Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 3D mapping: Choosing the right combination

Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 Depends on the Project Requirements Example 01 Large Areas Purpose: Base Mapping Difficult to Obtain Control Points or Want to minimize the Cost of Survey Large Scale Mapping Deliverables: Orthos, Contours, DTM…etc Flying Permits Easy to Obtain Timeline is not critical Digital Aerial Photography Technology (Push Broom or Frame Based)

Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 Depends on the Project Requirements Example 02 Application Base Mapping Small Area Flying Permits Difficult to Obtain Accuracy is not Tight Timeline is critical Stereo Satellite Imagery (QuickBird, WorldView, GeoEye, SPOT, IKONOS)

Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 Depends on the Project Requirements Example 03 Application : Utility mapping, Corridor Mapping Area Difficult to Fly during the Daytime because of proximity to Airport Timeline Critical LiDAR Technology Complement with satellite imagery if the Imagery is required

Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 Depends on the Project Requirements Example 04 Quick ortho along with detailed 3D feature mapping Large Project Area LiDAR with Aerial Photography

Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 A Federal Security Agency The Federal Security Agency has multiple standalone systems. Among these systems, data can exist in different formats, different coordinate systems, and different business systems. The Agency needs to be able to consume all this data And offer it to various stakeholders as a standardized, seamless and integrated dataset CRIME ANALYSIS TRAFFIC FUSION CORE Oracle Spatial Map Info ESRI Geo DB

Geospatial World Forum Jan 19-21,2011 Is it possible? – Integration of businesses The Agency should then have a tool through which the information can collaborate And this has to be repeated for each and every layer.
