 Jonathan Houde Navigating Geospatial Trends, Cloud, Data, and AI Innovations
As we delve into the intricate landscape of geospatial technology in 2024, it’s essential to reflect on the dynamic shifts that unfolded throughout 2023. Many of Korem’s 2023 predictions have come to fruition, while others are still unfolding, shaping the trajectory of the industry. This article will focus on 5 key trends on the evolution of geospatial within the enterprise ecosystem.
Data Privacy and Mobility Data, Still in Evolving Canvas
In the realm of data privacy, the landscape remains in constant evolution. New federal and provincial regulations are still emerging, in the US, Canada, and various other countries. This has contributed to maintaining volatility in the mobility-derived data market landscape. As a result, many vendors have started to shift from offering raw mobility trace data, to anonymized and pre-aggregated data. For customers, using these types of pre-aggregated mobility data allows transferring both the complexity of dealing with mobility data quality, the challenge of dealing with privacy compliance, and ultimately a faster time to value.

In my recent interview with Gareth Gibson, Marketing Director of Mapping & GIS Solutions at Trimble Inc., we explored the cutting-edge advancements that are shaping the future of geospatial technology. Gibson provided a deep dive into the precision and practicality of Trimble’s current suite of mapping and GIS solutions, highlighting how their innovative GNSS receivers and software platforms are redefining the efficiency and accuracy of asset data collection and inspection workflows. His insights offered a glimpse into the transformative impact these tools are having across a range of industries, where the accuracy of every point on a map can make a significant difference.
In a world increasingly driven by data, the importance of accurately capturing and utilizing geospatial information has never been more pronounced. The latest developments from Trimble have marked a significant advancement in this field. The company’s innovative approach to Mapping & GIS, as articulated in a recent discussion, showcases a dedication to precision, efficiency, and user-centric design in their suite of geospatial products.

A Look at Technology and Geospatial Trends Impacting the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Industry
Reviewing where we’ve been and looking ahead to where we’re going, there are five primary technology and geospatial trends impacting the AEC industry: Kubernetes, geospatial artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), digital twins, GeoBIM, and high-definition (HD) maps and LiDAR.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes – an open-source platform that orchestrates data and process workload balancing, automated program updates, and data management – is becoming more popular for cloud processing. It allows computing to happen at a completely different scale, becoming a transformation agent.
Benefits
Kubernetes implementations have multiple benefits: scalability/system response, cloud environment/decreased investment in on-site technology, increased return on investment with more capital, and system upgrade functionality.

I recently attended the 2019 ENVI Analytics Symposium (EAS) in my proverbial backyard in Denver, CO.
The Symposium was put together by L3Harris Geospatial Solutions. ENVI was developed and launched in 1991 as image analysis software for image scientists, analysts, and GIS professionals for extracting accurate and meaningful information from many kinds of earth observation data.
L3 and Harris Corp. recently merged in late June to become L3Harris bringing a stronger presence for geospatial analytics to the market. The newly combined company has approximately 50,000 employees, $17 billion in sales, and is wisely not tied to any particular platform or technology set with more of an “open” mindset.
As a technology, ENVI is flexible and can be customized to meet specific project needs and can be deployed and accessed from the desktop, in the cloud, and on mobile devices. Fully integrated with ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server from ESRI, users can access ENVI tools directly within the Arc environment to add image analysis capabilities to their GIS models and applications.

The world is literally a greener place than it was twenty years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a counterintuitive source for much of this new foliage. A new study shows that China and India—the world’s most populous countries—are leading the increase in greening on land. The effect comes mostly from ambitious tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries.
Ranga Myneni of Boston University and colleagues first detected the greening phenomenon in satellite data from the mid-1990s, but they did not know whether human activity was a chief cause. They then set out to track the total amount of Earth’s land area covered by vegetation and how it changed over time.

A few weeks ago, I attended the 2017 ENVI Analytics Symposium (EAS) in Denver, CO.
The Symposium was put together by Harris Geospatial Solutions. Harris developed ENVI, image analysis software for image scientists, image analysts, and GIS professionals to extract accurate and meaningful information from many kinds of data.
ENVI is designed to be used by anyone who relies on imagery and data to make decisions and provides expert-level results across the board, regardless of a user’s prior experience with imagery.
ENVI is flexible and can be customized to meet specific project needs and can be deployed and accessed from the desktop, in the cloud, and on mobile devices. Fully integrated with ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server from ESRI, users can access ENVI tools directly within the Arc environment to add image analysis capabilities to their GIS models and applications.
