Data nameSpecific introduction

Vector dataThe data precision is high, the storage capacity is small, and the operation is fast. The way to express the position of spatial objects is to write down the coordinates and spatial relations of spatial objects. Vector map data is composed of geometric data of geographical elements and attribute data.
Raster data [18]The accuracy of data expression is low and the amount of data is large. Its graphics operation is simple and inefficient. However, its digital simulation is easy, cheap and easy to achieve data sharing, and the remote sensing image format is close to the same. The data structure is mainly represented by regular pixel array.
Irregular triangulationAbbreviated as “TIN” [19]. It is a special data structure, which is between vector data and raster data. It represents the terrain surface by connecting a bunch of non-overlapping and non-intersecting triangular surfaces.
Attribute data [20]Descriptive data that describes the characteristics of geospatial elements. For vector data and raster data, attribute data are different.
Metadata [21]Data quality has great influence on GIS application. Metadata can describe objects such as information resources or data.
