GIS involves the collection and analyzing of spatial and other data as they relate to specific geographic entities, rather than simply displaying them on a map. The data related to a property might include the lot area, address, owner’s name, type of house, number, age and gender of occupants, school support, assessment value, type of soil and so on. Intelligent use of this data makes GIS a very powerful tool.

The applications of photogrammetry are widely spread. Aerial photogrammetry relies on aerial or satellite photographs, which are used to create topographic or thematic maps and digital terrain models. Some of the users of close-range, or terrestrial photogrammetry are architects and civil engineers (to monitor deformations or damages to buildings), archaeologists, plastic surgeons, and police departments (to document traffic accidents and crime scenes).

Geodetic surveying is a process of surveying to determine the size and shape of the earth.
