Envitia Announces Release of MapRite Capture Tool 1.1 – the Ultimate Data Capture and Maintenance Tool

Envitia, a leading provider of Geospatial Information Systems and Solutions releases MapRite Capture Tool version 1.1.

Envitia’s MapRite Capture Tool 1.1 enhances its well known automated facility for the generation of BLPU (Basic Land and Property Unit) boundaries, with a built-in feature to maintain the dataset as additional Change Only Update map data is applied, providing critical impact analysis.

MapRite Capture Tool automatically generates the polygon extents with associated TOIDs (Topographic Identifiers) and associated confidence levels. Confidence metrics are reported detailing any reason for uncertainty; in keeping with familiar MapRite methodology, results are colour coded for easy assimilation.

This latest version contains several additional components:

NEW - Continuous BLPU maintenance and update process

NEW - Automated update of historic BLPU datasets

NEW - Sophisticated property allocation

NEW - Enhanced metadata for export in preparation for INSPIRE

NEW - Direct comparison with the latest imagery layers

NEW - Adoption of the parent/child rules of BS7666

A major step forward for our solution is the incorporation of an automated maintenance utility. The software will highlight to the user only the new and changed property boundaries, whilst updating the TOID cross references from the base map. An intuitive QA mechanism has been added for reviewing the updated BLPUs.

Many organisations have already captured the property boundary dataset, the latest version of the software incorporates a function that allows the user to import their legacy polygons, cross reference the polygons with the associated TOIDs, then utilise the automated maintenance facility.

Due to user feedback the geometric algorithm has been enhanced to include the splitting of the MasterMapTM TOIDs. Aerial photography can be utilised to assist with the editing of ambiguous areas, with the new ability to alter the transparency for ease of use.

For results where manual intervention is unavoidable, additional editing tools have been incorporated within version 1.1; a ‘glue’ function to pick up whole MasterMapTM TOIDs, plus a replace polygon tool, facilitating rapid review/editing and ease of use.

We have successfully completed these important product enhancements based upon customer feedback and our own product roadmap and are keen to share the result with you. Please contact sales@envitia.com
