Digital Transfer of Air Photo Mapping (API)

EMA has extensive experience in transferring information from airphoto overlays into GIS format.  We use photogrammetric software that corrects for camera and terrain distortion.  The result is a clean, fully attributed GIS layer of the API information.

GIS Asset Database Management

Our high-end GIS software and GIS operators provide asset management organisations with customised services to update and maintain their spatial databases.  Our track record includes services to regional water management organisations, statewide plantation companies, and statewide fire hazard management bodies.

Data and Image Modelling & Analysis

Data or images can be modelled and analysed, the resultant information can be used for strategic or specific management planning.  Fire Hazard Planning can be supported by data analysis and modelling, combining variables such as vegetation, fuel loads, topography and infrastructure.  Using aerial imagery, plantations or crops can be analysed and mapped for health/disease/infestation, or quantitative analysis.  Modelling topography for flood events can be applied to town and land use planning, and has been used for insurance estimates.

Develop and Supply Hardcopy Maps

Information provided visually on a map is worth a thousand words - and is easier to understand.  We supply customised hardcopy maps up to A0 size, and in digital format for insertion in documents or publications.  We develop maps for high quality display purposes, strategic planning, or highly detailed operations maps.
