Land Surveying Services

If you know anything about GIs services, you've probably heard about data digitalization at some point. Data Digitization is an effective strategy for information and management of storage in a GIS project. It is becoming increasingly popular every day. It is mainly used to record coordinates in point, line, or polygon formats. Digitization is an expensive and time-consuming procedure that converts hardcopy/scanned copy or satellite/Aerial base maps into vector data.

Sentientia Lustrum is essential in managing services that rely on the correctness of digitized features or maps. We have experienced digitizers that understand how to evaluate maps and properly digitize information in a short amount of time. If you are concerned about the quality of service that we give, you can rest assured that we never compromise on the quality of the service. Moreover, we also place a high value on accuracy and precision. Our digitizers strive for perfection in their job outputs.

Digitization services are most commonly used to transform maps, schematic diagrams, or circuit diagrams into digital formats. Digitization services are also employed in the production of contour maps, zonal maps, topographic maps, cadastral maps, and utility maps. All of your requirements are taken care of at our organization.

Types Of Map Digitization

Do you aware that an analog signal or picture is portrayed by a defined set of points called Digitizing? After conversion, the data is in binary code, which a computer may read directly. You can convert text, images, music, and videos. Analog signals are dynamic, whereas digital signals are discrete. There are four forms of GIS data digitization, each of which is valuable in its own manner. Let's have a look at them all.

Manual Digitizing

The operator physically draws all of the lines from his hardcopy map and makes an identical digital map on the computer in this form of digitizing. It takes a long time and has a low level of precision.

Heads-Up Digitizing

The particular technique of digitization necessitates the scanning of a map or picture into a computer. As a result of employing high-precision digitizing software, the accuracy of points, lines, and polygons rise. So, you can see that this sort of digitizing technique is superior to hand digitization, especially in terms of accuracy.

Interactive Tracing Method

The interactive tracing method includes tracing one line at a time under the instruction of the operator so that it increases speed and precision. This is an improved form of Heads-up digitizing.

Automatic Digitizing

When you hear the term "automated digitizing," it simply refers to the automatic conversion of raster images to vector images utilizing image processing and pattern recognition algorithms. Algorithms are used to detect and digitize the characteristics. This is an incredibly advanced technology, and only a few professionals are capable of doing it.

Are you worried about the accuracy and precision of the Data digitization process?

The geographic accuracy and precision of the items in the GIS database are crucial in the digitizing world. As a result, we understand how critical accuracy is in this particular segment of GIOS services. Finally, the features and quality of the digitization process are used to determine the accuracy of the digitized map. Geodetic, mechanical, cartographic, textual, positional, and attribute errors are all common in digitized maps.

Geodetic Errors

This mistake is caused chiefly to the erroneous selection of a projection system, which results in inaccuracy, and faulty projection results in incorrect positioning of components on the map. As a result, the digitized map features do not overlap correctly. We do, however, take care of the fact that this type of mistake does not occur in our services.

Machine Error

This sort of machine error arises again as a result of the digitizing tablet or the software used to digitize the elements. It is sometimes caused by the lack of software upgrades or even malfunctions. However, it is an intrinsic fault that can only be mitigated rather than eliminated in most circumstances. For example, it can happen while changing maps from analog to digital versions. It plays a far smaller role in any mistakes made by the employer.

Cartographic Errors

The cartographical error occurs as a result of existing errors in the source map, and it can be transmitted into the digital map. One of the causes of these inaccuracies is incorrect interpretation or writing of map components. As a result, one must be very careful so that the latter cause is avoided and digitization becomes more precise.

Manuscript Errors

The manuscript error comes as a result of the quality of the source maps, as any stretching, warping, wrinkling, or indications of folding in the original map may interfere with the digitization process. It is possible that the digitized features will have an uneven form, area, and coordinates as a result.

Positional Errors

This type of error occurs when an element is not captured correctly, and it is totally correctable. So, it is clear from the term that the error is related to the locations of the elements. Dangling Nodes, Switchbacks, Knots, and Loops, Overshoots and Undershoots, Silvers, and Overlaps are all types of Positional Error.

Dangling Nodes

Dangling nodes can be found in the polygon and polyline methods. The digitized polyline hasn't met, or there's any space between both the nodes, whereas the digitized polygon occurs when a polygon doesn't link back to it.

Switchbacks, Knots & Loops

Switchbacks are produced in line with a bend, whereas knots and loops fold the line upon themselves, forming a polygon. It arises as a result of an unpracticed digitizer with incorrect cursor movement.

Let us inform you that, as opposed to manual digitization, on-screen digitization is more commonly employed in GIS companies. The image's normal resolution to the scale of the original raster data and digitize the feature with a better level of precision in on-screen Digitization. We at Sentientia Lustrum recommend our error-free data digitization procedure for your prospective projects. All you have to do is send us a call and your requirements. Don't be concerned about the budget. We will take care of your affordability and will not compromise on the correctness and quality of our services.
