  • Intersect
    Overlay method to identify area that falls within the identified criteria (A AND B).
  • Intersection
    Opposite of Resection, it is the method of determining position of an unknown point by fixing its relative position from two or more known points.

    Type of Attribute that ranks data according to an arbitrarily assigned starting point, which indicates distances (comparative values) between different classes.
  • Intervalometer
    A device counts intervals of time.
  • Intranet
    Closed network using Internet Protocol.
  • Inverse Matrix
    In linear algebra, if an n*n square matrix B can be expressed by an invertible n*n square matrix A with the following expression: AB=BA=In , then the matrix B is the inverse of A.
  • Inverse Transformation
    A transformation T: X → Y is invertible if there is a transformation S: Y → X satisfying ST = idX, and TS = idY.

  • Ionosphere
    A layer of Earth's atmosphere with high concentration of ions and free electrons, it is able to reflect radio waves.
  • Ionospheric Biases
    Errors in data caused when signals enter Ionosphere, Ionospheric Delay is main cause of error.
  • Ionospheric Delay
    Change in speed of signal when it enters the Ionosphere, it is dependent on the frequency of the signal and the composition of the atmosphere (e.g. TEC).
  • Ionospheric Effect
    Results in error in GPS positioning, where the atmosphere diffracts and refracts GPS signals.
  • IRIS
    Intelligence Reconnaissance Imagery System
  • Irregular Array
    Matrix with different number of elements in each row.
  • Irregular Stepped Class Limits
    Class interval determination that calls attention to the characteristics of distribution, minize certain aspects of errors, and/or highlight certain elements of data range.

  • Isolines
    A line on a map that has a constant value.
  • Isometric View
    Type of parallel projection often used in technical view, it is a pictorial view of 3D object, drawn by creating isoplanes, not a true 3D view.
  • Isostatic Rebound
    Rise of land mase that were previously depressed by the weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period.
