Geographic Information Systems - Products & Services

Prior to the introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the location and access of valuable data was time intensive. This situation has dramatically improved with the implementation of map-based systems for the maintenance and management of data.

MapCARD colour ramping with colour image beneath Hampton Data Services’ (Hampton’s) GIS department is continually reviewing its range of highly specialised proprietary software products and services in order to keep at the forefront of innovations in this marketplace. Our investment in the future of GIS guarantees you a competitive advantage through enhanced data access, integrity and presentation.

Key Services Offered include: map raster display and vectorisation overlay of data and rectification large scale data conversion seamless mosaicing satellite image processing and thematic interpretation seismic shotpoint data handling 2D and 3D displays, fly-through of simulated landscapes data manipulation and enhancement GIS, remote sensing and digital image processing, integrated modelling for resource surveys digital photogrammetry and cadastral mapping up to 1:4000 scale data acquisition and capture using GPS (differential), interactive GIS data and mapping up to 1:1000 scale (sub centimetre accuracy) digitization of spatial datasets related to AM, FM and NRMS data retrieval and archiving natural hazard analysis - prediction and mitigation
