GISCafe Voice Archive for the ‘DigitalGlobe’ CategoryNotre Dame Cathedral Viewed From Space and 3D Scans – Before and AfterThursday, May 2nd, 2019The Notre Dame Cathedral has been well-documented both before and after a devastating fire destroyed its spire and roof on Monday, April 15, 2019. What we have going forward is extensive documentation in the forms of satellite imagery, aerial imagery, as well as 3D laser scans to help in the reconstruction of the Gothic cathedral.  Satellite photos show Notre-Dame Cathedral before and after Monday's devastating fire. Facebook/Digital Globe GISCafe Industry Predictions for 2019 Part IIThursday, January 10th, 2019Welcome to Part II of our GISCafe Industry Predictions for 2019.

GISCafe 2018 Year in ReviewThursday, December 20th, 2018Many years ago Marshall McLuhan wrote that “the medium is the message.” Never has that been more true than today as we look at how we receive our information – via our phones, computers, TVs, blogs, podcasts, Twitter and other social media. The Immediacy of the message is now available through those avenues, and serves us well in the form new geospatial technology development – autonomous vehicle technology, data acquisition and analytics, social media mapping and imagery – all of which can be utilized to save time, money and more importantly, save lives.
Flying 2018 World Cup StadiumsFriday, July 6th, 2018Robby Deming, Media Strategy Manager for Esri, created a Story Map of the stadiums played in during the 2018 World Cup. Also, DigitalGlobe, who provided the high-resolution satellite imagery for the story map, offered valuable background on the collection of the imagery and how it would serve other industries besides the World Cup itself.

GISCafe Special Coverage: The World of State-of-the-Art Satellites, Reusable Spacecraft and MoreThursday, March 15th, 2018Both large full size satellites as well as small satellites are now being used for various purposes around the globe. In addition, constellations of satellites are being developed for specific purposes, such as internet satellites. We also include here maritime surveillance that relies on Satellite Automatic Identification System (AIS) payload. Hamburg Port Rathaus, European Space Imaging GIS News of the Week: From Services to Data to Sensor SupportFriday, March 9th, 2018This week’s GIS news includes a wide variety of announcements, from IBM’s PAIRS Geoscope to redistricting data from Caliper, of the 2018 edition of Congressional Districts. There is a great need for services that facilitate working with large amounts of geospatial data from disparate sources. IBM addresses that need with their announcement of PAIRS Geoscope, a new experimental cloud-based service that makes it easier for developers to work with large amounts of geospatial data from across a wide variety of sources. The service handles ingesting, integrating and managing the data and allows developers to focus on their queries.
