Technology Driven Change
Technology Driven Customer Expectations Technology leadership Faster delivery Lower cost /added value Improved safety reduced risk Answers to solve a problem Not Just Data Although some still are in the analogue world
The Crowd Change Small ubiquitous sensors active or passive costing less than $5,000 Both commercial and personal use Using apps or cloud-based processing for initial data (3D point/pixel creation)
The Crowd Change Based on Machine Vision robotics Cloud-based SAS pricing resulting in a colorized point cloud New 3D on the fly computations measurements and feedback such as (Kinect) and Intel RealSense,etc
The Crowd Revolution DotProduct3D Intel RealSense MatterPort Google-Project Tango https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd NzTasuYEw
The Coming Crowd Revolution Professional 3D scanning expensive hardware and software Complicated workflows and special knowledge experience required to create information Crowd-sourced - currently used as complimentary technology to terrestrial laser scanning
The Crowd Revolution not Evolution Using tablets and phones 3D will explode based on consumer level tools Clients will be able to collect and cloud-process their own data into relative 3D space Less accurate in absolute terms more flexible and low cost
The Crowd Revolution Google June 2014 1st consumer device based on Project Tango would be LG, with an expected launch date in 2015. This device is the built-in 3D scanning technology which makes it possible to create accurate 3D maps on the fly.
The Crowd Revolution (DOTPRODUCT Example) Scan duration is 3 minutes 20 minutes processing Permanent 3D record -3D points http://www.dotproduct3d.com/industrial.php
Drones aka suas Expectations in the Market Cheaper Faster More accurate?? Do it myself
Drones aka suas Commercial Operations NEWSFLASH 10 U.S. media companies, including the New York Times, the Associated Press and NBCUniversal, will test the use of drones for news gathering, seeking to persuade the government to broaden the commercial use of the small unmanned aircraft.

Drones aka suas Commercial Operations Much like GPS revolutionized survey, suas will do the same for mapping suas mapping is the natural progression to aerial mapping and complimentary to survey
Drones aka suas Major Investments PrecisionHawk - Intel Capital is joining a $10 million funding round to help build out future iterations of the company s unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and cloud backend of making UAVs as automated as possible for users. Airware raised $25 million - work is on hardware, operating systems, and cloud services for unmanned aircraft

Big Data From Small Platforms to Big Data 13.3 yrs of HD video Size of FaceBook photos > 10 billion Annual YouTube video upload All words ever spoken by humans 1 million petabytes 1 petabyte (1000 terabytes) 1.5 petabytes 100 petabytes 1 exabyte (1000 PB) 1 zettabyte (1000 EB)
Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003. Eric Schmidt, Executive Chair, Google 2020 - Estimated 35 zettabytes annually 2012 - Five exabytes every 2 days 2000 - Information base 2x every 4 years 1970 - Information base 2x every 7 years 1930 - Information base 2x every 30 years
Big Data: From Small Platforms to Big Data Drones - 30,000+ flying in US by 2020 Cell phone and tablets 196 million smartphone users by 2018 31 million 3D tablets by 2018 Estimated data upload by smartphone and tablets 95% of the data location aware 20+ petabytes annually Globally, IP video traffic will reach 103.8 exabytes per month in 2018, up from 33.6 exabytes per month in 2013 * Cisco VNI
Big Data: From Small Platforms to Big Data ACM Association for Computing Machinery (SIGSPATIAL) Analytics for BIG Geospatial Data
Big Data: From Small Platforms to Big Data Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Over 90% of government information has a geospatial component Over 95 % of business information has a geospatial component
The 4 FOUR V s of Big Geospatial Data Volume Variety ExaBytes to store, process and analyze Multiple geo sensors and non-geo sensors Velocity Real time information and change Veracity Conforming with truth or fact
Technology Driven Change
Data Analytics Activity Geo Location Event The process of developing actionable information based on the application of statistical models and analysis against existing and/or simulated future data Time
Why does this matter? Safety is KEY and taking the human out of the loop reduces risk to life and limb Utilities look to reduce costs and risk These digital technologies can assist in internal compliance monitoring programs All these technologies are easy to use Percieved Low cost
Why Does This Matter? Data without intelligence and information without analytics is like Groundhog Day Repeat the Life Cycle The Mapping Mantra Deliver data, points, pixels, lines Repeat on an annual basis (hopefully) Hoping for a Change
