Data Capture
 

About Us  Our Technology 
Geo Strategies has the largest data capture installation in Central and Eastern Europe.

Technical

The installation consists of 56 high performance, 19 inch colour workstations all of which are connected to a 100 Mbps network.

In addition, we have 30 PCs (mainly 200 MHz, Pentiums), two A0 colour plotters, an A0 ink-jet plotter, a 400 dpi A0 scanner, several laser printers and a variety of text terminals connected to the network via their own NT Server.

We have 42 manual digitising stations, all with A0 or A1 high-precision (cartographic) digitising tables.  In addition there are four semi-automatic (VTRAK) data-capture workstations.

The main map production software is LAMPS from Laser-Scan (the same software as is used by the British OS, the Canadian Centre for Geomatics and other National Mapping Agencies such as DOSLI in both New Zealand and South Africa).  This is supplemented by AutoCAD - which is used for format conversion - and MapInfo for the majority of GIS activities.  We use ERMapper and ERDAS IMAGINE for raster image processing.

Capabilities

GSSA has developed an enviable range of skills.  We can -

    Scan A0 maps at 400 dpi
    Carry out bulk, manual digitising
    Capture line-work with semi-automatic (VTRAK) line-followers
    Edit and update maps from a raster back-drop e.g. from aerial or satellite images
    Geo-correct
    Transform and change ellipsoids
    Edge match
    Structure (polygonise) data
    Populate attribute databases
    Plot the data at up to A0 using a high performance ink-jet plotter (ENCAD, Novajet III)
    Output in a variety of formats, and on most media

Full details of our Data Capture services are shown elsewhere.
