Today’s geospatial professionals are increasingly called upon to deliver content in the form of interactive web apps. This can be challenging with traditional architectures, both because of the inflexibility of conventional template-based approaches, and due to major performance issues when delivering large geotemporal data across the web. OmniSci is a GPU database with built-in high performance geographic rendering (capable of handling...

Join us to celebrate The Honorable Susan M. Gordon and her many contributions to the intelligence community as she is presented USGIF’s most coveted award, the Arthur C. Lundahl-Thomas C. Finnie Lifetime Achievement Award. Then stay tuned as she engages in a real-time mentoring discussion with the 2020 GEOINT Symposium Golden Ticket Winners. The Golden Ticket program is offered each year to young professionals 35 years old or younger to...

Please join members of the GEOINT community to discuss the GeoFuture of the St. Louis region. Members of the GeoFutures Initiative team, along with esteemed community colleagues, will discuss how the strategic plan was derived, the findings, and the next steps. We look forward to engaging with you on this topic that spans the entirety of the global GEOINT community.

The creation and dissemination of GEOINT data, products, and services allows users to answer questions such as “What’s happening where?” and “What could happen when?” Observation datasets of the Earth’s physical and cultural characteristics – including elevation, bathymetry, gravity, and human geography – enable the GEOINT community to orient, decide, and act faster. The rapid advancement of tech...

Geospatial 3D models of buildings and terrain are a critical asset to the GEOINT community. However, acquiring such models has historically been costly, requiring either labor intensive manual modeling or expensive active scanners like LiDAR. Over the past fifteen years there has been a shift toward automated 3D model generation from passive sensors including UAS video and satellite imagery, each of which allow data collection over broader are...

As organizations race to make use of the deluge of IoT sensor data in order to become more effective and responsive, visualizing and analyzing this data in a geospatial context, such as a Common Operating Picture (COP), can provides great benefit in terms of organizing the information and understanding underlying trends. However, the integration of IoT data with a geospatial context can present significant challenges. In this session, attendee...
