Digital Imaging Systems
Digital imaging involves the manipulation and interpretation of digital pictures, or images, using computers. In geomatics. digital imaging is used to analyze data such as land cover mapping, environment monitoring or oceanography. It also can be used to create three dimensional models of the real world which allows us to visualize an environment and to better understand our world so creative solutions can be found to problems.

Earth Observation
Remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about the Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it. This is done by sensing and recording reflected or emitted energy from sensors mounted on aircraft or satellites. This data can be processed and analyzed to give 'picture's of the Earth that can be used to manage and monitor our natural resources and the environment.

GIS and Land Tenure
A GIS is a set of tools that bromgs together the power of databases with digital mapping technologies. A GIS can be used to support decision-making through the analysis and integration of spatial data and it can be applied to a wide range of fields as diverse as municipal and environmental applications to the entertainment industry. Specific examples include the analysis of water and electrical utility lines on city properties or the analysis of land use in an agricultural region.

Position, Navigation and Wireless Location
The ability to locate oneself on the earth and in its vicinity and navigate over its surface is knowledge that has fascinated humankind for millennia. Positioning, Location and Wireless Navigation is a core theme of Geomatics Engineering. It covers airborne positioning and navigation, precise static and kinematic land positioning for vehicle and other applications, positioning on and under the oceans (hydrography), industrial metrology and the mathematical tools to calculate and analyze positioning systems and their measurements. Many of these techniques are based on the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) such as Global Positioning System (GPS).
