Geographical Information Visualization

We specialize in the visualization of geographical information. Our team is dedicated to turning geographic data into engaging and informative visuals. Whether it’s mapping terrain or analyzing land use patterns, we enrich data with our features to make geography come alive.

Currently, we provide data on a grid of 1km x 1km, with future models working with predictions on a 100m x 100m grid for any region.

Types of Visualizations

1. Terrain Mapping: We create detailed maps that represent the physical features of the land, including mountains, valleys, and bodies of water.
2. Land Use Analysis: Our visualizations help in understanding how land is utilized, whether for agriculture, urban development, or conservation.

Technologies Used

• GIS Software: We utilize advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) software to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data. Our preference is for open-source technologies, which include:
  • PostGIS: An extension of PostgreSQL that allows it to store and query spatial data.
  • QGIS: A free and open-source geographic information system that supports viewing, editing, and analysis of geospatial data.
  • MapServer: An open-source platform for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web.
  • MapProxy: An open-source proxy for geospatial data that caches, accelerates, and transforms data from existing map services.
• Remote Sensing: Our team uses satellite imagery and aerial photography to gather data about the Earth’s surface. We prefer to use publicly available sources such as:
  • NASA: Provides a wealth of satellite imagery and data for various applications.
  • Copernicus EFFIS: The European Forest Fire Information System offers data on forest fires and other environmental factors.

Benefits

• Enhanced Decision Making: Our visualizations provide clear and actionable insights, helping stakeholders make informed decisions.
• Improved Communication: Visual representations of data make it easier to communicate complex geographical information to a broader audience.
• Resource Management: By understanding land use, organizations can better manage resources and plan for the future.

Case Studies

• Urban Planning: We assisted a city in developing a comprehensive urban plan by providing detailed maps and demographic analyses.
• Environmental Conservation: Our visualizations helped a conservation organization monitor deforestation and plan reforestation efforts.
• Disaster Management: We provided real-time maps and data to support emergency response teams during natural disasters.
