Foreword
I am happy that Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) and
National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) of the Department of Science and
Technologyarepromotinggeospatialscienceandapplicationsbyprovidingsupport
totheacademicinstitutions,nationallaboratories,andvariousotherstakeholdersto
undertake research and develop various applications. In the process, efforts have
been made to carry out R&D and innovation ensuring better health and nutrition,
imparting education and training of skill development, setting up of infrastructure
and connectivity, and promoting e-governance. The outputs of research projects
supported by NRDMS-NSDI over the last 5–7 years have been compiled and
brought out as a special volume on Geospatial Infrastructure, Applications and
Technologies: India Case Studies.
It has been noted that acquisition of geospatial data through various techniques
likeLiDAR,drone,andsatelliteimageshasmadetremendousprogress,particularly
in data resolution and coverage. With this, it has become easier to analyze such
datasets and develop various applications to facilitate implementation of develop-
mental schemes at the village, block, district and state levels. Under NRDMS
program, which is focusing on promoting geospatial science and applications,
specific R&D projects are being supported to provide a required push to help
implementation of various flagship programs of the government. The research
outputs of the R&D projects of NRDMS and NSDI are helping state governments
to effectively implement the developmental schemes ensuring spatial planning.
I am very happy that the present volume contains a glimpse of various R&D
studies supported by DST. This is expected to serve as a reference material to the
researchers and the planners who are working in the areas of geospatial science,
applications, and solutions.Finally,itwould also help in achieving the“India-2022”
visionoftheGovernmentbyprovidingrelevantgeospatialinformationandsolutions
for the benefit of the stakeholders.

Preface
As geospatial technologies continue to converge with mainstream IT, research
efforts in the domain have gained significant overlap with those in computational
sciences. Newer spatial data acquisition techniques such as LiDAR, large-scale
airborne imagery, geosensors, and automated vehicle tracking have motivated
researchers to explore newer geospatial applications. Similarly, spatial data
infrastructures are being increasingly used as open data portals, and setting up of
spatial data infrastructures at different levels of governance has prompted new
policyinitiatives.Alltheseinitiativesarecreatingacontinuouscycleofinnovations
in technologies and applications developments.
It is necessary to chronicle the efforts in geospatial technology, especially
through multiple efforts by researchers in India. We invited contributions from
leadingresearchersfromIndiaintheformofextendedabstractsondifferenttopics
that they have contributed in recent years. We requested full-paper versions of the
contributions that represented a wide spectrum of the efforts covering policies,
standards,infrastructuredevelopmentsanddeployments,cutting-edgeapplications,
and new technology developments. The full papers received were peer-reviewed
and accepted for this book. These papers are original works and provide an over-
view of the studies from Indian researchers. Many of the papers resulted from
researchfundingfromtheDepartment ofScienceandTechnology,Governmentof
India,throughitsNaturalResourcesDataManagementSystem(NRDMS)program.
This book represents an effort to provide a reference for researchers, practitioners,
andusers ofgeospatialtechnologies,particularlyinIndia,tounderstand thepolicy
initiatives, innovative techniques, and applications of this domain.
