Design And Implementation Of A Computer Based Cartographic System

Design And Implementation Of A Computer Based Cartographic System

Abstract

This design carries out a study need for the design and perpetration of a computer grounded cartographic system using public population commission as case study. The experimenter attempt to find out an advanced system of cartographic delineation and how to automate the process( robotization). Hindrances encountered in the mammal process that is, old approach of using and papers in drawing charts which could lead to poor representation of graphs, charts, hence the need for a well design and enforced computer grounded cartographic systemarises.This design computer grounded cartographic system will also help to keep record of numerous areas and charts of this country.

Preface

Background Of The Study

Cartography is study and practice of making charts or globes. Charts have traditionally been made using pen and paper, but the arrival and spread of computers has revolutionized cartography. utmost marketable rates charts are now made with chart timber software that falls into one of the three main types, CAD, Civilians AND technical chart illustration software.

Charts functions as visualization sacrifices for spatial data. Spatial data is acquired from dimension and can be stored in a database from which it can be uprooted from a variety of purposes. Current trends in this field are moving down from analog styles of chart timber and towards the creation of decreasingly dynamic, interactive charts that can be manipulated digitally.

The cartographic process rest on the premise that the world is measurable and that we can make dependable representations or models of that reality. Map making involve advanced chops and stations, particularly the use of symbols to represent certain geographic phenomens, as well as the capability to fantasize the world. In an abstract and gauged down form.

Statement Of The Problem

The present system of cartographic system of Nigerian population commission has a lot of problems, which are mentioned below.

ACCURACY In term of delicacy, the system is fairly slow and since it’s dependent to mortal trouble, so ineluctable, it’s also prone to mortal crimes and elision.

TIME Going by the present system of operation, time is consumed in the running of operation; since utmost cartographic delineations are substantially operated with pen and papers. It takes time to execute a particular work.

Purpose Of The Study

The objects of the study is designed to help the Nigeria population commission in their cartographic and maps designing and representation.

Objects Of The Study

The objects of the study are as follows

1. To give better effective job donation for colorful designing in the commission.

2. To produce a system where information and affair report will be produced much briskly, more directly and more detailed to the commission.

3. To keep records that are compact, integrated and streamlined.

Compass Of The Study

This study is strinced at chancing out how effectively the robotization of the commission cartographic system will ameliorate the operation of the commission. still, the design is narrowed to planning department that’s responsible for chart donation and recitation discrimination.

Limitation

The following constrants were faced by the exploration and limited the trouble in the developing of a comprehensive package demanded in the commission.

TIME This design work has one semester time limit. It would have been desirable for a longer period of time for the development of a package for the commission.

INFORMATION For some security reason, access to some vital information were deprived by the commission.

supposition

Due to inadequate information, I assumed the following;

a) The staff of the particular department should be computer knowledgeable.

b) There should be enough tools and outfit for the operations.

Description Of Terms

Computer A computer system is an electronic device with certain physical and logical attributes which enables it to accept input, process input and brings out affair.

PROGRAMMING Programming is a term used to relate to the act of formulating algorithms and data structure which can be executed by some computers, to maybe yield the needed result to a given problem.

FLOW Map A inflow map represents a methodical way of carrying out a process and is of use when writing a computer program.
