• Calibration of maps to be used with IRIS, AGIS or PGIS
• Survey area file creation
• UTM, Lambert and Universal Polar Stereographic projections
• Flight path examination

Any topographical  map or digital image that is used as an underlay in any data acquisition system (DAS) or navigation system needs to contain all necessary information for proper positioning during the real time operation. The PEIConvert software allows the user to connect the coordinates on the map with the coordinates that are being received from GPS/Glonass navigation receivers.

The user can choose the type of projection for the map coordinates. UTM, Lambert and UPS projections are supported. A calibration procedure can be applied to the map stored in BMP format. In order to apply the calibration procedure, the user needs to define several coordinate points. After the calibration process is complete, the positioning information is stored directly into the BMP file.    

There is a video demonstration available which explains how to use this software. Click here to watch.

The survey area is defined by entering the area vertex coordinate values (latitude/longitude or meters) as numerical values in a table or by placing the polygon corner points directly on the map with the mouse.

     The user must define the survey line master point and spacing and the tie line master point and spacing. It is also possible to define special lines and waypoints.

     All the position data is stored into the area file in ASCII format and can be used with the Data Acquisition system. If there is no map available, all preparation can be done without a map.
