CAD: computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the use of computer technology to aid in the design and particularly the drafting (technical drawing and engineering drawing) of a part or product.

Cadastral Mapping: This is a comprehensive register of the metes-and-bounds real property of a country. A cadastre commonly includes details of the ownership, the tenure, the precise location (some include GPS coordinates), the dimensions (and area), the cultivations, if rural and the value of individual parcels of land.

COGO mapping: A method of defining geometric features through the input of bearing and distance measurements. Coordinate Geometry (COGO) functions are typically used by land surveyors to enter traverses around spatial features such as parcels, to calculate precise locations and boundaries using distances and bearings from reference points, and to define curves using a point location, radius, arc-length, and so on.

Custom Mapping: Design, create and map as per the customized actual specifications provided.

Colour Balancing: Color balance is the global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors).

Civil Engineering Survey: Civil Engineering Survey involved in every stage of the project from initial concept through design and construction, to monitoring the condition and performance of the completed structure.

Civil Drawings: Civil Engineering diagrams in the field of Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Interior Designing, Environmental Designing, Landscape, etc.

Digital mapping: The process of storing and displaying map data in digital form (to store and retrieve on a computer).

Digital Photogrammetry: Digital Photogrammetry is the first remote sensing technology ever developed, in which geometric properties about objects are determined from photographic images.

Data Collection: Survey Data gathered from surveys, or input from several independent or networked locations via data capture, data entry, or data logging.

Defense and Military Mapping: Military maps generally cover the trans border area and other remote locations wherein detailed ground survey is not possible. Military map creation/ updation is generally from high resolution satellite imagery. Using a satellite image, digitizing the features (Digital Map) and publishing the paper map has little value for military requirements.

DEM / DTM: A digital elevation model (DEM) is a digital representation of ground surface topography or terrain. It is also widely known as a digital terrain model (DTM). A DEM can be represented as a raster (a grid of squares) or as a triangular irregular network.

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS): This is an enhancement to Global Positioning System that uses a network of fixed, ground-based reference stations to broadcast the difference between the positions indicated by the satellite systems and the known fixed positions.

Electrical drawing: Electrical Engineering Wiring Diagrams contains the main source of information that include highly specific, detailed information of each piece of an electrical system, as well as its size, its function, and what it is connected to.

Electrical Survey: Survey of underground utilities and buried structures such as underwater or underground pipelines.

Forest mapping: Map showing forest vegetation, locating different kinds of forest vegetation like mangrove forest, scrubs, open forest and dense forest.
