It gives you a sense of where transportation systems are adequate, where they may need to be improved. Dialog boxes make powerful image processing procedures, such as Vegetation Index analysis, easy to perform. Angelides further notes that imagery is a valuable decision support tool in planning new transportation systems. Traditionally, when transportation corridors are built, it encourages growth along those routes. Growth is often controversial, so new routes must be carefully planned.
Imagery can help people visualize very large areas very quickly, which helps in decision making.
They can look at proposed facilities and determine where capacities ought to be increased or left alone. To stay competitive in agriculture, farmers must use new technologies to get the highest possible crop yield while paying close attention to the return per acre of cultivated land. Imagery provides a cost-effective way to track variation in crop growth patterns through time and across acreage. To understand how those factors interact and relate them to the grape quality takes a fair amount of information and tools to organize that information. ArcView GIS, along with Spatial Analyst, ArcView 3D Analyst, and Image Analysis, is an excellent set of tools for being able to sort different factors and zero in on those that most influence the quality at a particular vineyard.
