Session 1 Imagery and the Modern GIS
Imagery and remote sensing are no longer just background layers in a GIS—they are foundational to how we understand and manage our world. Today’s modern GIS integrates imagery as a core data source, enabling organizations to capture, analyze, and visualize change with unprecedented precision. Proper management of imagery—through structured data pipelines, standards-based storage, and scalable access—ensures that this rich content is discoverable, interoperable, and ready for analysis. This disciplined approach unlocks the full potential of evolving technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, allowing automated feature extraction, pattern recognition, and predictive modeling at scale. In this talk, we will explore how imagery and remote sensing fit into the architecture of a modern GIS, discuss best practices for managing large and diverse imagery collections, and showcase how emerging AI-driven capabilities are transforming imagery from passive pixels into actionable intelligence.
Session 2 Reality Mapping and You
· Reality mapping is the process of creating accurate, high-resolution representations of the world—content that forms the foundation for both 2D and 3D GIS workflows. By capturing and processing data from a range of platforms—such as drones, aircraft, satellites, and mobile mapping systems—reality mapping produces detailed imagery, point clouds, and 3D meshes that power analysis, visualization, and decision-making. These products have applications across nearly every industry, from infrastructure management and environmental monitoring to urban planning and public safety. This session will explore the end-to-end reality mapping workflow, from data acquisition to product generation, highlighting the tools, techniques, and best practices that ensure quality and efficiency. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to integrate reality mapping into their own GIS workflows to create richer, more actionable geospatial content.
