| "Faeton" data gathering technology for geoinformation systems (GIS) LLC "Art-master" has developed "Faeton" spatial data gathering technology is based on GPS-measurements and Geomedia.com.ua technology of Intergraph Corporation uses a mobile hardware-software complex of own design. This technology allows filling up and updating constantly of available geospatial data bank, and also renders services of gathering and processing of initial spatial data which is the foundation of making of various models of transport network, for example, routing systems and others applied GIS. "Faeton" technology includes using of automobile, GPS-receiver, video camera and special software of own design which is based on Geomedia technology. "Faeton" is the unique software specially developed on the basis of GPS-technology; it makes possible to organize data accumulation in real time mode due to instant data display on the screen. In other words, one have seen an object on the district, pressed the corresponding button, and the database has been replenished with one more record with its attributes. GeoMedia technology made possible to execute data visualization due to applied problems and requirements to the system. The basic data gathering is carried out by mobile teams. The technique of GPS-measurements provides the quickest way of actual data reception from the places of extraction. During spatial and semantic data gathering databases are filled in directly inside the automobile. This mobile DB is the prototype of a stationary DB which is used in GIS-projects afterwards. Advantages of "Faeton" technology: spatial and semantic data reception speed; current importance of collected data; estimation of quality survey of objects in real time mode; simplicity of spatial data definition, without extra cameral equalization and specification of object coordinates; mobility that allows data gathering at any district; data gathering at any time of the year and under any weather conditions (except the conditions limiting visibility of survey of objects); using of any database for accumulation, storage and the following data processing.
"Faeton" technology grants services of actual data gathering regarding various city objects, for example, street phones, telegraphs, cash machines, sales outlets, advertisement hoardings (big boards), citylights, at any time of the year and under any weather conditions, and also allows LLC "Art-master" to update constantly its geospatial databases and databanks of the customers. |
