Convert KML to TopoJSON

KML or Keyhole Markup Language is a collection of geospatial data on map and commonly used in Google Earth or google services. TIFF (also known as Tagged Image File Format) is a file format for transferring, storing, and displaying raster images. Scanned aerial photography and maps, as well as digital satellite imagery and other geographic data, can be found in this file format.

A TopoJSON file format is a format that encodes topology. TopoJSON is an extension of GeoJSON. This format contains both geospatial data (arcs) and attribute data. In contrast to other GIS formats TopoJSON uses arcs. Arcs are sequences of points, while line strings and polygons are defined as sequences of arcs.

You can convert KML to TopoJSON file using IGIS Map Tool. You can also use it for other GIS data Conversion.

Shapefile to GeoTIFF – Vector to Raster Conversion

Shapefile is a vector data format for storing geographical data and associated attribute information. It is developed and regulated by ESRI as open specification for data interoperability among ESRI and other GIS software products. Shapefile can be point, line, or polygon features.

TIFF (also known as Tagged Image File Format) is a file format for transferring, storing, and displaying raster images. Scanned aerial photography and maps, as well as digital satellite imagery and other geographic data, can be found in this file format.

GeoTIFF is a public domain metadata standard which allows georeferencing information to be embedded within a TIFF file. The potential additional information includes projections, coordinate systems, ellipsoids, datums, and everything else necessary to establish the exact spatial reference for the file.

Convert Shapefile to TIFF using IGIS MAP Tool. Through this tool you can convert Shp into SQlite , SHP to KML, KML to GeoJSON, KMZ to GPX and many more.

IGISMAP to Convert Shapefile to GeoTIFF

For Shapefile to GeoTIFF conversion, go to Converter tool, after logging in with your registered email and password from IGIS. If you are a new user, click the Sign Up button in the Login popup and register to IGISMAP by filling the details.

Map Matching

Hello GIS learner today in this post we are introducing term Map matching is the linking or matching of observed raw GPS signals shown in below image with green color points with the road segments which the GPS signals actually corresponds. The coordinates of GPS observations are close to the road map but not exactly on it. So map matching is process taking input as raw GPS data and giving output as the actual position of road network.

Create your Own Customized Map and Share with Your Clients using IGIS Map Tool.

Why we need Map Matching system?

Now what is the need of map matching, why don’t we use raw data as it is. Map matching problems become complex when the raw GPS data travelled a multi lane road network, even manually distinguish is difficult. Map Matching is used in navigation. Now in the below image you can see the GPS signals in blue navigation but the route is different. In this observation any body can confused with these GPS signals on multi lane. Suppose if you are following these points then you get puzzled when many lanes running simultaneously. It’s a preprocessing method in GIS applications.

In Traffic flow Analysis and in directions Map Matching is useful factor. Aligning GPS across route is termed as Map Matching.

Locate DP Junctions, Ports, Fiber Cables, Connected Houses – GIS Telecom

In Telecommunication ‘tele’ comes from Greek means far off and ‘communication’ means exchange of information using some medium. Location information is elemental for telecommunication and GIS in Telecom is widely accepted. Geographical Information System tools manages and analyzes the location of dp junction, available ports, fiber cables lines on the map that increases efficiency of the system.

Locate DP Junction, Ports, Fiber Cable, Connected House – GIS Telecom using IGIS Map Tool

Now we will learn how can we use igis map tool in telecom industry. Go to IGIS Map Tool and login with credentials or register with valid email id.

Create a map using ADD MAP button.

Fill the Tittle of the map with description about the map.

Now you will be redirected to the canvas of IGIS Map. Here on the base map you see the plot number.

Now create a DP – distribution Point using point layer. Tap on Point icon shown below.

Fill the Layer Name. Add attributes for name of the distribution point and ports. You can add multiple ports to a junction.

After creating layer go to Add Point in the drop down of layer. Add point in the map. Now create a Polygon layer with attributes. If you are problem in creating layer then check – Create Map layer – Point, Polygon, Line. In the below image we have created multiple junction and houses with fiber cable connections. This type of visualization make your analyzation fast.

You can get information about the connected house to which port by clicking on junction point. Through this you can track the line if any issues occur at end users.

You can either upload fiber line data (shapefile or any GIS format data) or create line layer. And style your map as per desire. In the below image you can see various DP Junction connected to multiple houses. Fiber cables are also created in the image using line layer.

This is all about of locating DP Junctions, Ports, fiber cables and connected houses in GIS Telecommunication. If you are facing problem in execution then please do comment below.

We also provide customized products as per your needs. Contact us at juhi@igismap.com for information.
