The concept of the digital twin has been gaining significant momentum in the geospatial domain since 2016. Although there is some consensus on the basic features of a digital twin, some critical refle...
How can the dense point clouds that originate from 3D mapping be turned into useful game engine scenes? This article considers issues including point classification and segmentation, geometric accurac...
Hydrospatial could be described as that portion of geospatial knowledge infrastructure that addresses the hydrosphere, and hydrospatial technologies support navigation, economic development, stability...
Time issues associated with processing point clouds are hugely frustrating, but they are nothing new. And the shifting boundaries mean that we’re destined to forever play the waiting game, according...
TomTom has partnered with Esri to bring its extensive map and traffic data to ArcGIS, Esri’s powerful geospatial platform. This collaboration between one of the leaders in location technology and th...
Open Maps For Europe 2 (OME2) has expanded the Open Cadastral Map by adding Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg and Slovakia in its latest update. This brings the total to ten countries now featured in the pro...
MapAI, a pioneer in generative AI for geospatial data analytics, has announced the successful closure of a AUD $1.3 million funding round, backed by FrontierSI and UNSW Sydney. This milestone undersco...

Cartography is about describing the world in the form of maps and diagrams. Classic cartography produces paper maps but nowadays this field also encompasses Geographical Information Systems and the products produced by these systems. Cartography is heavily dependent on data from [Remote sensing] and [Land surveying and topography] for the dry part of our world and [marine surveying and bathymetry] for the wet parts of our world.
Cartography / GIS can be found in almost any industry vertical where it transforms the various data sources into products readily useable in for example [land and water management], [climate] and [farming and conservation].
