Datum Workstation
Advanced Geospatial Analysis and Image Processing Software

What is Datum Workstation?

Datum Workstation offers a fully integrated suite for geographic information system (GIS) tasks, image processing, terrain modeling, and geospatial analysis. Designed for professionals working with map, imagery, terrain, and database-driven data, it supports the complete project lifecycle from data creation and editing to advanced analysis, visualization, and web publication. Scripting capabilities allow automation of geospatial workflows across local and network environments, enabling efficient processing of large datasets.

This workstation facilitates 2D, stereo, and 3D viewing for diverse data types, with special tools for terrain modeling, LIDAR visualization, and surface analysis. Users can visualize, analyze, and interpret large aerial or satellite images, perform detailed classifications, and create web-ready datasets for global sharing. Integration with public basemaps and compatibility with desktop, mobile, and web platforms make it a versatile choice for a wide range of fields including agriculture, environmental monitoring, disaster management, urban planning, and beyond.
