| Digital
Elevation Models (DEM): |
| DEM data
for macro-level planning is typically generated
from topographic paper maps. Where reliable
topographic map data is unavailable, DEM data
is generated from RADARSAT, SPOT, IRS or ERS
stereo images. For more demanding micro-level
planning requirements, RMSI uses stereo aerial
photographs or high-resolution stereo satellite
imagery to generate highly accurate Bald Earth
DEMs, Canopy DEMs or Engineering DEMs. |
| Land
Use/Clutter databases: |
| RMSI has
extensive experience in deriving Land Use
(clutter/morphological) data from paper maps,
satellite imagery and aerial photography.
These databases depict geographic distribution
of natural and built-up features that are
classified as per user defined classes. RMSI
data sets would typically contain between
7 to 20 clutter classifications. |
| Vector/Linear
databases: |
| RMSI's vector
databases represent transportation infrastructure
including roads and railways, and other linear
features such as coastlines, rivers and borders.
Vector databases are generated from topographic
paper maps, city guide maps, satellite imagery
and aerial photographs. |
| 3D
Building Height databases: |
| Building
vector information is provided as polygons
representing building footprints at the
ground level. Building height databases
comprise vector files containing the footprint
of built-up structures along with their
elevations. These databases are usually
generated from aerial photographs or high-resolution
stereo satellite imagery.
|
| Ortho-imagery: |
| Fully rectified
ortho-imagery is provided as a seamless mosaic
of the source aerial photographs or satellite
imagery. The source imagery is corrected to
remove distortions due to the camera and topography.
RF planners use digital ortho-imagery as a
visual reference. |
| Customized
Map Data Sets: |
| One of
RMSI's biggest advantages over its competitors
is its ability to promptly deliver customized
map data sets that exactly fit the requirements
of its clients. RMSI's qualified staff of
over 350 mapping and GIS engineers ensures
quick delivery of custom data sets for clients
who need the data "yesterday".
|
| Conversion
of Client Data Sets: |
| RMSI undertakes
custom projects to transform client data into
different projection systems, update old datasets
with freshly created data, change the resolution
of datasets, and convert data from one file
format to another. |
| Geodata
Consulting: |
| RMSI offers
independent consulting services for defining
the appropriate resolution, quality and type
of geodata required by a client for a specific
RF planning and design. RMSI undertakes rapid
needs assessment, evaluates all available
input sources, and provides recommendations
on the optimum geodata requirements for the
specific need. |
| Data
Acquisition: |
| As part of
its total solution services, RMSI offers to
source data including paper topographic maps,
satellite imagery and aerial photographs for
its clients. RMSI also assists clients in
obtaining the necessary permissions for digitizing
from copyright sources. RMSI has built a large
inventory of maps and satellite images of
regions around the world. |
