GIS Software An In-house development By Bhugol GIS

GIS Software An In-house development By, Bhugol GIS Pvt Ltd For, Ru. Tag- IITB

Motivation Large number of government organizations / NGOs / Academic Institutions Minimal penetration of GIS at operational level Imported software too expensive, lacking support, and time consuming for manpower training Government of India sponsored development of in-house GIS development

An Indigenous GIS tool for windows GRAM++ (Geo Referenced Area Management) – A GIS tool GRAM++ built with Object Oriented Approach Works for both Vector and Raster data formats A Windows Software Product

GRAM++ Interface

Modular Architecture Data preparation Vector Data Analysis Raster Data Analysis Map Visualization

List of Modules of GRAM++ Data Preparation Input Output: The Input/Output module gives the facility to import/Export data with other formats from/into GRAM++ Vector and Raster format. Map Edit: This module provides facility for digitization / vectorisation of map on the screen along with Projection selection and convertion

Input/Output Module – Data imported from Survey of India DVD format

Map. Edit – Rasterize and Create Table

List of Modules Contd. . . Vector Data Analysis Vector Analysis: The Vector Analysis module gives the facility to query the map, generate various thematic and statistical maps TIN: The GRAM++-TIN module allows to triangulate GRAM++ Vector point format data. It can also generate contours from Triangulated data. GRAMNet: GRAMNet module, basically is a Network Analysis module. It has functionalities of finding shortest distance between a source node and the destination node, solve Location Allocation problem. Statistics: The statistical module help the interpretation of the data information collected. The data / information may be spatial or non spatial.

Vector Analysis – Info Tool

Vector Analysis – Thematic Map

Terrain – TIN Module Input Vertices TIN Interpolated Contours

GRAMNET – Allocation Problem

List of Modules Contd. . . Raster Data Analysis Raster Analysis: The Raster Analysis module has functions of arithmetic operations(like addition, subtraction etc), regrouping (class and range), Buffering, Zonal , Focal, Watershed Delineation etc. Terrain: The Terrain module provides facility for generation of DTM from contour map and calculation of slope, aspect and generates Image Processing: Image processing has functions to perform the operations such as Image Enhancement, Image Classification, and Image Transformation.

Watershed Delineation

Watershed Tables Watershed Parameters Pour-points and stream order Flow

Terrain - Interpolation Contours Interpolated DTM

List of Modules Contd. . . Visualizer Vector Layout: This module provides facility for visualising vector maps in 2 D and 3 D with the various layout features such as North arrow, Scale bar, Legends. Raster Layout: This module provides facility for visualising raster maps in 2 Dand 3 D. It also provides several other integrated raster utilities such as North arrow. Online Help: Keeping in view the types of users GRAM++, a detailed online help is provided for each function

GRAM++ GIS - Present status GRAM++ GIS is presently being distributed, maintained and upgraded by an IIT incubatee BHUGOL GIS Pvt Ltd. via technology transfer Within a short span of distribution GRAM++ has a rich user base in all the sectors (Educational/Government/NGO’s/Commercial) across India Based on today's need and on the basis of GRAM++ Bhugol GIS has developed a web based GIS server software named Web. GRAMServer (www. webgramserver. com)

Functionalities of Web. GRAMServer (WGS) • WGS enable organizations to publish and share geographic data, maps, and analyses over web • Web Gram Server is a server-based geographic information system (GIS) • It comes with web based services for spatial data management, visualization, and spatial analysis along with publishing the maps over the web

List of Functionalities of WGS Publish various map layers over the Web Multiple layer view Change the layer color, style and thickness for Point, Segment and Polygon type layers Zoom in/Zoom Out/Fit to window Panning Info tool Non-Spatial query and spatial query using one or data from multiple layers. Thematic Mapping with single field Thematic Mapping with two field Class based/Range based classification

List of Functionalities of WGS Dot Density based classification Symbol based classification Comparison the fields using Pie Chart representation Database display Highlighting feature from selected record Applying transparency to the layer
