Geographic Information system (GIS) is one such technology, which helps in computer based storage, organization, retrieval and analysis of spatial information in a userfriendly format. Combining GIS with Information technology (IT) provides a new tool namely “Geoinformatics” for addressing the issues related to geospatial domain. Geoinformatics Division is a new front area in RS&GIS Applications Area with the mandate of organization/development and management of geospatial data; spatial modelling and data analysis; development and integration of computer tools for visualization of geospatial data and development of decision support systems. The Division strives to create standards in geo-information organization, management and processing through use of new technologies and innovation to ensure data interoperability. It is planned to become the main technological hub for geospatial analysis and modelling, and provide total geospatial solutions. Services offered by this division are
- Complete Geo-spatial solutions
- Geo-data (Spatial and non-spatial data) organization and management
- Spatial modelling and analysis
- Conceptual modelling and realization of knowledge based systems (expert systems, neural networks)
- Multi-dimensional (2D, 3D, and 4D) spatio-temporal data modeling
- Validation of analysis and data quality
- Geospatial information web services and Mobile GIS solutions
- Customization and visualization in desktop as well as Internet based environment
Some of the information systems developed by NRSC includes:
- Wasteland Information System (WALIS)
- Web enabled information system for LULC (Bhoosampada)
- Web enabled Bio-diversity Information System (BIS)
- Indian Bio-resource Information Network (IBIN)
- Flood Management Information System (FMIS)
- Decision Support Systems (DSS) for Drought
- Urban Information System (UIS)
- Indian National Forest Fire Response and Assessment System (INFFRAS)
- Filariasis Monitoring and Visualization System
