GISCafe Voice Archive for the ‘analytics’ CategoryGISCafe Digital Twin Technology QuestionnaireTuesday, February 19th, 2019Digital twin technology has been talked about a great deal over the past few years, and is being worked on in various technology segments. At one time it was the province of manufacturing and now it is part of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and data analytics. It is also being explored by numerous industries.
Drivers Snap Street-Level Imagery with Capture Projects from MapillaryFriday, February 15th, 2019
Mapillary, the street-level imagery platform that uses computer vision to work with and manage the world’s maps, this week announced a new tool that allows cities and mapmakers to take control over their map data collection in order to build better maps at scale. Capture Projects consists of a combination of a web and a mobile app, named Mapillary for Drivers, that gives cities and mapmakers the ability to task and manage an unlimited number of drivers to capture street-level imagery at any given point, increasing how quickly map data can be generated just using cameras.
Dresdner Robin Assesses Flood-Prone Waterways Using Drone Image CaptureThursday, February 7th, 2019Surveyors use drone technology to capture images of at-risk for flooding riparian areas of northern New Jersey. These images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have become part of the documentation for a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program that has saved Pompton Lakes, New Jersey residents hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on flood insurance premiums.
Summary of GISCafe Industry Predictions for 2019Thursday, January 31st, 2019We have covered a number of companies’ perspectives and predictions for 2019 and each has brought forth an important perspective on where the industry is heading in the New Year. While many of the technologies have been implemented before this time, there appears from these submissions to be even more emphasis on them as they move into 2019.
GIS Industry Predictions for 2019 – Part IVThursday, January 24th, 2019In this fourth installment of GISCafe Industry Predictions for 2019, we have topics such as GNSS performance, real-time data collection, better integration between GIS and CAD, digital cities, increased mobile presence, and mutually beneficial partnerships as part of the vision in the crystal ball for 2019. Widespread adoption of Geospatial technologies continues to grow and become enhanced.  In Sweden, archeologist Christer Andersson is locating the walls of ancient monasteries that have been buried for centuries. By using ground-penetrating radar, 3D imaging, and high-accuracy GNSS receivers, Andersson knows exactly where — and how far down — to tell excavators to dig.
