What is Geospatial Intelligence? Elements Location Sensors Platforms Imagery Processing Features Attributes Data Science Analytics Visualization Tradecraft Definition: Government The term “geospatial intelligence” means the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. GEOINT consists of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information. Title 10 United States Code §467

What is Geospatial Intelligence? Elements Location Sensors Platforms Imagery Processing Features Attributes Data Science Analytics Visualization Tradecraft Definition: Academic Geospatial intelligence is actionable knowledge, a process, and a profession. It is the ability to describe, understand, and interpret so as to anticipate the human impact of an event or action within a spatiotemporal environment. It is also the ability to identify, collect, store, and manipulate data to create geospatial knowledge through critical thinking, geospatial reasoning, and analytical techniques. Finally, it is the ability to present knowledge in a way that is appropriate to the decision-making environment. Todd Bacastow & Dennis Bellafiore American Intelligence Journal (2009)

What is Geospatial Intelligence? Elements Location Sensors Platforms Imagery Processing Features Attributes Data Science Analytics Visualization Tradecraft Definition: Industry GEOINT is the professional practice of integrating and interpreting all forms of geospatial data to create historical and anticipatory intelligence products used for planning or that answer questions posed by decision makers.
