TS No. 51: MPOB Geospatial Product and Mapping Services for Oil Palm Plantation Management

Geospatial technology of global positioning system (GPS), remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) is widely used in mapping. Geospatial data as remotely sensed imagery and other raster formats are increasingly collected in fi ner resolution. Interpreting and visualizing information from the data has become an essential element in natural resources management, environmental planning and decision-making (Arvanitis et al., 2000). GIS and computer-aided visualization are recognized as the main components in visualizing the information as the end-product to the public. A geographic database (geodatabase) is used to store the integrated collection of geospatial data. The integration of heterogeneous geospatial data offers possibilities to manually and automatically derive new information not discernable from only a single data source. Furthermore, it allows for consistent representation and updates from one data set to the next.
