Geospatial annotation · documented GIS QA

Human-Verified Geospatial Annotation and GIS QA

For teams with captured imagery, point clouds, model proposals, or draft asset data that still needs qualified review, schema conformance, and an inspectable GIS delivery package.

Who it's for

Built for teams drowning in imagery.

Three kinds of teams hire us. If you recognize your own workflow here, we are probably a fit.

01 · Mapping companies

Backlogs of imagery, inconsistent labels, and GIS outputs that need rework before they're usable.

You get schema-conformant feature layers, defined classes, QA notes, and agreed export formats for downstream review.

02 · Mobile-mapping primes

Street-level, LiDAR, and video capture piling up faster than you can extract from it.

Supported roadway assets are reviewed against source evidence, with spatial checks and exception flags tied to the relevant record or location.

03 · Infrastructure & DOT teams

Asset inventories and safety reviews stall the moment imagery becomes manual review labor.

You get an inspectable inventory package for supported assets, with limitations separated from observations that require field or authoritative-source verification.

Scope and controls

From source evidence to an acceptance-ready GIS package

Image-space labels identify what appears in a frame; real-world GIS coordinates require positioning evidence, a defined CRS, and validation. Attributes such as underground ownership, reflectivity, or field condition are not inferred when the source cannot support them.

Accepted inputs

  • Street-level or aerial imagery
  • LiDAR or point-cloud views
  • Model proposals or existing annotations
  • Draft GIS layers and asset records

Supported visible assets

  • Roadway signs and pavement markings
  • Hydrants, manholes, poles, guardrails, and curb ramps
  • Trees or vegetation when the source and requested taxonomy support observation
  • Other infrastructure features confirmed during scoping

GIS QA controls

  • CRS and datum handling
  • Geometry type, position, and topology
  • Required attributes and ontology
  • Duplicate, omission, provenance, exception, and acceptance-sample review

Acceptance package

  • Agreed GIS or annotation files
  • Schema or data dictionary
  • QA summary and exception list
  • Provenance, limitations, and acceptance notes

Automation with focused human review

Repeatable candidate generation, format checks, and rule-based validation can be automated. Qualified reviewers concentrate on ambiguous geometry, consequential attributes, taxonomy conflicts, omissions, duplicates, and exceptions that require judgment.

Delivery sample

The exact format your team receives.

A clearly labeled demonstration of annotated frames, a representative feature record, and a QA trail. It illustrates the delivery structure; it is not a client result or production-accuracy claim.

Ladder crosswalk

DEMO FRAME_00842.JPG · REVIEWED

Ladder crosswalk

Image observation linked to a representative GIS record; field-only condition attributes are not inferred.

Fire hydrant

DEMO FRAME_00843.JPG · REVIEWED

Fire hydrant

Visible asset classification with a review flag where real-world position or ownership needs another source.

Regulatory stop sign

DEMO FRAME_00847.JPG · REVIEWED

Regulatory stop sign

Visible class reviewed; condition and reflectivity require agreed evidence and are not assumed from this frame.

Delivery workflow

How a pilot works.

We start small. Once the schema and QA results are clear, the same rules scale across your full inventory.

01

Send sample data

You share imagery, video frames, LiDAR views, or an existing GIS layer with the assets you need extracted.

02

Lock schema and QA rules

Our team confirms classes, geometry, attributes, acceptance criteria, and delivery format before production starts.

03

Annotate and review

Our team labels features, validates geometry, enriches attributes, and flags uncertain cases through multi-stage QA.

04

Deliver GIS-ready output

You receive files, QA notes, an exception log, and a handoff package ready for mapping, AI, or asset workflows.

Pilot timing and acceptance criteria are confirmed after the sample, schema, and review rules are understood.

Pilot and delivery scope

Agree on acceptance before production begins.

Start with a bounded sample, lock the schema and review rules, then choose a follow-on delivery model only after both teams inspect the result.

Pilot

Sample pilot

Scopedto the sample

Provide representative source data, target classes, required attributes, coordinate requirements, and acceptance rules. GSS returns an agreed sample package for review.

Ongoing capacity

Follow-on delivery

Definedafter pilot review

Batching, review depth, turnaround, change control, and reporting are documented from the accepted pilot rather than promised before the data is examined.

Acceptance criteria

Define geometry, attribute, taxonomy, duplicate, omission, and sampling rules before production.

Inspectable exceptions

Ambiguous or unsupported observations remain visible in an exception list rather than being silently guessed.

Delivery evidence

The handoff can include a schema or data dictionary, QA summary, provenance, limitations, and agreed output files.

Change control

Material changes to sources, ontology, or acceptance rules are reviewed before they alter the production workflow.

Start with a pilot.

Send us your data type and volume. We'll review the details and respond with the next step for scoping.

Implementation stack

Technologies We Work With

We choose the stack around the job: browser maps for decision surfaces, spatial databases for reliable data, Python and GIS libraries for analysis, and annotation tools when imagery needs reviewer-ready labels.
