in Windows NT/95 environments. The metadata computer-based training course is the first of many courses planned for deployment via the Internet.

Download or read book Sources of Digital Spatial Data for Geographic Information Systems written by Mark O. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several computer programs are available to help Army installations plan military training activities while ensuring environmental quality and protecting natural resources. One such system, the Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS), requires digital spatial information for developing area-specific databases. This information previously was available only on a limited basis. Today, many more digital spatial data sources have come into existence. Use of such sources, compared with generating new data, can usually save an installation a large amount of time and money. In addition, these sources ensure minimum standards for accuracy and quality. This report identifies digital data sources to help installations evaluate the feasibility of implementing systems such as GRASS. Included is a list of the following characteristics for each source: format, scale/resolution, coverage, media, costs, and a textual description. Keywords: Army facilities, Army training.

This book was released on 2007-01-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years the United States has experienced a series of disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which have severely taxed and in many cases overwhelmed responding agencies. In all aspects of emergency management, geospatial data and tools have the potential to help save lives, limit damage, and reduce the costs of dealing with emergencies. Great strides have been made in the past four decades in the development of geospatial data and tools that describe locations of objects on the Earth's surface and make it possible for anyone with access to the Internet to witness the magnitude of a disaster. However, the effectiveness of any technology is as much about the human systems in which it is embedded as about the technology itself. Successful Response Starts with a Map assesses the status of the use of geospatial data, tools, and infrastructure in disaster management, and recommends ways to increase and improve their use. This book explores emergency planning and response; how geospatial data and tools are currently being used in this field; the current policies that govern their use; various issues related to data accessibility and security; training; and funding. Successful Response Starts with a Map recommends significant investments be made in training of personnel, coordination among agencies, sharing of data and tools, planning and preparedness, and the tools themselves.
