Cadcorp announces OS Positional Accuracy Improvement software

The challenges presented in Great Britain, by the Ordnance Survey Positional Accuracy Improvement Programme (PAI), have prompted Cadcorp to develop Cadcorp SIS OS PAI Manager, an easy to use application which allows users to perform data transformations based on OS PAI 'link file' parameters. This will be available with Cadcorp SIS Map Modeller V6.1 to be shipped in late 2003.

Cadcorp SIS OS PAI Manager provides end users with a mechanism to ‘correct’ previously captured data derived from OS Land-Line, or other base mapping, based upon the analysis of OS link files and their own data holdings. Cadcorp SIS OS PAI Manager uses fuzzy logic to cope with geometrical vertices that have no direct offset within OS supplied link files. Users can configure the transformation operations on their derived data in order to obtain the best possible results. Link file data can also be augmented interactively where OS transformation data is not supplied.

Cadcorp SIS OS PAI Manager is a stand-alone application and is provided free of charge with Cadcorp SIS Map Modeller. Cadcorp's commitment to the OS PAI further enforces Cadcorp SIS's reputation as the ideal desktop GIS data capture environment.

Cadcorp SIS OS PAI Manager will be previewed at GeoSolutions 2003, Earls Court, London.
