Big Data Questions Cannot Be Answered Without GIS

Posted on 18. May, 2013 by 3DVW.

I would suggest that so called Big Data is dependent upon computing systems and applications that not only are capable of computational abilities, but are also geo-capable of multi-disciplinary, geo-refrepresentative of processes. erenced spatial analysis. Big Data questions occur where overlaps arise. They are 3D and reality based and lend themselves to geostatistical analysis. Simulation [...]

3D GIS – 3D CAD Mapping for Industrial and Territorial Management

Posted on 15. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.

Web Map based services have many benefits for real-world applications not only inside enterprises, but as a means for supporting the work of individuals and organisations outside the enterprise. Agricultural organisations and producers in the State of Minnesota have recently seen the benefits of web mapping of this type. Farmers are now able to identify [...]

Intergraph GeoMedia: Are You Ready to Transcend the GIS Status Quo?

Posted on 09. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.

I listened in to a webinar today offered by the folks at Intergraph. They were presenting on the new GeoMedia 2013  and the title ‘Are You Ready to Transcend the GIS Status Quo?‘ piqued my interest. As they promoted the webinar in an email that crossed my desk, I thought I better touch base to [...]

Visualization and Social Media – A Working Paper

Posted on 09. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.

Researchers in London at University College London (CASA) have published ‘Visualising Spatial and Social Media‘ – a working paper that discusses spatial representation in relationship to visualization. “First we examine how the 2-dimensional map has become key to many kinds of spatial representation, showing how this software has moved from the desktop to the web as well [...]

3D Perspective: Where Does ‘Big Data’ Take Place?

Posted on 03. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.

Big Data is often associated with the volume of data – more data equates to bigger. But, is volume the major characteristic that identifies a big data issue? Likely not. Why? Because a lot of data can be poor data, useless and meaningless and having no significant value. It is easy to generate lots of [...]

Book: GIS Tutorial – Spatial Analysis Workbook 2

Posted on 11. Mar, 2013 by 3DVW.

Spatial analysis is a key function when it comes to geographic information systems (GIS). Spatial analysis involves numerous methods such as location analysis, pattern recognition and cluster identification. The relationships between spatial features helps us to understand their significance in relation to each other. It is spatial analysis that helps us to explore, identify and [...]

GIS and Image Processing: How 3D Matters When It Comes To Big Data

Posted on 11. Mar, 2013 by 3DVW.

When it comes to questions of Big Data – 3D matters.  All spatial data with (x, y, z) coordinates provides considerably more value and improved processing capability as compared to 2D data.  Conventional data integration and processing of large volumes of data relying solely upon (x, y) coordinates are more oriented toward image characteristics and [...]
