DigitalGlobe Proprietary Public-Private Partnership – An Industry Perspective Kumar Navulur, PhD

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Agenda Public Private Partnership (PPP) Models PPP Benefits PPP & Geospatial Market –Imagery –Geospatial Services Creating Nationwide Geospatial Databases

DigitalGlobe Proprietary US Public Private Partnership Models Build-Transfer or Turnkey (BT) Build-Lease-Transfer (BLT) Build-Transfer-Operate or Design-Build-Operate (BTO) Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) or Build-Own- Operate (BOO)

DigitalGlobe Proprietary US PPP Benefits In a 1998 survey by the U.S. Council of State Governments, PPP Benefits include: –Cost savings 40.9% –Lack of in-house personnel and expertise 32.5% –Lack of State support of political leadership 30.8% –Flexibility and less red tape 23.8% –Speedy implementation 21.4% –Increased innovations 20.4% –High quality of service 18.5% –Other 10.6%

DigitalGlobe Proprietary PPP & Geospatial Market (Imagery) Satellite & Aerial Industry is a great example of PPP Private Industry designs, builds, and launches the satellite or does aerial acquisition Public Government uses mechanisms such as NextView, Enhanced View contracts to supplement/complement their imagery needs

DigitalGlobe Proprietary PPP & Geospatial Market (Geospatial Services) Production Services –Image Processing –LiDAR/Radar processing –Image Analysis & Exploitation –GIS services Example Geospatial Projects: –US Census TIGER/MAF Modernization Project (5 year project) –USDA NAIP

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model Data –Trends in Data Increasing accuracy Number of sources increasing –Errors Important to account for error propagation –Design the geospatial databases/Infrastructure for long term use

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Landuse/Landcover Layer Water Railroad Residential Grass Wetlands Recreation Commercial Roads and Parking Lots Feature extraction accuracies >90% with 8 bands, Greater detail in feature extraction with 8 bands (e.g. tree classes) Automated Feature Extraction

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model Processing –Data & Processes need to be co-located –Exploit faster computing methodologies –Take advantage of cloud (computing and storage) –Plan for IT/Storage (short term and long term)

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model Analysis –Analysis requires specialized skills –Multi-disciplinary skills Image Analysis borrowing skills from Robotics, Machine Vision, medical imaging, etc. –Private Industry investing in analysis skills as well as automation

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model Dissemination & Sharing –Minimize Data Latency –Enhance Data Access –Ensure consistent Data Nomenclature

DigitalGlobe Proprietary Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model DigitalGlobe Contributions –Cutting edge satellite systems –New spectral bands/sensors for information and insight –Investment in storage/processing/dissemination technologies –Innovation through R&D
