Airport Mapping for Database (AMDB)

Airport Mapping is done for various airports all over the world in the preparation of Database for the Airport Maintenance. Accuracy of the mapping is very high and the spatial data is created using Photogrammetry Techniques while database is created in Geo-databse.

Geographical Information System for Irrigation Performance Evaluation

The Bhadra Project in Karnataka is one of the sub projects of National Water Management Project (NWMP). GIS is applied to the Satellite derived data of Pre and Post NWMP years to evaluate the extent of achievements of NWMP objective. The Paddy yield and Irrigated area over the years, identification of critical distributories whose performance is below par thus requiring closed investigation and correction are taken up. The good performance as well as spatial variability in system performance before and after NWMP are also

compared.

Development of Mandal wise Civil Supplies Information in GIS using ArcView

GIS was used for the development of Mandalwise information of the A.P.State in Arcview GIS. The areas which are industrially tribal prone as well as industrially developed, Godowns etc., are studied using GIS.

GIS for Telecommunications to Indonesia

Database creation for different thematic layers were generated. The three layers i.e Landuse, contours, and vectors were produced in 1:250,000 scale. Interval of contours was 20m. Compatibility of three layers was also checked.

GIS for Environmental and River Management

The main aim of the project is to capture all the rivers whose width greater than 2mm and all the water bodies like sea. The main purpose of the project is to find out the amount of water utilized for the irrigation, power generation, and for the construction of structural features like embankments. The topographical information of geomorphological maps which will be converted to digital form in this project. Geomorphological maps for Japan have been published by geological survey of Japan(GSJ) at the scale of 1:25000. The river project will convert the 1:25,000 scale maps to digital form. Most of the maps cover the area of 7 min 30 seconds longitude and 5 min latitude.

GIS for Parcel Properties for various Counties in USA like Albany, St.Clair, Schenectady, Cayuga etc.

The scale of the maps were 1:400' scale. Data was projected to the given coordinates using rubbersheeting. Data has been converted into vector format using Autocad 14. All the data has been digitized in various layers using different colors for identification. All the maps have been edgematched in Autocad 14. Final formats were required as DWG files.

Migration of MGE Data to Arc-GIS for all the Projects of Geodetic and Arial Photogrammetry Survey Section, SSD, Saudi Aramco

The Data was originally in MGE i.e in DGN formats and is cleaned to Migrate into ArcGIS i.e to Geodatabase. All the Reservations and Communities of Saudi Aramco are cleaned and converted to Geodatabase using Micromaps Software. The final data will be in Geodatabse for Editing, Manipulating and Querying in ArcGIS.

Rapid update of various Reservation and Community Areas in Geodatabase

Rapid Update Program is to update Database from time to time.

Database will be updating frequently as and where required for the

Proponent or in the Database. This program mainly to update the Wells

and surrounding areas.

Profile Generation for Proponents in ArcGIS

Cross section of Pipeline Data required for the proponent will be

generated as profile and both in the Micro station and Arc-GIS as per the

requirement.

Providing 3D Visualization in Arc-Scene for 3D Analysis

Providing Visualization of Data in 3D for various Facilities in the Geo-

Database is one of the primary projects. Since Data can be used by

different Proponents for many Analysis.

Projects in Photogrammetry:

Ortho-photo Generation for various Counties in USA like New Rochelle, Morris etc.

Digital Terrain Models were created for all the models of the strips. Scale of the photos were 1:100'. DTMs were overlaid onto photos and Ortho photos were created. Final Ortho images were made into sheets of 0.5'X0.5' pixel sizes. All the Ortho photos were delivered to client as tiles.

Geo-positioning of Site plans to Arial Photographs for Toronto City

All the Primary as well as Secondary educational school site and floor plans were digitized and then registered with the Ortho photos which were already geo-positioned. This was done for about 20 site nos. Each site no. contains site plan as well as floor plans. The transformed plans were converted into Shape files using Arcview and the output given in Line and Point files.

DTM Data being processed and edited for Contour generation to various Counties of USA from LIDAR techniques

Digital Terrain Models were processed and edited from the LIDAR technique

data. Mass points generated from the LIDAR technique were edited since the

technique was drawback when the data generated in particular areas like

forests. Also break lines were updated during the process.

Photogrammetry Mapping for Planimetry for Small Scale Mapping

( 1:10,000) to Reservations like Waqr, Qatif, Shaybah, Harmaliyah, Sharar etc., in Saudi Arabia

The models were produced in required Projection system and zone. Cleaning the models and edgematching with other adjacent models. Final editing was done after Q.C. Database linking was done after the final editing and the maps were done in a particular sheet format with legend. Final hard copies were taken plot once the Q.C. given the assurance of quality. Map scale is 1:10000 meters and finally Map sheets were generated with proper Legend.

Photogrammetry Mapping for Planimetry using Large Scale Mapping (1:1000) to Communities like Dhahran, Ras Tanura, Safaniyah, Tanajib etc., in Saudi Arabia

The models were produced in required Projection system and zone. Cleaning the models and edgematching with other adjacent models. Final editing was done after Q.C. Database linking was done after the final editing and the maps were done in a particular sheet format with legend. Final hard copies were taken plot once the Q.C. given the assurance of quality. Photo Scale is 1:5000 meters, Map scale is 1:1000 meters and finally Map sheets were generated with proper Legend.

Photogrammetry Mapping for Topography using Large Scale as well as Small Scale Mapping in Saudi Arabia to 1m contour interval

Topography data was created for both Small Scale as well as Large Scale Maps by online. Contours of 1m interval was maintained and also Spot heights were placed at peaks and separation of contours. Photo scale for Large scale mapping was 1:5000 and Small scale mapping was 1:20,000.

Raster Grid generation using DTM and committing in Geodatabase

Raster was generated from DTM using SCOP++ in Arc-GIS grid format with data generated and editted from DATEM. Raster Grid was cut into sheets using N-Band Raster Clipper in Arc-GIS and finally loaded into Geo-Database. For both the Reservation and Community data were generated the Raster Grids.

Projects in Image Processing:

National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed areas using Imageprocessing Techniques

This project aims at preparation of watershed-wise site specification plans in the form of maps on 1:25000 scale. Under the World Bank Project around 180 Rainfed and watershed areas are considered. IRS-1C digital data of LISS III and PAN sensor are used for this project. PAN resolution being high and LISS is multispectral, both were merged for different seasons to have a better picture for further analysis. Based on these merged images, the rainfed areas are studied for the maximum utilisation of water for the improvement of agriculture.
