Geospatial information transforming industries Enhancing and transforming technological

Geospatial information transforming industries

“Enhancing” and “transforming” technological changes Enhancing: Provides significant incremental benefits but does not alter underlying roles & relationships within an industry or profession Transforming: Alters the structure and roles within an industry or profession • Marine chronometer – enabled an international system • Cotton gin – commercialized cotton agriculture • Water frame – launched factory-based manufacturing • Haber process – transformed agricultural yields • Internet

New technologies applied to the geospatial world have driven exponential changes in productivity and quality Points Day Antiquity Current Day

The declining cost of geospatial technology opens up new uses for high accuracy geospatial data Cost/Point Accuracy/€ of Expenditure Time

Technology convergence has created the potential to redefine roles and context in the “digital era” Photogrammetry EDM/Laser GNSS Digital Transforming Era Antiquity

Major parallel technology trends have driven the definitional change with even more significant trends emerging Sensors Processing Power Software Intelligence Sensor Integration Real Time Data Storage Big Data Connectivity Cloud Computing Visualization & Interaction 3 D Models

Sensors remain an active area of development and create the potential for “big data” solutions Angle & Distance Measurement Theodolites, tapes, chains EDM Total Stations 3 D Scanning Integrated Mobile Mapping Space & Inertial Measurement Inertial Surveying Transit GPS Galileo/GNSS/Inertial Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing Terrestrial Photogrammetry Airborne Scanning High Resolution Remote Sensing Peripheral Sensors Barometers, Gravimeters RFID Automotive Sensors Billions of Devices/Sensors BIG DATA

This processing power revolution has progressively impacted the geospatial work process Mechanical and Manual Beginning 20 th Century Early Automation 1980’s Field Centered Intelligence 1990’s Integrated & Real Time Decision Making in the Field > 2000 Digital

Traditional Comfort Zone “Data Collection” Measurement & Data Collection Roles to Be Defined “Data Management” Interpretation & Quality Control Analysis, Modeling & Applications Key Skills: Instrumental precision Meticulous calculations Key Skills: Establishing context Managing complexity Data management Key Values: Accuracy Credibility Reliability Collaboration
