‘It will help in detecting encroachments and layout plan violations’
Rajya Sabha member V. Vijaya Sai Reddy on Friday launched the ‘Change Detection Software’ pilot project at the VMRDA office, which was initiated by the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) to monitor land-use technology.
Mr. Vijaya Sai inquired about the functioning of the system. VMRDA Commissioner P. Koteswara Rao explained that the project was taken up in association with Environmental Systems Research Institute(ESRI). The lands belonging to VMRDA will be monitored by using DGPS survey data and Geographic Information System(GIS) software. The GIS-based applications can be used to detect encroachments and layout plan violations.
