Section B: Short Answer Questions

(3 marks each, 18 marks total)

11. Supervised and Unsupervised Classification:

 Supervised Classification: Trains the algorithm using labeled data to classify image
pixels. Example: Classifying land cover (forest, water, urban) using training samples.
 Unsupervised Classification: Categorizes data into clusters based on spectral similarity
without prior training. Example: Grouping land cover types automatically into clusters.

12. Difference Between Hyperspectral and Multispectral Imaging:

 Hyperspectral Imaging: Captures hundreds of narrow bands, enabling precise material


identification.
 Multispectral Imaging: Captures fewer bands (3-10), used for general land cover
mapping.

13. Significance of Contour Lines in Topographic Maps:

 Represent points of equal elevation, showing terrain shape.


 Closely spaced lines indicate steep terrain; widely spaced lines indicate flat terrain.
 Aid in planning and navigation.

14. Segments of GPS System:


 Space Segment: Satellites transmitting signals.
 Control Segment: Ground stations managing satellites.
 User Segment: GPS receivers calculating position and time.

15. Applications of GIS in Urban Development:

 Zoning and land use planning.


 Optimizing transportation networks.
 Monitoring population density and infrastructure.

16. Digital Photogrammetry:

 Science of obtaining information from digital images.


 Uses: Topographic mapping, 3D modeling, and land surveying.

Section C: Long Answer Questions

(8 marks each, 32 marks total)

17. Role of Geospatial Technology in Disaster Management:

 Flood Management: Monitoring and mapping flood-prone areas using GIS and remote
sensing.
 Earthquake Relief: Identifying affected areas and planning relief operations.
 Real-Time Data: Satellite imagery for real-time disaster response.
 Post-Disaster Recovery: Assessing damage and monitoring rehabilitation efforts.

18. Integration of GPS, GIS, and Remote Sensing in Groundwater Management:

 GPS: Identifies exact locations for data collection.


 GIS: Maps aquifers, recharge zones, and groundwater levels.
 Remote Sensing: Monitors vegetation cover, rainfall, and land use patterns.
 Benefits: Supports sustainable water usage, identifies over-exploited areas, and facilitates
decision-making.

19. Trends in Geospatial Technology:

 UAV-Based Remote Sensing: Captures high-resolution data for flexible mapping.


 Cloud-Based GIS: Enables real-time data sharing and processing.
 AI Integration: Enhances data analysis for environmental monitoring.
 3D GIS: Provides realistic visualization for urban planning.

20. Advantages and Disadvantages of Geospatial Technology in Health Management:


 Advantages:
o Maps disease outbreaks and hotspots.
