• Graphic representation of spatial relationships and distributions;
• Improving the ability to analyze, process, and display geoinformation data;
• Automation of mapping and cartographic analysis in management systems;
• Obtaining expert decisions in graphic form in real-time and separate time modes.

The main objective of creating (updating) a digital topographic map is to produce cartographic products that closely correspond to the actual state of the terrain, created in accordance with current regulatory and technical documents and the Technical Task.

The basis for creating/updating maps also includes requirements for surveying works in the development of mineral deposits, construction of mining enterprises, and use of subsoil for other purposes. The creation and updating of digital cartographic bases of various scales are required to bring their content in line with the current state of the terrain. Topographic maps at a scale of 1:25,000 are actively used starting from the stage of designing the field. These maps allow designing roads and major structures. Existing objects, elements of hydrography, and vegetation that may hinder work can be accurately determined. Maps at a scale of 1:25,000 are also used to tie various engineering objects, to form the route of a pipeline, and to determine the placement of a well network in the area of interest. The maps at a scale of 1:25,000 show objects such as industrial enterprises, mines, quarries, drilling rigs, oil and gas wells and fields, oil and gas pipelines, fuel depots, etc. However, maps at a scale of 1:25,000 are not sufficient for designing and constructing infrastructure facilities at deposits. For the design and construction of infrastructure facilities at deposits, topographic maps at a scale of 1:10,000 are used. The accuracy of these maps allows for precise tying of structures on the ground and distribution of all roads, both motor and pedestrian. During the development, arrangement, and operation of oil and gas fields, continuous construction, reconstruction, and dismantling of production facilities and engineering communications are carried out. Therefore, there is a need to update topographic maps (plans) reflecting existing and planned facilities. DTMs of scales 1:50,000, 1:100,000, and 1:200,000 are intended for studying and evaluating the terrain, for measurements and calculations during the design and construction of military engineering structures and facilities, and for preparation, management, and determination of coordinates for starting positions in military units. DTMs of scales 1:500,000 and 1:1,000,000 are intended for studying and evaluating the general nature of the terrain for operational planning and are also used in aviation as aeronautical charts.
