Raster vs Vector Data
An advanced, comprehensive deep dive into the two fundamental spatial structural paradigms: the discrete, mathematically pure Vector geometric model and the continuous, exhaustive grid-based Raster matrix model.
Topics Covered
Learning Objectives
Distinguish definitively and theoretically between raster and vector structural representations of reality.
Understand the deep computational data structures and complex storage implications of each distinct paradigm.
Evaluate and definitively select the mathematically and analytically optimal spatial data type for wildly varying geospatial problem sets.
Comprehend the mathematically aggressive algorithms and inherent geometric data loss involved in violently converting strictly between the two paradigms.
