CollabLand Software for Digitisation of Survey Maps for Computerisation of Land Records National Informatics Centre Department of Information Technology Ministry of Communications and Information Technology Government of India

CollabCAD CAD Group, National Informatics Centre had been developing a 3D CAD / CAM Software called CollabCAD http://www.collabcad.com For Indian Strategic Sectors, like: Space, Atomic Energy… Registered in US Patent Trademark Office. Based on Open Source / Libraries like: Java, Java 3D, OpenCascade , PostgreSQL CollabCAD runs on Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms.

Genesis of CollabLand Requests from states like TN, Karnataka, Kerala for: A software for drawing Survey Maps, to be incorporated in the existing software for non-spatial Land Record Data. A cost effective solution for deployment upto Taluk/Block level, based on Open-Source technology A system to provide the citizens, the Maps (FMB Extracts) of their plots on demand at an affordable price. A solution where the Government holds the technology, for further enhancement and support.

Main Objectives Viewing / Printing Survey Maps as a Citizen Service Create Survey Maps from 5-Column Ladder Data Viewing / Printing Survey Maps as a Citizen Service Perform Transactions like Sub-Divisioning & Merging Provide integrated Solution with Non-Spatial Data

Version History 1.6 (May 2008) State-wide roll-out in Tamilnadu 1.5 (Jan 2008) Commercial deployment in Kerala 1.4 (Aug 2007) Pilot run in Kerala (Total Station) 1.3 (Dec 2006) 1.2 (Jun 2006) 1.1 (Aug 2005) Pilot run in two Taluks in Tamilnadu 1.0 (Jun 2005)

Mutation and Workflow Many methods to create Sub-Division Points Offset Point, Triangle Point, Coordinates, Free Hand Interactive Creation of Sub-Division Lines Creation of Sub-Divisions by a single mouse click Merging of Sub-Divisions Facility to Compare with previous versions of Map

Mutation and Workflow Workflow with 3 customisable levels of participants : Draftsman : Performs actual Map modifications; Forwards to Head Surveyor for checking Head Surveyor : Checks modifications by Draftsman; Forwards to Tehsildar for approval Tehsildar : Finally approves the Map Modification

Database Storage and Security Spatial data stored in PostgreSQL database Accessible from anywhere in the network Facilitates easy implementation upto State level Database access only during save and restore

Database Storage and Security Role Based User Groups – Tightly coupled with a similar functionality in Database Management System Role Based Menu – Dynamically Created from Database Log maintenance of all Important events in the database. GUI Based Backup and Restore Mechanism

Traverse Map Creation Creation of Traverse Maps from GSI Files Correction of Traverse Closing Errors Creation of Maps with Traverse and Offset Plotting of Traverse map from coordinates

Mosaicing Importing of Parcel Maps onto Village Traverse Automatic and Manual Positioning of Parcel Maps Moving / Rotating Imported Parcels Automatic and Manual merging of Vertices / Sides Comparison of Area; Creation of Shape Files
