Eight-band Data Challenge

  09/08/2010
Remote sensing and GIS researchers have access to high-resolution imagery with eight spectral bands, including coastal blue, yellow, red-edge and NIR2. DigitalGlobe is calling for papers making use of this new capacity

The Eight-Band Challenge offers the opportunity to win imagery for research use, a chance to win USD5,000 and present your findings at Geospatial World Forum in January 2011.


DigitalGlobe will make eight-band imagery available to qualifying researchers to study the impact of using this data for:
• Land Use/Land Cover Analysis
• Environmental Mapping and Monitoring
• Coastal Habitat Mapping
• Feature Extraction
• and more...

 

All accepted proposals will be granted free eight-band multispectral imagery, up to 100sq km in order to conduct the research. Completed research papers will be evaluated by a panel of experts who will select five winning papers. The winners will be invited to present their findings at the Geospatial World Forum in Hyderabad, India, 18th to 21st January 2011.

 

Deadline for proposal submission is 31st August 2010.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
