By Yulia Antropova in the Carleton Blog
Monitoring of snow cover area in the Apex river watershed in Nunavut, Canada at different temporal and spatial scales is important to better understand and predict freshwater resource supply in that area. My previous post describes retrieval of changes in the snow-cover for a large area using MODIS 8-day composite snow cover products with a spatial resolution […]

Python script to retrieve time-series changes in snow cover area from MODIS
Posted 7 years ago
By Yulia Antropova in the Carleton Blog
As a part of Directed Studies in Geomatics course supervised by Dr. Murray Richardson at Carleton University I developed a tool that allows a user to easily produce time-series plots of snow-cover area and other relevant pieces of information (e.g. bare ground, cloud, and night cover) for any region (defined by an input shape file) […]

By Yulia Antropova in the Carleton Blog
Here I would like to discuss creation of maps in ArcMap using different mapping techniques. In particular I was able to easily create the following maps as a part of an assignment for GEOM3007 course: dot density map (shown in Figure 1), proportional symbol map (shown in Figure 2), and choropleth map (shown in Figure […]

By Yulia Antropova in the Carleton Blog
I took Geospatial analysis course in Fall 2016 term which guided us through different ArcMap tools useful for digital spatial data analysis. For my final project I choose to explore tools in ArcMap for processing data acquired by Lidar technologies. UAV-mounted Lidar technologies provide measurements of the distance between the UAV and the target which […]

By Rafael Seyler in the Carleton Blog
So last week I took part in the Getting Started with Python lecture offered here through Training. I’ve been in several coding programs in the past (Java, Html, VB, Python to name a few) but this course, though condensed to fit 8 hours, was top notch. I’ve found that with other coding languages they spend a […]

By Dan Patterson in the Carleton Blog
Generate closest features by distance ————————————- From near.py Emulating Generate Near Table from ArcMap Let us begin with finding the closest 3 points to every point in a point set. Well, that is easy… we just use the ‘Generate Near Table tool’. You have been spoiled. This tool is only available at the Advanced license […]
