ESRI Case Study:

Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland

The Technology

MIDAS is delivered on ESRI’s ArcGIS framework and utilises ArcEditor, the Job Tracking (JTX) extension and ArcSDE from ESRI and the Field GIS extension and Graphic Tool Suite from Tadpole Cartesia.

The system was delivered through the implementation of ArcSDE software to create the spatial database repository. Interfaces were then created from this central database to the air survey and field survey business units. This involved the development of interfaces to OSNI’s existing photogrammetric system in air survey, and the development of a suite of graphic survey tools and EDM and GPS device capability built on ArcGIS in field survey.

The solution is deployed on standard desktop PC’s within OSNI and more importantly on ruggedised tablet PC’s to OSNI’s surveyors for the data capture and update of information in the field.
