DIGITAL MAPPING AND DATA ACQUISITION

Through the use of our comprehensive in-house resources, we can acquire data in the most efficient manner possible to serve as the foundation of your GIS. Whether the acquisition will populate a new GIS or update an existing system, we can select and use any of the following methods:

Satellite Imagery:
As an exclusive distributor of High Resolution QBird Satellite Imagery, we can select the appropriate image type, perform archive searches and ordering, and custom process the imagery to meet your needs.
 

Use of RS and GIS technologies, in many cases, is the only realistic and cost-effective method to collect and analyze basic land-based information, such as mineral potential, land use and development planning for City Council.

Aerial Photography:
With our collaboration with international partner, Geo-Spatial Inc., Sky-Shine provides softcopy photogrammetry services through cost-effective and time bound solutions:
Orthophoto Generation
Feature Extraction from Orthophotos
Digital elevation Model
Contour Mapping
Planimetric Mapping

Geodetic & Engineering Surveying:
We perform complex and technically demanding surveys, including ground control surveying, GPS surveying, Multimedia mapping and LIDAR Mapping. We employ state-of-the-art field surveying equipment and techniques for conventional and real-time field data acquisition.



DATA CONVERSION

Data conversion is the process of changing data from one format to another, mainly the conversion of hardcopy maps and drawings to softcopy. This can be accomplished in several ways as:

• Computer Aided Drafting
• Heads-up Digitizing
• Semi Automated Raster to Vector
• Completely Conversion Automated
• Raster to Vector Conversion


Sky-Shine Corp., provides GIS data conversion services to clients with complex data needs. Our specialists convert digital data, digitize maps, link attributes to GeoSpatial data and perform appropriate quality control services. We provide the output in the following formats:

• ArcInfo
• ArcView
• MapInfo
• AutoCAD
• Microstation
