Poboljšanje učinkovitosti kod ekološke izmjere koristeći QField

Autor Ryan Bell, GIS Consultant, Delta-Simons Environmental Consultancy

Cilj

To conduct ecological surveying more efficiently than has been previously achieved through traditional non-digital techniques, using QField as a medium for standardised and flexible field data collection.

Zahtjevi Projekta

To facilitate effective field work, regular consultation with the Ecology team is required to ensure that QField projects are prepared appropriately. Firstly, basemaps comprising aerial imagery and proposed development plans are prepared by georeferencing and constructing pyramids in QGIS. Point, line and polygon vector layers are then created to support digitisation and associated data collection. Using a range of widgets, attribute fields are customised to meet the requirements of the Ecology team. These include:

Stil

drop-down list of selectable styles tailored for conducting ecological surveys

Skala

drop-down list of selectable scales for point and line feature

Info

prostor za unos opisa značajke

Slika

lokacija u koju će se spremati snimljene fotografije

Geometrija

contains self-populated geometry values, e.g. area, perimeter, length

Vremenska oznaka

records the time and date that a feature was created/last modified

Rezultat

Delta-Simons are saving approximately 40% of the time previously consumed by traditional ecological field data collection. QField has significantly improved the ecological surveying workflow by:

• Removing the need to recreate GIS outputs from physical drawings
• Reducing the overall amendments required for GIS outputs
• Improving communication channels (see Figure 1.)
• Poboljšanje točnosti i kvalitete podataka
