Planimetric Mapping

Accurate horizontal distance measurement and GIS mapping services

Planimetric Mapping

Digital planimetric mapping provides accurate yet simple horizontal distance measurement. The clarity and usefulness of planimetric maps depend on the quality of the source data and the technique used to extract the details.

Aerial photography can be digitized to form a GIS (geographical information system) base, levels of detail for selected objects chosen, and a planimetric map constructed.

Planimetric Mapping

Our Approach

NAVAL provides high-quality & cost-effective planimetric mapping service to its partners. Aerial photos are analyzed to identify the planimetric data, using advanced software tools & experienced team members. Through photogrammetry, we can recover the exact positions of surface points.

Stereo imagery allows the definition of each map feature 3-dimensionally in terms of vectors (lines) and points. We then generate a vector map with corresponding map symbols.

Quality Assurance

  • Topology and geometry consistency between all map object classes
  • Custom software development and coding where appropriate
  • Regular update services to maintain optimal accuracy
  • High precision vector mapping

Applications

  • • Urban planning and development
  • • Infrastructure mapping
  • • Land use analysis
  • • Environmental monitoring
  • • GIS database creation
