Digitization of maps and aerophotos

Municipality.Tech offers the digitization of cartographic materials of diverse complexity with parallel formations referenced to objects of the attributive database. As a result, the user gets the use of a vector-based cartographic image, which can serve as the foundation for a complete, multi-dimensional geographic information system

Digitization is the process of transferring objects from physical or scanned paper maps into properly located points, lines and polygons in the digital environment of a geographic information system (GIS). Digitization differs from scanning, which is an automatic or semi-automatic process of converting the whole map into a digital format. When digitizing maps, plans, or aerophotos, the dots, lines and polygons are automatically converted into vector data by means of complex software or are semi-automatically converted by a qualified technician or cartographer. Following from the prior definition of objects to be converted into vector format, a vector (ie, digital) display of the selected data is created.

Experience the benefits of using digital maps

• reduce costs on updating and printing maps, observing the appropriate conditions for their storage (humidity, lighting, etc.), free the premises where cartographic materials previously stored;

• quickly edit and update data on the map;

• provide a quick exchange of information and relevant databases;

• get access to e-maps from any gadget (smartphone, tablet, etc.) and at any time;

• read e-maps easily, operate vector map layers, and carry out a quick search in large volumes of spatial information.
