Πανελλήνιος Φοιτητικός Διαγωνισμός Ανάπτυξης Web GIS Εφαρμογών

Ο 1ος Πανελλήνιος Διαγωνισμός Ανάπτυξης Web GIS Εφαρμογών απευθύνεται σε φοιτητές H/Y Ελληνικών Πανεπιστημίων και ΤΕΙ και στοχεύει στην ενθάρρυνση και προβολή της νεανικής καινοτομίας στον τομέα των γεωγραφικών συστημάτων πληροφοριών.

Η διοργάνωση θα αξιολογήσει και θα βραβεύσει τις καλύτερες ιδέες / πρωτότυπες εφαρμογές που αναδεικνύουν την ποιότητα των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών με αναφορά τον πολίτη, τις επιχειρήσεις και το κοινωνικό σύνολο, μέσω εφαρμογών γεωγραφικών συστημάτων πληροφοριών για το διαδίκτυο.

Making Maps in the Dark

Aerial surveying company Bluesky International is using next generation thermal survey equipment to capture highly accurate measurements of relative heat loss from building and other structures across the UK at night. The resulting thermal maps provide municipal authorities and other organisations with intelligence with which to address fuel poverty, reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. Thermal imagery has even been used by the Police to identify properties used as cannabis factories where high temperatures are used to encourage growth.

Rachel Tidmarsh, Managing Director of Bluesky International, explores the technology that has made this possible and how this and other types of night time mapping are providing benefit.

Geocoding Shortcut: Google Maps to ArcMap

Geocoding a dataset to produce a georeferenced layer requires access to a basemap to which the location data is tied. For example, if you have a list of addresses, you will need a street file with address ranges or a parcel database with addresses in order to geolocate that list. You might also be asked to create a map showing certain locations and will be tasked with creating a dataset from scratch.

In my task, I was handed a photocopied map with handwritten notes. The task: recreate a map of England with select locales. The map (see below) had been hand marked with the desired locations. Getting a boundary layer for the United Kingdom was fairly simple but I didn’t have ready access to a layer of locations. My solution was to create a list of those locations and geocode them. Since I didn’t have a basemap I could load into ArcMap to use for the geocoding, I decided on a workaround using Batchgeo.com and Google Maps.

Webinar: Viewing Earth Hyperspectrally - What's the World Made of?

Register:
Tuesday, March 8
8 AM (EST) | 1 PM (EST)

Is your organization moving beyond the multi-spectral realm into the world of hyperspectral remote sensing? Hyperspectral sensors such as HYDICE, Hyperion and AVIRIS collect data across a vast portion of the electromagnetic spectrum resulting in as many as 200-300 narrow, contiguous bands - a major difference for organizations used to the 3-4 broad, separated bands commonly used in multispectral imagery.

Geospatial Revolution Project (Episode 3)

Το πανεπιστήμιο The Pennsylvania State University, παρουσίασε το project Geospatial Revolution. Πρόκειται για ένα ντοκιμαντέρ που θα ολοκληρωθεί σε 4 επεισόδια. Τα δύο πρώτα επεισόδια κυκλοφορούν ήδη και εδώ θα βρείτε το 3ο επεισόδιο που μόλις κυκλοφόρησε! Σκοπός του project είναι η δημόσια προβολή της δύναμης που κατέχει η χωρική πληροφορία. H Penn State Public Broadcasting είναι υπεύθυνη για την υλοποίηση του project.
