1 A Broad View of Geospatial Technology & Systems Pete Large Vice President, Trimble On the shoulders of giants 1

2 Since their time, our ability to generate geospatial information has grown exponentially Crowd Sourcing Points Day Integrated Mobile Mapping Hi-Res Satellite Imagery Total Stations LiDAR RTK & Robotic India C1850 EDM Photogrammetry 4 Billion Data Points Per Hour Land & Airborne 3-Dimensional High Precision Mapping 360 Degree Laser Scanning High Resolution Imagery High Precision GPS + Inertial Billions of data points per hour Artificial Intelligence for object recognition and extraction 2

3 Technology Convergence Angle & Distance Measurement Theodolites, tapes, chains EDM Total Stations 3D Scanning Integrated Mobile Mapping Space & Inertial Measurement Inertial Surveying Transit GPS Multi-GNSS + Inertial Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing Photogrammetry Airborne Scanning High Resolution Remote Sensing Peripheral Sensors Computation & Communications Barometers, Gravimeters RFID Automotive Sensors Billions Devices/Sensors Manual Computation Digital Computation Real Time Information BIG (Geospatial) DATA Geospatial information has evolved from paper maps, to GIS, to 3D virtual models of the world, accessible to billions.. Paper Maps Large Scale Small Scale Map Makers Map Users GIS Digital Maps coupled to a database GIS DC Map Users Virtual Worlds Accurate 3D in the cloud Billions of Data Users 3

4 GNSS Infrastructure provides a unified framework for high precision positioning RTX: global connectivity + global high precision positioning Trimble CenterPoint RTX Network Delivers <4cm or 1.5 Precision Globally via a GNSS Network with stations in 40 countries and advanced real time precise point positioning algorithms. Launched globally February 2012 GNSS infrastructure and geospatial information are transforming how work is done across a range of public and private sector activities, globally Agriculture Heavy Civil Construction Construction BIM Cadastral & Geospatial Transportation & Logistics Rail Environmental & Waste Water Utilities Electric Utilities & Communications Intelligent Transportation Forestry Field Service Oil & Gas Consumer Devices Indoor Mapping & Virtual Worlds 4

5 Geospatial technology is transforming the work of agriculture Precision agriculture enables more informed decision making, leading to higher machine utilization, lower seed, fuel and chemical costs, improved yield and profitability, reduced environmental impact. Machine and Worker Optimization Planning and Mapping Prescription and Yield Analysis Asset Monitoring Topographic Management Productivity Recommendation Financial Management Annual Economic Benefits of Precision Agriculture to U.S. Crop Farming Pham et. al. 2011, The Economic Benefits of Commercial GPS Use Geospatial technology is transforming work in civil engineering Enhanced information, decision making and control across the entire project lifecycle, generating benefits including: Faster Completion Reduced Fuel, Re-work, Labor Enhanced Worker Safety Reduced Environmental Impact Feasibility and Planning Survey Design Estimation Earthworks Construction Maintenance and Operation 5

6 Geospatial technology is transforming how buildings are designed, built and operated Building Information Models (BIM) and advanced site technologies are deployed across the entire design-build-operate lifecycle, generating results including: Faster Completion Reduced Re-work, Labor Improved Quality, Collaboration & Data Flow Improved Asset & Facility Lifecycle Management Trimble Buildings: An integrated set of best-in-class solutions for Building Owners, Architects, General Contractors, Sub-Contractors and MEP Trades. Feasibility and Planning Survey Design Estimation Fabrication Construction Maintenance and Operation Geospatial technology is transforming how land is administered and managed 6

7 Geospatial technology is transforming all modes of transportation Geospatial technology is transforming how our natural resource and utility demands are met Positioning Systems for Oil & Gas Exploration and Production, Mining. Marine Construction & BIM for Offshore Steel Surveying & Mapping Systems for Pipeline, Transmission & Distribution Systems Alignment Planning for Transmission Systems Utility Incident & Outage Management Systems GPS Network Timing & Synchronization Asset, Work & Fleet Management 7

8 Geospatial technology is changing the work of government CITIZENS & CONSUMERS GIS Data Users -Smart Phones DBs MOBILE FIELD CREWS & FLEETS --Data Collection / Validation -Work & Incident Management -Asset Management - Fleet tracking & Routing Enterprise Application CONTRACTORS Intelligent Machines GIS Server Geospatial technology is transforming our understanding of the planet and its natural hazards and processes Seismic activity monitoring in New Zealand Earth quake relief in China 8

9 Geospatial technology is changing the work of all of us Cadastral & Land Administration GIS and Mapping Surveying 3D Modeling & Imaging Topographic Data Analysis Reporting What does this mean for the profession? Historical Roles Emerging Roles Measurement & Data Collection Interpretation & Quality Control Analysis, Modeling & Applications Instrumental precision Meticulous observation & calculation Accuracy, Credibility, Reliability Establishing geospatial context Managing quality, integrity, complexity Big data management Providing answers, solving problems Accuracy, Credibility, Reliability, 9

10 Geospatial infrastructure, technology and information are enablers which help us to rise to some of humanity s biggest challenges Feeding a growing population Securing land tenure for the majority Meeting global demands for natural resources energy, water, power, materials Enhancing public safety & security Improving warnings of, and recovery from, natural disasters Supporting economic growth and recovery Providing places for a growing population to live, work, learn and receive health care Connecting the Global Village through transportation, communication and access to the power of place 10
