The Spatial Information Technology Center, or SITC, is a joint effort between NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and Fulton-Montgomery Community College. The Center began offering credit courses to the public in September 2000.

With a large demand for skilled workers, the field of Spatial Information Technology offers a bright forecast for those who wish to pursue a career in technology.

FMCC offers the Spatial Information Technology Certificate and an Associates of Science degree in the same field. While the certificate provides a 30 credit hour professional and technical education foundation, the 67 credit hour degree is designed to help students jump-start active careers in spatial information management or serve as a foundation for bachelor or graduate degrees. Each program involves the disciplines of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Remote Sensing and Cartography.

The Center introduces students to the basic philosophy that Spatial Information Systems deal with geographical information, or data, such as where something is located, where it comes from, or how it fits together with other geographic data. Geographic Information Systems allow us to conduct spatial analysis in ways that are expanding daily.

SITC emphasizes that spatial analysis is an essential process used in decision making for business, industry and government. The diversity of applications is highlighted throughout the program.

Issues unique to Upstate New York, or those having a global impact, are examined and analyzed. Career paths and opportunities are presented with an eye to a rapidly expanding field.

Optem, Fairport, NY

The DTS™ is most useful in applications requiring the use of hard copy aerial photography where the ultimate goal is to be able to see and extract the finest ground information directly into a GIS. It is a high performance zoom stereoscope that also provides for viewing individual photos with both eyes, as well as viewing a computer monitor display superimposed onto one photo of a stereo pair. This is done using an internal LCD monitor and optics built into the DTS.

One of the primary design goals of the DTS concept was ease of use with minimum training. For GIS applications, the users should not have to be photogrammetric specialists, but should be able to concentrate on their own area of expertise.

The compilation process is a direct graphical transfer by the operator of what is seen on the photos into ESRI's ArcView. The underlying concept of the DTS is to change the size, shape, position, and orientation of the shape file as necessary to fit the aerial photography. Then you can make edits or additions directly into the shape file and, once the changes are complete, the shape files are reverted back to their original geographic position. The photography can be viewed in both stereo and mono modes.

The DTS software is an extension to ArcView. The software provides functions for continuous zoom, warping, rotating and stretching the shapefile to fit the photography. Operators select from these functions to use those that best fit their needs.
