PhD Research

Multi Map Projection in GIS (Brief)

It was a new method to handle diversity of Map Projections. The main issue in the research was to develop a conceptual framework, select adequate knowledgebase and software development. An MMP module has developed to select a suitable MP intelligently during the exploring geospatial data. 

Master's Thesis (Brief)
 Web-Based GIS, This work was done at Geodesy and Geomatics GIS Lab under the supervision of Dr. A.A. Alesheikh in  KNTU, Tehran, Iran. The result was a complete research about Web GIS with interactive map server which could  be accessed using any computer on the Intranet with a web browser. The work included software development, coding, and data preparation.
