Research trends in photogrammetry, remote sensing and GI science and the role of ISPRS Christian Heipke IPI - Institute for Photogrammetry and GeoInformation Leibniz Universität Hannover Secretary General, ISPRS
Table of content Changes and challenges Research and development trends The role of ISPRS
Society and GI Global change Sustainable development Increasing population Smart cities, prec. agri. Increasing sense of security Disaster management Increasing globalisation GDI Changing communication LBS, 24/7 Changing role of governm. Open data Global GI and GI mgt. GEO, UN-GGIM User participation Voluntary geo. info. (health, energy, ) GI has reached the centre of society and is big business (spatial is not special any more)
International Charter on Space and Major Disasters Courtesy G. Schreier, DLR An International agreement among participating Space Agencies to provide space-based data and information in support of relief efforts during emergencies caused by major disasters. Ghgh
The political arena: two quotes on GI Indian Minister of Science & Technology, K. Sipal (Map World Forum 2007, Hyderabad) GDI is a virtual infrastructure, as important for society as other national infrastructures (traffic, water, electricity, telephone, ) German Minister of Environment, Barbara Hendricks (Intergeo, 2014): GI is a primary resource of the knowledge society
ICT and GI Ubiquitous computing Mass market Merger of GI sub-disciplines Smart phone Internet time ( I want it now ) Car navigation Big data, cloud computing Digital earth Crowd sourcing OSM Open source, interoperability CityGML, BIM Automation Robotics Smart techn., Internet of things Smart cities GI is integral part of ICT location is key in 80% of daily decisions
Crowd sourcing and VGI
Consumer market products Noah Snavely - http://phototour.cs.washington.edu/bundler/ basic development for Microsoft Photosynth Web based bundle adjustment
Summary so far GI market more interesting to ICT community and general public Car navigation systems, digital globes, GDI, Chance for increased perception and influence Stronger competition from neighbouring fields computer science, computer vision, EE, GI, RS & photogrammetry need to rethink a small community (too fragmented?) focus on what is of prime importance need for strategic partners
