Abstract
Geo-Information System or GIS - A computer system capable of holding and using data describing places on the earth's surface in a better analytical manner. ILWIS stands for Integrated Land and Water Information. It is a Geographic Information System ( GIS ) with Image Processing capabilities ILWIS has been developed by the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences ( ITC ) , ILWIS stands for Integrated Land and Water Information System. It is a Geographic Information System (GIS) with Image Processing capabilities This paper discusses the application of ILWIS by giving it a fully automated user-friendly interface EasyLANDSCAPE and implements it for GIS purposes by calculating select Landscape Parameters mentioned in the FRAGSTATS Manual by Dr. Kevin McGrigal and certain Morphometric Watershed Analysis Parameters .

EasyLandscape also has certain built-in functionalities to facilitate elementary Map Operations like Raster, Vector, Segment, Point - Map, Histogram conversions
