- Data Development Services Overview
Successful implementation of any GIS depends upon converting the existing data in a manner that is consistent with the goals and business practices of the organization. It essentially involves capturing information from various sources and moving it to a centralized GIS database.
Magnasoft has extensive experience in dealing with issues associated with land base and facility database conversion and has assisted municipalities, consulting firms, utility companies facility managers, town planners, architects and engineers.
Our typical approach is:
- Study and Understanding the legacy system existing in the client’s premises
- Design and implement established quality procedures
- Provide value added services not restricted to a single platform and multiple output formats
- Design an optimized workflow and communication model
- Typical Data Conversion Sources & services
- Hard copy maps
- Satellite Images
- Aerial Orthophotos
- CAD files
- Scanned images
- Spreadsheets
- Survey data
- Map Index books
Our success is attributed to our skilled personnel, proven QA/QC systems, unparalleled client communications and competitive pricing.

Certain projects require the translation of existing non GIS format digital data obtained from legacy systems to GIS enabled data formats. Such data formats are migrated using our in-house automated tools. These tools are designed such that the data is migrated seamlessly and the geometry of the data is maintained in the process. Typically these projects involve migration from various file formats to either ESRI’s geo-database or Oracle Spatial.
- Typical Source Data formats for Migration
- AutoCAD .dwg
- Microstation. dgn
- MapInfo .tab
- ESRI shape files or coverage’s
Additionally, Magnasoft imparts experienced technical assistance and actual maintenance/ updating services for general mapping, land base and facility records

- 3D Laser Scanning Data Services
Laser triangulation is one of the most common techniques of 3D data acquisition. It is an active stereoscopic technique where the distance to the object is computed by means of a directional light source and a video camera. Figure One illustrates this triangulation principle.
2D arrays are faster and more accurate. 2D array of the CCD camera captures the surface profile's image and digitizes all data points along the laser. A simple expansion of this technique allows the complete geometry of the object to be captured

The following are the areas of applications of Laser Scanning.
- Architectural Restoration
When original accents are lost the 3D Laser scan of the original object can be used to recreate templates and molds for many items including hand carved wooden posts, plaster appliqué, and metal hardware. Using CNC machining, replica components can be manufactured. "When an original is too expensive, make a new antique."
- Historical Archival / Museum
Exact replicas of original art and historical artifacts can be created from 3D Laser Scans, providing historians and enthusiasts access to rare and delicate specimens for study. Replicas could be placed out for museum visitors to touch and hold.
Virtual Museums could be made available worldwide, while original specimens remains protected.
- Manufacturing & Reverse Engineering
When there is an existing sample, scanning is the ideal basis for run of replacement parts. When replacement parts no longer exist, reverse engineering and short run manufacturing is often the only way to keep antique or legacy equipment in service.
- Forensics and Deformation Analysis
For inspection of a failed part, a comparison can be made between a scanned model and the original CAD model or other sample.
- Fabrication and Construction Inspection
Quality and integrity of manufacturing can be assured by comparing a production sample to both the original CAD file and a sample known to be within spec.
