 People no longer ready to accept limits or outdated technology.

 High Spatial Resolution Satellites in constellation IRS-1C, IRS-1D, IRS-P3. Sp. Res.
23.25/5.8 meters on PAN Chromatic.

 IRS-1C, IRS-1D, IRS-P3 is by far the best Constellation in orbit (in civilian sector) after
the early failure of EARLYBIRD-1 (of Earthwatch Incorp. & Hitachi) having a Sp. Res. 3
meters.

 Our data being downloaded at USA, Germany, Dubai, Japan, Korea and Thailand.

 New Earth Stations for downloading IRS data coming up in near future in Saudi Arabia,
Equador , Australia and few other countries in Europe and Latin America.

 Coming years will see some high end sensors from ISRO like IRS-P4 (OCEANSAT), IRS-
P5 (CARTOSAT) & IRS-P6 (RESOURCESAT).

 This will bring a seachange in current Geomatic Applications.

 GROWTH RATE OF REMOTE SENSING &
GIS SERVICES
 Since the introduction of LANDSAT Series in early 1970’s the opportunities and
applications in Remote Sensing & GIS has grown manifold in the last 25 years.

 Use of technology is catching up amongst Decision makers in various Govt. & Non-
Govt. organisations.

 Pilot projects already started for Urban Planning in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Lucknow,
Ahmedabad & Jaipur.

 Union Govt. has announced Rs. 30,000 crores investment in next five years for building
National Highways.

 Ministry of Rural & Employment has allocated Rs. 3200 crores for updating Cadastral
Maps at village level under 9th plan period.

 30 lakhs maps & 168 million Households to be mapped and updated in above project.

 Facility Management (FM) is estimated to grow by 50% each year from its present Rs.
400 crore per annum.

 India registered a growth rate of 44% last year and for next FIVE YEARS a growth rate of
35% is projected against world average of 30%.
 VALUE ADDED SERVICES : PRESENT &
FUTURE TRENDS
 Value added services in Remote Sensing & GIS has grown to new emerging sectors from NATURAL RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT & TARGETTING to :

 AUTOMATED MAPPING /FACILITY MANAGEMENT (AM/FM)

 RAPID MASS SYSTEM/EXPRESS HIGHWAYS

 GPS FOR LAND & RESOURCE SURVEYS/VEHICLE TRACKING AND NAVIGATIONAL TOOLS.

 INSURANCE SECTOR

 REAL ESTATE

 MARKET PLANNING FOR CONSUMER DURABLES

 TELECOM SECTORS

 OIL & GAS PIPELINES

 DISTRIBUTION NETWORKING (ELECTRICITY/WATER SUPPLY)

 DISASTER MANAGEMENT (OIL/CHEMICAL SPILLS, GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION, FOREST FIRES,

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD BESIDES NATURAL DISASTERS)

 UTILITIES

 PLANNING & MANAGEMENT OF AGRO-FORESTRY & AGRO HORTICULTURE

CREATION OF GEODATABASE

 Prime activity of majority of vendors is

Vectorisation of theme maps & creation of geo
databases, which is the backbone of any
project.

 Our per unit/per capita infrastructural cost is

nearly 1/7th when compared with western world.

 With the availability of large infrastructural

facilities, high quality/low cost manpower in
India, this is a single largest target area.

 Huge data conversion opportunities available in

Western region.

 Our Unique Selling Point (USP) High

Quality/Low Cost/Timely Turnover.

DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL
 AUTOMATED MAPPING / FACILITY
MANAGEMENT
 Other key sector for Value Added Ddata Products (VADP’s).

 Present turnover of around Rs. 400 crore per annum.

 Projected growth upto 250% (upto Rs. 1000 crore) in next 3 years.

 Facility management (FM)

 Support

 Plan

 Update

 Display of civic facilities

 DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL

DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL

 CADASTRAL LEVEL MAPPING /
VILLAGE LEVEL GIS
 Our existing cadastral maps dates back to 80-90 years.

 Prepared for assessing revenues on the basis of land parcel area, quality of land and output generated.

 Urgent need to validate and prepare new sets of Cadastral maps for updation of many cultural features due
to rapid industrialisation.

 For microlevel planning :

 GPS controlled RS/AP based 1:2000 to 1:4000 cadastral maps.

 Uplinking of Socio-Economic data base with each land parcel.

 VILLAGE LEVEL GIS
 For microlevel planning/management (following data should be integrated)

 Ground Infirmation
• Area
 Roads/Tracks/Foot paths
 Water bodies (dry/perennial)
 Habitations
 Power/Telecom lines
 Vegetation
 Topographical feature
 Canal
 Landuse
 Agricultural (Irrigated/Non-irrigated)
 Forest covered
 Fallow land
 Wasteland
 Population (socio-economic)
 Water (Drinking/Irrigation)
 Infrastructural/Health/Education facilities
 Recreational centres
 Parks
 Sports ground
 Police Stations
 Schools
 Primary health centres

 VADP – Detailed hard & soft copy in the term of Utility Map per Village
 GPS BASED LAND SURVEYS

 GPS has emerged as a very essential, simple and effective tool for Land survey, parcel (cadastral) apart
from excellent navigational tool.
 US Govt./Defence deptt. Controlled constellation of 24 high orbitting (more than 20,000 kms.) satellites (21
satellites for data + 3 for backup)

 Tremendous Scope for Land Surveys
 Immediate target sector for VALUE ADDITION INDUSTRY

 GPS Types
 Code Based - easy to use, mobile extensively used for thematic/resource mapping. Post
processing required.

 Carrier Phase – Very accurate (upto Sub cm) phase differential. No post processing required in
