GISCafe CEO Sanjay Gangal recently interviewed Suzi Shoemaker, President and Chief Operating Officer at AerialSphere and owner of a Australian Shepherd/heeler mix, about AerialSphere, a 360-degree aerial panoramic imagery provider.
Sanjay: Suzi, tell us about AerialSphere.
SS: AerialSphere is a 360-degree aerial panoramic imagery provider, which includes geolocated information within every pixel of the image, giving the viewer the opportunity to overlay any type of data that has location information included.
SG: Okay, and how did AerialSphere get started?
SS: AerialSphere got started when two aerial photographers and entrepreneurs, one of those aerial photographers was an inventor, were introduced to each other right about the time Google Street View became popular. One of the entrepreneurs took a look at that and said, “Hey, I’ve done some drone work with some 360-cameras, but wouldn’t it be cool if we could do this with aerial imagery and be able to provide a mass capture imagery over major metropolitan areas, so that you could utilize the imagery to be able to do something very similar, but from a different perspective?”

Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, maximizing the value of Digital Twins, higher refresh rate on satellite data, and a new group of users: geospatial immigrants are among this week’s 2022 Industry Predictions. The industry needs to ensure two things for this category of users who don’t care if the data is geospatial or anything about it – firstly that users are getting the right data for their needs, and secondly that they are able to access it easily.

In this third installment of the GISCafe Voice Industry Predictions for 2022, our respondents look at fascinating and timely topics such as startup collaboration in the remote sensing and “new space” industry from Ellipsis Drive. Hexagon brings in the historical perspective and what could help or could’ve helped in certain disasters – automation, new uses for augmented and virtual reality, and remote sensing in space. There is not a day that goes by that one doesn’t hear something about the supply chain – and geospatial can definitely help with that. Geodecisions is working on the supply chain as a new element of location analytics.

Two weeks ago our Industry Predictions took a look at NVIDIA’s foray into geospatial with artificial intelligence and their digital twin of the earth. This week builds on those themes, as Dr Aaron Morris, co-founder of Allvision and Shehzan Mohammed, Director of 3D Engineering and Ecosystems, Cesium peer into the crystal ball to find AI and Machine Learning (ML) making a significant impact on GIS of the future.
GeoSapient looks forward to the improvement of sustainability through environmental, social and governance (ESG) transparency and industry collaboration. And to weave it all together, according to John Kelly, president and co-founder of GeoSapient, digital twin technology with ESG “will help the operators place themselves at the center of a sustainable supply chain and trace specific products to their final use.” (more…)

It is not surprising that the same GIS industry concerns arise that we had in 2021, follow us into 2022. Technology is morphing to keep pace with the new challenges put forth in the world, and what has been in development for many years is being put to the test.
We have not arrested Covid, rather we are living in a time of more virulent disease, if not as potent as our first go round. What is sustainable? How can technology assist? How deeply are our industries affected by the ever-changing landscape of health, climate, geography and work?

Much of 2021’s important news had to do with digital twin technology, responding to climate change and artificial intelligence, as well as Covid-19 response for businesses. Reducing the world’s carbon footprint is a major priority for most organizations and technologies are being lined up to address this priority.

As a result of the pandemic, the Tecta America Zero Company needed a solution for viewing and assessing project sites that was effective and efficient. After the COVID-19 pandemic closed businesses and restricted access to viewing projects onsite, the Tecta America Zero Company’s recognized that its remote viewing capabilities became more important than ever.
 US Capitol, Image courtesy of Nearmap Tecta America Zero Company had been managing roofing projects across the U.S. for years, using aerial imagery for greater accuracy. When Covid-19 shifted everything, they were in the right place at the right time. The company could provide accurate assessment of roofing projects to keeping employees safe during COVID and decrease travel costs, by using Nearmap’s content that made it possible for Tecta America Zero Company to work smarter and safer.
 A neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah, Image courtesy of Nearmap Tecta has an indepth understanding of communities and resources that are only available to a large roofing company. Nearmap aerial imagery is used for roofing installation and replacement projects, new construction, and repairs across the country. Further, Nearmap provides the Tecta America Zero Company instant access to up-to-date and historical aerial imagery and geospatial intelligence.
Nearmap is unique in its capture of aerial imagery, focusing on currency, consistency, coverage, and accessibility. Nearmap’s wide-scale capture program is regularly updated (up to three times annually). The company delivers imagery at a consistent sub 3” GSD, and its automated photogrammetry pipeline ensures that color, stitching, and clarity are seamless. Nearmap offers expansive coverage across 1,750 urban areas across the U.S., including 80.1% of the population. Imagery is published within days of capture and Nearmap customers like the Tecta America Zero Company have 24/7 access to aerial content through a web app, API, or third-party integration. Customers report Nearmap is much more accurate than Google Earth.

Recently in the news we have seen a lot of satellite imagery depicting fires and hurricanes and their resultant damage, as well as satellite imagery of wartorn areas of the world such as Afghanistan. Of course this type of imagery is not new, but new ways of being able to display and gain greater understanding of a situation are invaluable to those tasked with analyzing such data.
Greenbelt, Maryland’s Orbit Logic’s SpyMeSat mobile app now includes an augmented reality (AR) interface that provides better awareness of overflying imaging satellites. The AR view overlays the orbit and position of satellites that can image your location, providing a better understanding of satellite viewing geometry and potential obstructions; e.g., to know if an image taken by that satellite of your position would be obscured by a tree or a building. The AR interface also displays relevant information about the satellite and its capabilities, that includes the timing and dynamic geometry of the pass as well as the resolution achievable by satellite sensors.
