3. What is MapInfo?
3Copyright 2024 | Lepton Software
What is it?
•“A complete, desktop mapping
solution for the geographic
information system (GIS) analyst to
manage, analyze, visualize, and
publish location-based data.”
•It is one of the most widely used and
recognized GIS software packages in
the world.

About MapInfo
•Initial release was 1986
(MapInfo for DOS)
•Currently shipped in 17
languages
•Over 100,000 users globally

What does it do?
•GIS involves the display and
analysis of data based on location.
•Data can be either points, lines,
and polygons (vector) or individual
pixels (raster).
•Vectors usually contain data about
individual locations while raster
files are usually imagery or analytic
views of vector information (i.e.
heatmaps).
•Bringing together different types of
information can produce insights
into a location that individual
datasets might miss

Working with raster and imagery data
     



The Reproject tool changes the projection of a raster dataset from one projection system to another.
Three Interpolation Methods:
– Nearest Neighbour, Bilinear and Bicubic

The Convert tool is used to convert an input raster dataset into Multi Resolution Raster (MRR) and other raster formats,
and this helps to optimize storage.
Convert
The Multi-Resolution Raster (.MRR) data format provides very high performance with very large grid files.


Example: Danish 1.6 meter Digital Surface Model


●Data supplied as 657 Esri Arc Grid (text) files- 130 GB
●Compressed to 39 GB in MRR format.- lossless data compression.
●File opens very quickly.
●Pan & zoom with very little lag.
●Change colors, apply hill shading nearly instantaneously.

Resampling
Usually, when zooming beyond 100%,
one can see pixelated edges, as displayed
below.

When Display Resampling Methods are enabled, raster
images will maintain a smooth and high quality appearance.
The Resample tool can be used to resize cell size for classified, numeric grids, MRR grids, etc.

14. 14Copyright 2024 | Lepton Software
The Clip tool is used to extract a portion of the input data based on user defined extent(s). The output will consist of cells that
intersect the extent(s).
The Merge tool allows multiple grids to be combined into a single output grid. The Rasterize tool converts a MapInfo TAB file
of region/polygon objects into a raster file.

15. 15Copyright 2024 | Lepton Software
Analysis
The Point Inspection tool can be used to inspect grid files at each point, return the appropriate grid value, and write the
value (or values) to a new column(s) in the point table.

The Region Statistics tool inspects the region(s) specified in an input vector file (TAB file) for a set of input raster grid files.
Data is aggregated from the grid cells into the regions.


The Line Statistics tool inspects the cell samples along the length of a line and calculates grid statistics for these cells.

Rasterize
The Rasterize tool converts a MapInfo TAB file of region/polygon objects into a raster file. The output raster file can
be of numeric or classified field type.

Line Of Sight
The Line of Sight tool is used to calculate and investigate
the intervisibility. Intervisibility is defined as the ability to
see in a direct line of sight from one position on the earth’s
surface to another, considering all the intervening terrain of
the earth's surface.

Copyright 2024 | Lepton Software
Polyline Contour - In this type, you can generate a contour polyline map where the lines are threaded through
the surface raster.
Region Contour - In this type, you can generate a contour region map where regions are created for cells
falling in specified range. You can define a contour region interval and style in the Contour dialog box.

Polygonise
This feature allows you to convert a raster into a vector containing closed polygon features. The Polygonise tool takes a
raster as an input and joins adjacent cells based on the selected polygonization method to form vector features.

Heatmap - Analyzing Point Data using Heatmaps
Heat maps show the density of points in an area as a raster. Heatmaps are used to visualize distributions of dense point
data and to show locations where a higher frequency of activity occurs.
