Digitizing features is one of the most time consuming and tedious aspect of compiling GIS data, but also one of the most vital ingredients in creating your GIS database. Ard Geographics saves you from this grueling task and allows you to better invest your efforts in other areas.

Ard Geographics extracts vector features from topographic maps, satellite imagery, and aerial photography.

Available layers include:
• Contours
• Roads (Classifications Available)
• Hydrography
• Buildings (Points and Footprints)
• Railroads
• Political Boundaries
• Any other visible feature

Each layer is output in a vector file format, enabling easy integration with original imagery, maps and other geo-data. Ard Geographics also offers feature extraction from satellite imagery. Contact us today for more information.
