Datum Workstation

View
Precisely overlay geodata layers in a variety of data types and a multitude of Coordinate Reference Systems. Include layers in a wide variety of external formats without importing. Overlay your geodata on Bing Maps imagery and maps or on geodata layers published on the Internet as web tilesets, Web Map Service (WMS), and ArcIMS.

Edit
Create, alter, and update your geospatial data in a powerful and robust environment.

GIS
Full-featured GIS that integrates imagery along with geometric data including vector, CAD, shape, pinmap, and TIN formats. Maintain relational database attributes for vector, CAD, and shape layers.

Styling Map Data
Use the attributes attached to geometric elements to create color theme maps or graduated symbol maps for visualisation and analysis.

Spatial Databases
Create and maintain spatial data and attributes in a relational database. Link to geodata in spatial database formats such as MySQL Spatial, PostGIS, and Oracle Spatial.

Network Analysis
Solve routing and logistical problems on a network of connected lines in a vector object.

3D Visualization
Full suite of 3D perspective visualization tools to aid you in viewing, analyzing and understanding your geospatial data.

Stereo View
View geospatial data in stereoscopic 3D (stereo) using a terrain layer and any popular stereo viewing device.

LIDAR
View, classify, and analyze LIDAR point clouds containing millions of elevation points.

Terrain Operations
Tools for analyzing and processing digital elevation model (DEM) raster objects, including Topographic Properties, Viewshed, Cut and Fill Analysis, Watershed, and Surface Modeling.

Watershed Analysis
Model the movement of water over the land surface using a digital elevation model (DEM) raster. The terrain is divided into separate watersheds and the stream network for each is determined.

Surface Modeling
Construct and transform representations of natural terrains and mathematical surfaces from 3D information. Fast and efficient Surface Fitting, Contouring, and Triangulation operations produce Digital Elevation Model rasters (DEMs), contour lines, and triangulated irregular networks (TINs), respectively.

Georeference
Automatically generate hundreds to thousands of control points using a reference image of the same area; manually add tie points in side-by-side and overlay display modes using a reference image; place control points with coordinates from GPS devices.

Geodata Formats
Import and export an unsurpassed number of raster, geometric, and database file formats; convert between data types; and link to relational databases. Direct display of popular formats including GeoTIFF, JPEG2000, PNG, MrSID, ECW, shapefile, File Geodatabase, Oracle Spatial, DGN, TAB, DXF, DWG.

Geospatial Analysis
Advanced processes for compiling, analyzing, and interpreting the geospatial characteristics and database attributes of your geodata layers and creating higher-level products from them.

Batch & Custom Processing
The Job Processing system lets you schedule processes to run at your convenience. Datum Workstation's powerful geospatial scripting language, SML, provides a wide range of options for custom display and processing of your geospatial data.

Image Processing
Display, create, and process images
of any type and up to terrabytes in size. Enhance, combine, filter, rectify, reproject, mosaic, and classify your geospatial images.

Image Classification
Automated unsupervised and supervised multispectral image classification with extensive post-classification analysis tools.

Feature Mapping
Interactively classify multispectral images by using your visual analysis skills and knowledge to guide powerful automated classification tools.

Hyperspectral Analysis
Specialized tools to fully exploit the spectral range and spectral resolution of your hyperspectral images.

Publishing Geodata
Includes Geomashups, Web Tilesets, Printing, Datum GeoView, Plan Review.

Publish Web Maps
Web tilesets structures are specifically designed for geospatial data layers of any size and detail to be used efficiently over the internet or your local network.

Map Design
Map design tools to layout and style electronic or printed maps of any complexity at a designated map scale.

Mix Local & Web Data
Use web-based geospatial data as a reference as you view, georeference, edit, or create local data. View Bing Maps, web tilesets, Web Map Service (WMS), and ArcIMS layers in any view.
