Geospatial information transforming industries

“Enhancing” and “transforming” technological changes 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 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 Enhancing: Provides significant incremental benefits but does not alter underlying roles & relationships within an industry or profession Enhancing: Provides significant incremental benefits but does not alter underlying roles & relationships within an industry or profession

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

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

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

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

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