Our Green and Pleasant Land

Our Green and Pleasant Land

Bluesky International’s James Eddy presents ProximiTREE, a new digital map layer for modelling the location and extent of trees and their proximity to buildings, offering both 2D and 3D height measurements for use in GIS, web mapping or CAD applications.

 

Technology Makes a Vast Difference

Surveyors at an Alaska gold mine track material extraction safely and productively from a distance using Topcon IS robotic survey equipment, offering reflectorless long-range surveying and integrated digital imaging and 3D modelling.

 

The Many Faces of SDI

Our editor looks at Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) developments from a national, regional (trans-national) and global perspective, noting the similarities and some best practice.

 

GIS Delivers the Goods

GIS Delivers the Goods

Vilniaus Duonas shaves costs and optimizes truck usage with ESRI’s ArcLogistics, generating significant logistics efficiency gains in a matter of months for one of Lithuania’s largest bakeries.

 

3D City Modelling Technology

Blom, a leading European service provider for acquisition, processing and modelling of geographic information, has produced high quality 3D city models for more than 200 cities during 2009. The models are delivered either off-line or using the BlomURBEX® platform technology to stream the data over the web.

 

Eco Sustainability and 3D Design

This Month's Burning Issue...
Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.
This month's burning issue:

A suggested new aspect for the New Generation of Digital Earth - Human behaviour and decision making

Based on harmonised methodology, survey on decision making mechanisms and identification of decision nodal points, monitoring and analysis of the socio-economic and environmental impact of power, the influence of human interest groups from local to global should be also part of the aspects in the new generation Digital Earth.
