Underlying Technology
|
|
Laser-Scan's Object Oriented technology for building intelligent geographic
information systems gives developers the freedom to concentrate on the application without
worrying about the underlying mechanisms. Because the data model is object oriented the objects
contain behaviour as well attributes, so new entities can be added to the model without having to
modify the application.
Benefits of using Laser-Scan technology:
|
New applications can be rapidly developed, giving an early return on
investment |
|
Application costs are reduced because data and software components can be
shared |
|
Open standards ensure that solutions are portable across platforms |
|
A secure investment from a leading supplier of GIS technology |
Laser-Scan's object-oriented technology dramatically reduces product development time and
enables increased levels of productivity.

 Applications
Development
|
|
Gothic Developer
|
|
Laser-Scan's application development environment (Gothic Developer) is designed for
building complete GIS that use and process geographic data. The object-oriented modular
architecture gives developers the freedom to model and build applications according to the task in
hand. |
|
Gothic Integrator
|
|
Gothic Integrator enables non-geographic applications to exploit the geographic
component of existing data. Integrator allows you to connect the power of Gothic's Object Oriented
geographic Database (OODB) to an application written using any third party development tool such
as C++.
Gothic Integrator (Java™ edition) is a suite of tools that enables map data to be published on
an intranet or over the Internet. The toolset is unique, combining proven industry standard
products with a unique data-modelling environment where the data is active and map features are
brought to life.
Whichever you use, the final application will be based upon a robust, self verifying Object
Oriented Database allowing multi-user access, long transactions, and predictive modelling. |
|
Gothic Data Server
|
|
The Gothic Data Server is the interface between products built using Gothic
Developer or Gothic Integrator and the Object Oriented Data Base (OODB). The Gothic Data Server
also has gateways to relational database management systems containing non-geographic or geo-coded
data. |
 Products
|
| With OO technology at their heart |
|
VTRAK
|
|
The world's leading data capture system for converting scanned hardcopy maps and
engineering drawings into digital vector data. Interactive and semi-automated line following is
used to generate accurate, object coded, structured data for output in a wide range of data
transfer formats for incorporating directly into Laser-Scan solutions or other GIS or graphics
systems. |
|
LAMPS2
|
|
For geographic data producers who want to generate all types of maps, charts and
cartographic digital data. LAMPS2 integrates raster and vector data to build a generalised
continuous spatial database from which a range of digital and paper-based products can be derived. |
|
IGIS
|
|
IGIS combines in a single system the benefits of remote sensing and image processing
with the full analytical capabilities of a GIS. The basic IGIS system can be easily customised to
create applications that solve specific problems, for example CROPINS was designed to meet the
specific requirements of agricultural monitoring.
IGIS has been extended to incorporate the per parcel/polygon classification facilities that have
been developed to support the CLEVER MAPPING BNSC ADP project. |
|
Strategist
|
|
Mapping the geography of customer demand, site and sales forecasting, location
research and tactical marketing. Strategist analyses marketing, customer and corporate data and
presents it graphically along with standard business graphics. |
