  • Hydrology

    • network realignment, esp. Local Resolution NHD
  • Utilities (Gas, Electric, Water) and Telecommunications

    • data migration/realignment
  • Feature Extraction

    • Roads, hydro, 3D-buildings, trees, power lines...from LiDAR
  • LiDAR Processing, including Boresight

  • Parcel Creation and Realignment

We specialize in applying innovative software solutions to data creation and improvement. Our major innovations include:

  • Transportation/Hydrology/Parcel Realignment

    • A. GIS data conflation program that achieves 97% automatic match rate routinely
        (industry COTS standard is 70-80%).
    B. GIS data Quality Control software that catches and automatically fixes most errors,
        yielding typical result of 99.99% accuracy, an order of magnitude above industry standards.
    C. Automatic realignment software that enables user to realign roads to centerline of roads based
        on orthophotography with 99% accuracy.
        (industry COTS standard is 70-80%)
  • Utility Realignment

    • A. Link Vector Creation and Enhancement Program, a custom feature realignment program that enables
         our technicians to improve the set of link vectors used in utility and parcel realignment projects.
    B. Feature QC program that checks 100% of the features (not a seven percent random sample which is the
        industry standard practice) in six measurable ways to assure maximum positional accuracy and
        99.99% QC compliance.
    C. Utilities/Telco NO DOWNTIME Production Method. Suite of programs that enable client to maintain
         production while realignment is performed off-line; custom upload program that implements
         realignment in a few hours on weekend or other appropriate time.
  • Telecommunications

    • A. Telco migration "production factory." Suite of programs and processes that maximize the efficiency of telecommunications data migration
         data migration.
  • Feature Extraction

    • A. LiDAR processing programs: custom program that removes manual processing from key LiDAR
         production steps and dramatically reduces costs.
    B. Feature extraction software that extracts 3D roads, hydro, trees (by height), transmission poles/lines and 3D buildings from LiDAR.
    C. Pole and cable extraction software from LiDAR.
    D. Vector to raster (image) realignment software.
