Digital DataIn a most generalized way, a digital image is an array of numbers depicting spatial distribution of a certain field parameters (such as reflectivity of EM radiation, emissivity, temperature or some geophysical or topographical elevation.

Digital preservation differs from traditional archiving. Archives traditionally preserve physical objects (e.g. paper, photographs, microfilm) which carry information.

Digital orthophotos require several types of inputs to produce an orthogonally rectified image from the original perspective image captured by the sensor. These inputs are the following: 1) the unrectified raster image scanned from the diapositive or ...

*** Digital Data: Data representing distinct objects or digits that stand for some phenomenon in the real world. Data represented digitally may be manipulated to produce a calculation, sort, computation, or query.
| |
The digital representation and manipulation of geographic concepts raise a number of fundamental research issues, many of which, though long-standing in traditional disciplines, have been re-energized by the development of GIS.
| |
Even after digital computers became generally available, results were far from uniform. Many algorithms for Schwarz-Christoffel mapping suffered from low efficiency, limited precision, or instability, i.e.

Often because GIS data is in digital form and can be represented with a high precision it is considered to be totally accurate. In reality, a buffer exists around each feature which represents the actual positional location of the feature.
| |
Before geographic data can be used in a GIS, the data must be converted into a suitable digital format. The process of converting data from paper maps into computer files is called digitizing.
| |
Your results can be displayed as a digital map, printed as a paper map, combined with spreadsheet-like tables or charts, or displayed as such.
