GIS application: Mapping and Area Analysis for MAEU Campus

Abstract

This paper emphasizes implementation of GIS mapping and area analysis for MAEU campus. The processes of overlapping aerial photos, drawing shape files, making 3D model, adding specific data and image classification provide GIS mapping with area analysis for MAEU campus using efficient applicable softwares such as Agisoft photoscan, QGIS and ArcGIS. With Agisoft photoscan, it makes overlapping photos taken by drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. With QGIS, it has transformed the geo-tagged photos into shape files. By using Arc Map of ArcGIS, it has added the surveying data in the attribute tables. The main purpose of this project work is to develop 3D map of MAEU by Arc Scene of ArcGIS. To generate the thematic map, it has also conducted image classification on MAEU campus with Arc Map. In addition, area of MAEU campus has been analysed in this paper.
