MapInfo Pro & Discover within Engineering
• Share data throughout departments
• Integrate CAD modeling into a mapping environment
• Manage on project by project basis
Discover specific tools
• What can add value to MapInfo Professional from an Engineering/environmental standpoint?
Borehole/Well/Drillhole Management
• Project Data Management• Simple UI for managing all related files• Sessions can be saved linking all files used (as in workspace)
• Database Importers• gINT• WinLog• SQL Server• Oracle
2 1/D (Cross Sections)
• Most GIS solutions deal with X & Y or X, Y & Z. In some industries it is important to be able to view data in on an X,Z plane i.e. a cross section taken along a specified vector.
• This is particularly true in Earth Sciences.
• It may be geological cross sections to determine mineralisation,ground stability or geophysics sections such as resistivity to determine aquifers.

Temporal Analysis in MIP
• Sample/Test location mapped
• Results are ‘joined’to location via sample number
• Multiple element graph displays results
• Query graph in the map window
• Identify patterns and distribution of samples

Build massive topographic grids from LIDAR data wit hin the MapInfo Professional environment
LIDAR support
• Import LIDAR LAS data as attributed point objects using the new LIDAR LAS importer - for viewing in both 2D and Discover 3D
• Convert ASCII and binary LAS data into gridded surfaces using the new Large Multi-file triangulation tool
• Manipulate and analyze gridded LIDAR data with the Grid Utilitiesenhanced support for massive (1GB+) grids, including functionality such as calculating the Volume between grids, a grid’s Surface Area and roughness, or it’s Slope angles and direction.
Discover 11 enables the visualization of LIDAR data with existing vector, raster and grid data sets, as well as it’s analysis
Large Grid supportLarge Multi-file triangulation tool
Discover can build massive grids by triangulation of the following data sources
• Multiple input files
• Massive LIDAR ASCII and LAS files
• Massive MapInfo point TAB files
Large Grid supportLIDAR LAS gridding example
• Input: 2,178 individual AS PRS LAS files (16Gb on disk)
• Output Grids:
Elevation and Intensity • Total input points:
883, 066, 457 (all files)• Output Grid size: 55003 x
61 003 cells at 1m x 1m
(i.e. approx 55km by 61km)
• Gridding time: 4. 7hrs
Collected in West Virginia in 2004 for floodplain mapping
