Teaming up with parent company Airbus, UP42 is gearing up for the Copernicus Masters Challenge. The most prestigious Earth Observation (EO) annual competition in the world, the challenge aims to foster innovative applications of remotely sensed data that address Earth’s pressing environmental, social, and business problems.
Earth observation (EO) is a valuable tool for city planning and transitioning them to become smart, well connected and climate neutral cities.
Authoritative digital data coming from national mapping agencies has increasingly become the basis of decision making for governments, organizations, and businesses.
Innovations often herald a new dawn, open up new horizons, and spur economic growth. Giving an insight into how the industry, academia, and government can leverage these changes in geospatial data policy to its advantage was the sixth plenary session of 2022 edition of Geospatial World Forum in Amsterdam.
The rise of small satellites, increase in data analytics capability and sensor miniaturization, has given a fresh impetus to the space economy, which has been further boosted by liberalized government policies and the use of commercial off-the-shelf technology.
Companies have poured billions into funding and resources to develop autonomous vehicles and yet, after years of research and development, have achieved at best Level 2 autonomy…
Interference of GPS systems is a serious issue with potential economic and political consequences, which makes it crucial to detect interferences, geolocate them and act accordingly to protect vital assets.
Names may change, addresses may get erased, and routes altered or realigned, but geocoded coordinates usually stay the same.
Names may change, addresses may get erased, and routes altered or realigned, but geocoded coordinates usually stay the same.
Use of GNSS Services have transformed land surveying for both traditional and emerging energy sectors.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) with its free data, detail, and information, is somewhat regarded as the Wikipedia of maps. Building upon it for commercial use is the next step.
For prefabrication to be successful, accurate information about the destination of the final installation is a must. 3D laser scanning makes that possible.
Automation rescues GIS users from the tediously long process of trying to combine different forms of data, but choosing the right method is imperative to save both time and investment.
Metadata is a vital component of geospatial data. Understanding how the data is captured or the intention with which it is captured is sometimes more…
We are at the start of a data revolution that has enabled us to envisage smart cities and digital twins. This is just the beginning of an industrial revolution that will change the world around us.
While geospatial infrastructure is required to model and simulate changes in the real world and feed them into the Digital Twin ecosystem, a digital replica at the national level can open doors to a whole range of geospatial applications in multiple sectors. Together, these two can support sustainable economic practices.
Resilient PNT is neither a particular technology nor a service; it is actually a combination of many things, depending on the scale and scope of applications and systems.
Location Intelligence not only helps emergency personnel in responding better to a situation, but can also empower them to assess future events and be prepared for them.
It isn’t hard to see that location capable devices will become smaller, more mobile and more accurate in the coming years. With increased computing power…
3D Geospatial for Defense Spectrum Management As the world becomes ever more connected, the communication infrastructure is critical. Effective spectrum management and network planning are
Constructive action is required globally if we are going to develop safe, secure infrastructures for providing highly accurate and precise PNT services that are relied on to keep our society operating.
Real-time persistent global monitoring enables defense and intelligence organizations to receive first-to-know insights that can be used for critical, mission-specific decision-making.
The technology and solutions that the D&I community spearheads provide value to several other domains, such as aviation, emergency management and response, smart cities, telecommunications, transport and logistics, among others.
Geospatial systems, in convergence with modern ICT, can help city utilities become efficient, consumer-friendly and cost effective.
Positioning and correction services improve default results — from meters to centimeters — enabling growing markets for high precision applications. Which should you use for your specific needs?
How a Danish surveying consultancy used high precision scanning to support 3D modelling of thousands of affordable housing units. The 3D models are used by…
GIS to Optimize Land Use To tide over the current economic crisis, the Government of India has taken a slew of policy decisions, including using
Rogue vessels often operate with their Automatic Identification System switched off. When AIS is not able to supply enough knowledge, other data sources are critical…
Machine Learning and data mining aided by high powered computing form the foundation of GeoAI, with geospatial science also offering the tools and technologies that help…
By mustering resources at its disposal and deploying the latest technology, China has mitigated the effects of COVID-19 to a significant extent and profiled people
In case of a disease outbreak, efficient use of geospatial data and mapping technologies can help in both containing and responding to crisis, and the…
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electromagnetic Location (EML) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are being extensively used to geolocate below the surface utility networks and hidden…
When it comes to a fully authenticated and transparent network, Blockchain has emerged as a great utility. This is why it’s being used across sectors wherever accurate insights and transparency is indispensable.
The COVID-19 pandemic has stalled the design, development, and construction of airports worldwide…
