Intelligent, automated conflation technology

New Version 2.0 is now available
Contact us for a live demonstration

ConfleX is a first of its kind conflation tool which uses artificial intelligent (AI) technology to automatically transfer attributes from a source to a target map. The current version of ConfleX supports conflation of both homogenous and heterogenous data sources. The source and the target need not overlay or be topologically identical. For each segment, the system's intelligence engine, generates multiple candidates for assignment. Each candidate is then compared with the source by looking at the individual line but also its connecting segments. Using this technique, ConfleX is able to achieve match rates of over 95% accuracy.

ConfleX does NOT use iterative rubber-sheeting to merge the data from Source to Target. Rubber sheeting requires the manual input of control points and works only in situations where the error between source and target are evenly distributed. In a majority of conflation projects, the source and the target do not overlay and rubber sheeting of one part will cause the adjacent sections to move out of alignment, resulting in endless hours of manual adjustment before the automated conflation can proceed.

ConfleX's AI engine does not require any human interaction and can be started immediately after loading the source and target files. Once the automated conflation is completed, the system provides extensive tools for review and quality control of the assigned features.

Where the source data is more complete than the target, the target data set can be augmented with features from the source data. Additionally, the software can be setup to identify directionality of roads based on right-left even-odd address ranges.

ConfleX is a standalone application and does not require any base GIS Software. ConfleX supports multiple data sources including: ESRI Shape, Intergraph DGN, and AutoCAD DWG and DXF formats.
