Geospatial Computing

MATLAB and the Mapping Toolbox provide a complete environment for the visualization, exploration, and analysis of geospatial data such as vector maps, georeferenced imagery, and terrain data. These capabilities are useful in fields such as aerospace, defense, geophysics, intelligence, oceanography, and other earth and planetary sciences.

The Mapping Toolbox provides a comprehensive set of functions and graphical user interfaces for building map displays and performing geospatial data analysis in MATLAB. You can create map displays that combine data from multiple modalities and display them in their correct spatial relationships. The toolbox supports standard analyses, such as line-of-sight calculations on terrain data or geographic computations that account for the curvature of the Earth’s surface.

With MATLAB and the Mapping Toolbox, you can:

• Import data from standard geospatial formats and specific data products
• Organize, extract, combine, and otherwise manipulate map and geospatial data
• Create 2-D and 3-D map displays with more than 60 map projections
• Analyze map and geospatial data
• Display and analyze terrain data

With the addition of the Image Processing Toolbox, you can:

• Enhance geospatial images for analysis or visual interpretation
• Perform spatial transformations
• Perform image registration using control points
• Detect and measure image features
