Survey Management System v1.2 Overview

Survey Management System v1.2 is now live on the QGIS Plugin Repository. This video gives a full overview of the new release — what it does, how the AutoCAD DXF import works, and how the AI extraction layer fills in survey plan metadata automatically. The plugin is built specifically for Nigerian cadastral surveying firms. It replaces paper registers and physical filing with a searchable, spatially-enabled PostgreSQL/PostGIS database — and now connects directly to your existing AutoCAD workflow without requiring you to re-enter data that already exists in your plan files. --- WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN THIS VIDEO - Installing the plugin from the QGIS Plugin Manager - First-run setup wizard — installs dependencies and creates the database automatically - Creating a survey record and entering metadata - Importing an AutoCAD DXF plan file — beacon coordinates, traverse legs, bearings, distances, and title block metadata extracted automatically - AI metadata extraction — plan number, owner, surveyor, date, LGA, and state read from the plan title block with no API key required - Traverse computation with NIS 1:5000 precision ratio reporting - Document upload with MD5 integrity verification - Global search — retrieving a record in under 2 seconds - Plotting survey boundaries on the QGIS map canvas --- KEY FEATURES ✔ AutoCAD DXF/DWG import — no re-entry of existing plan data ✔ AI-powered title block extraction — works out of the box, no account needed ✔ Traverse closure computation against the NIS 1:5000 standard ✔ PostgreSQL/PostGIS spatial database ✔ Document management with 50-year archival integrity verification ✔ Boundary conflict detection via spatial queries ✔ Role-based access: superuser, surveyor, viewer ✔ Full audit trail of every action --- FREE AND OPEN SOURCE Search for Survey Management System in the QGIS Plugin Manager to install directly, or download from the links below. 🔗 QGIS Plugin Repository: plugins.qgis.org/plugins/surveymanagement/ 🔗 Source code: github.com/Sochukwumaobim/surveymanagement 📧 Contact: [email protected] --- REQUIREMENTS - QGIS 3.0 or later (free — qgis.org) - PostgreSQL 12+ with PostGIS extension (free — postgresql.org) - Windows 10/11 or Linux --- ABOUT Developed by Ugwu Chukwuma, Centre for Geodesy and Geoinformatics, HFT Stuttgart, Germany.
