A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a technological framework that utilizes a Geospatial Database and employs geographical model analysis techniques. It offers diverse spatial and dynamic geographic data over time, supporting geographical research and decision-making processes.
Developed by SuperMap Software Co., Ltd., SuperMap GIS is a comprehensive GIS platform. It includes Desktop GIS, Service GIS, Component GIS, and Mobile GIS platforms, along with tools for spatial data tasks. With continuous innovation, SuperMap GIS has become a respected brand, meeting diverse industry needs in China and fostering secondary development companies.
Functions and Structure
GIS involves modern geographic intelligence with geospatial processes like visualization, analysis, and decision-making. It is structured into four levels—geographic visualization, decision-making, design, and control—forming a pyramid where complexity increases upward while maturity decreases.
Integration of AI promises further technological advancement and value creation in geographic intelligence.
Enables gathering, organizing, analyzing, and presenting diverse geographic data with spatial and dynamic attributes.
Utilizes computer systems for spatial data management and software to simulate traditional or specialized geographic analyses on spatial data.
Allows for swift, accurate, and thorough spatial positioning and dynamic analysis of complex geographic systems.
Technological Advancements
3D GIS
Advances in GIS, computer graphics, VR, and surveying have made 3D GIS a major focus of research. The past decade has brought rich 3D data models to the market, incorporating diverse sources like Oblique Photogrammetry, BIM, and Point Cloud. These are enhanced by technologies such as WebGL, VR/AR, and 3D printing, solidifying 3D GIS as a prominent field.
AI GIS
Artificial Intelligence GIS (AI GIS) combines AI and GIS technologies. The system comprises data, domain library, framework, and function. It involves GeoAI (spatial analysis with AI), AI for GIS (enhancing GIS functions with AI), and GIS for AI (processing AI results using GIS)
Big Data GIS
The focus is on managing emerging spatial big data and improving classical spatial data computation. The big data GIS system includes storage management, spatial analysis, streaming data processing, and visualization. Traditional GIS is upgraded with IT big data technology for enhanced performance in storage, processing, analysis, and rendering of classic spatial data.
Cloud GIS
Cloud Native GIS optimizes GIS for the cloud, using microservices and containers for efficient, automated management, resulting in flexible, real-time, and stable systems.
Cross-Platform GIS
It employs shared GIS components for multiple devices, ensuring consistent performance across various terminals. It offers uniform data handling, analysis, and connectivity, enhancing interaction with diverse system environments.
The SuperMap Solution
SuperMap GIS 2022 includes Cloud GIS server, Edge GIS server, Terminal GIS, etc., and provides two delivery methods of offline deployment and online services (SuperMap Online).
In SuperMap GIS 11i(2022), SuperMap further innovates the five technology systems of GIS platform software (BitDC). They are big data GIS, AI(artificial intelligence) GIS, new 3D GIS, distributed GIS and cross platform GIS.
