3. Connectivity Operations: 3.1 Connectivity measures 3.1.1 Under Raster 4-connected (Diagram) 8-connected (Diagram) 3.1.2 Under Vector Objects are identified under vector data model. connectivity can be determined based on physical connection 3.2 Proximity (buffering) 3.2.1 Under Raster Calculating distance and thresholding (Raster Buffering) The Nature of error with buffering under raster (Error) 3.2.2 Under Vector Construct buffers for individual line segments and then resolve the overlaps (Vector Buffering)

3. Connectivity Operations (Continued…)
3.3 Intervisibility operation (viewshed analysis) (Raster only, requires a DEM) Find out the area which can be seen from a point (viewshed) 3.4 Spatial Search The Point-In-Polygon Operation (Point-In-Polygon)

Questions:
1. How to determine the size of a particular patch under the raster data model? (the size of one patch)
2. Buffering under raster is not accurate. Why people say that? What is a commission error and a omission error under the context of a raster buffer?
3. What is 4-connected and what is 8 connected?
4. How would one determine if a point is in a particular polygon or not? Why do people say that point-in-polygon is the fundamental operation for spatial search?
