Spatial Data Representation
Spatial Data Representation refers to the methods used to depict the physical locations and characteristics of objects in a given space. This can include various formats such as maps, charts, and 3D models, which help visualize geographic information. Spatial data can be categorized into two main types: vector data, which represents discrete features like points, lines, and polygons, and raster data, which represents continuous data through a grid of pixels.
These representations are essential in fields like geographic information systems (GIS), urban planning, and environmental science. They enable users to analyze spatial relationships, patterns, and trends, facilitating better decision-making and resource management.
