Ortho photo in GIS


GIS can show Ortho photo in a Geographical
Information System
Example from Klim
Ortho photo with GIS analysis by students


A GIS project can visualize the collected data in
a map
On top of an Ortho photo the students may
draw the outlines of a building and add new
information about every location.

Not the map, but part of the data base made
by the students is shown here
Wells and polluted areas – using ”Intersect”
The Municipality of Aarhus
Environmental pollution at Mundelstrup

The 1980s: 20 sites were depolluted. Toxic soil was
removed and new soil put on (20 million DKK)

Field-based GIS


iPAQ og ArcPad used to collect and store data
from the satellites
The data were used in the GIS programs.
Web-based GIS with local data

Digital Atlas – Local area: Students often
quickly realize the possibilities in GIS
