GIS data capture and analysis

Data capture

Geographic Information Systems require the data input into them to obey certain rules and have specific structures. Obtaining data in this form is referred to as ‘data capture’.  Only if your data fully obeys these rules can you carry out comprehensive analysis and comparison.

We have used the latest technology to give an automated data capture approach to a number of recent projects. Taking this approach enables us to spend more time on the quality and validity of your data, where effort really does make a difference.

We can also help with sourcing and integrating data, including Ordnance Survey (OS), imagery, elevation data and all government held spatial data.

All Environment Systems data capture is delivered with full metadata.  Sharing good quality metadata (the description of data) across the organisations is the start to realising the value of all your information assets.

Geographic analyses and interpretation

Analysis of data in geographic information systems has been found time and again to be the key to unlocking the hidden messages in your data.

By comparing different data sets on a GIS you can identify underlying patterns and trends that could not be seen in any other way.

This is particularly useful if you need to evaluate the effect of data which cannot be tied together other than by geographical relationships.

It is also useful for identification of areas suitable for specific activities or types of development.

Environment Systems offer a full range of data capture, management and analysis.  To find out more, or to discuss your requirements, please get in touch.
