Introduction
Geographic Information Systems ( g p y (GIS) are ) specialized computer programs designed to analyze spatially referenced data. A GIS consists of a series of map overlays for a specific geographic region. These overlays may depict raw data (e.g. topographic elevation) or may show th t hi l ti ) h thematic ti information (e.g. soils, land use, or geology), but they must share common geographic qualities that permit them to b merged so that one can h i h be d h identify and analyze interrelationships between the data.

Introduction
GIS data consist of many compatible data sets for the same geographic region

Introduction
Remote sensing and GIS have many close relationships to each another.
Remote sensing systems contribute data to GIS. Remotely sensed data can provide timely information at low cost and in a form that is compatible with the requirements of a GIS Both GIS and digital remote sensing systems use q p p program. similar equipment and similar computer p g The non remote sensing data from a GIS can be used to assist in the analysis of remotely sensed images
Introduction
A GIS must include at least these main elements:
Computer Hardware Computer programs Data Operator (personnel that operate and maintain the GIS)
GIS Software
A GIS requires specialized p g q p programs tailored for the manipulation of geographic data. The tasks essential for GIS:
Image display Overlay capability permits the analyst to superimpose two or more data sets for display or analysis.
Visual overlay refers to the ability to superimpose two overlays on the screen so that the two pattern can be seen together in a single image. Logical overlay and arithmetic overlay mean that the analyst can define new variables or categories based upon the matching of different overlays at each point on the map.

Today most GIS are designed to use vector format, although most accommodate raster data, or may use raster structures for selected analyses. Raster-to-vector and vector-to-raster conversions permit mixing of two kinds of data , although unnecessary conversions can create errors errors.

Relative to the predominant category rule, these procedures improve the accuracy of the database as a whole, but the error at each cell can be quite large

Conclusion
The concept of the GIS is very important in remote sensing and it is ideally permits full utilization of the goals of remote sensing. Image matching, image registration, data matching registration compatibility, improvements in image geometry will improve the usefulness of remotely sensed data for GIS GIS. The remote sensing and GIS has mutually supporting and so many close relationships to each another. h th
