This episode is all about Geospatial Intelligence, and what can be done with the data that is captured via Earth observation Terms like ‘Earth Observation’ and ‘Geospatial Intelligence’ may not make it into casual conversation for most people, but when accessing things like maps, weather information, traffic information, and air quality data, we are actively engaging with information that has been obtained via these means. There is a lot of work being done to evolve this technology, but we have barely even scratched the surface. To know what it is truly capable of, we need to understand it on a fundamental level.
Referred to as Geospatial Innovation at the Catapult, it is the analysis of data that has either a geographic or location element to it. For example, a satellite image that has a longitude and latitude reference system to it, or even a postcode. The data in its various forms, has been used to make sectors like agriculture, transport and even extractive industries, perform more efficiently and effectively. But the technology still needs to be adopted more widely.
