XYit: Universal Tool for Data Capture

XYit is a powerful tool by Geomatix Ltd. UK that converts data in images into XY values, allowing you to easily work with data in a spreadsheet. It also accurately positions XY data onto images, maps, and plans. Suitable image files include electronic documents, scanned documents, digital photographs, and more. Use XYit for graphs, maps, plans, and photographs in various fields such as finance, science, engineering, and more. Examples of its applications include creating waypoints for GPS, calculating coordinates from maps, and measuring objects from photographs.

  1. XYit The universal tool for data capture By Geomatix Ltd UK

  2. (8.4,15.2) (5.2,14.2) What does XYit do? (4.6,12.2) (3.5,9.2) • Suitable images are maps and plans • It converts data in images into XY values • So you can put the XY values in a spreadsheet • XYit converts the points into their original XY values • It also does the opposite, correctly positioning your XY data onto an image, map or plan

  3. Suitable images files are... • Electronic Documents, e.g. from Internet • Scanned Documents • Digital Photographs • The computer Screen itself • In any of over 40 formats • including BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIF etc

  4. Suitable images are.. • Graphs • Maps & Plans • Photographs.

  5. Graphs • Financial • Values of price against date • E.g. Stock price graph • Scientific • X-Y Values • Engineering • Linear or Logarithmic Axes

  6. Maps & Plans • Site or Survey Plans • Land maps e.g. UK Ordnance Survey • Nautical Mercator Charts eg UKHO Admiralty

  7. Maps & Plans…Examples • Creating Waypoints for a GPS • Calculating footpath co-ordinates from a map • Making a Passage Plan from a Nautical Chart • Creating cable course files from old cable plans • Finding the position of objects on old maps • Determining the dimensions (area, perimeter) of land plots

  8. Aerial Photographs • Plot sizes / field area • Find boundary positions • Field perimeter length • Position of an isolated object • Finding the width of entrance

  9. Photographic Analysis • With XYit you can take measurements from a photograph of an object in profile ... • Example 1 Picture of Building - • Measure dimensions, length of roof etc • Example 2 Picture of Vehicle- • Measuring Dimensions, Area, Perimeter etc

  10. How does it work? 1. Calibration XYit needs to know 3 or more calibration values so that it can work out the real values at any point 2. Data Capture Next tell XYit the points which you want to convert This can be done manually or automatically 3. Export Save the data to a file or to a spreadsheet

  11. (9,90) (10,100) (0,100) Step 1. Image Calibration (1,80) This is very easy • Either Click the mouse on 3 known points • And then supply their true values • Or use 2, 3 or 4 corners • Then enter into XYit the true values at these corners (8,1) • From then on, XYit will display real xy coordinates • With maps this is called 'Georeferencing' (0,0) (10,0)

  12. (8.4,15.2) (5.2,14.2) Step 2. Data Capture (4.6,12.2) (3.5,9.2) • Next tell XYit the points you want to convert • Either by mouse • Or it will automatically trace lines for you • Using the information provided at calibration, XYit automatically works out their true values • You can edit the points, save them or view them later

  13. Step 3. Data Export • Finally you can save the data to a file • Or to the clipboard for transfer to another application • The data is in plain ASCII tab delimited format

  14. XYit • We hope this presentation has helped you to decide whether XYit is suitable for your purposes • If you still need to see more, why not download the free demo version from www.geomatix.net • Or feel free to email us for more information • Thank you for your interest
