Our Mission
Mobility comes in various formats: on the road, in the air, on the rivers, and on rails – just to name a few. It is targeted either for commercial transport, for commuting or for leisure. And it is changing continuously...
Niantic Spatial’s Large Geospatial Model
For every problem there is a solution and if we deal with geodata there should be also a spatial intelligence tool. This principle applies to "AI domain" as well and Niantic has a very good foundation for starting a promising enterprise to build a large geospatial model (LGM)...
Geodata and AI
Artificial Intelligence has made it into most areas of our life. It’s no surprise that the geodata domain is widely affected by it, too. In this article, we try to give our first impression on the current situation and activities...
In Map We Trust
Geospatial Artificial Intelligence can generate as well as check geodata. But which indicators can help to determine if the map is correct or wrong and how useful these indicators are. We also check strategies to work on assessing the trust of maps...
Blatten reloaded
Nature acts in a wide speed range. If we focus on our planet and our core subject geodata we see our data getting outdated by activity that lies somewhere between continental drift and volcanic eruptions...
BIM in the City
Apart from the road we are also dealing with the representation of the rest of the environment and we talked about the usage of CityGML and BIM for that. Nevertheless, the difference still was not quite clear and that's why we tackle this task once and for all...
Tariffs on Geodata
The speed with which everything is in motion is far exceeding our preferred rates for continental drift. To protect themselves, countries apply tariffs and levies on everything crossing their borders. We try to imagine what the consequences would look like for geodata...
White Spot Survey
The British Antarctic Survey has published the most detailed map about the landscape of Antarctica beneath the thick ice sheet. Let's get to the bottom of things...
Experts’ voices: Data Points and Politics – the Gordian Knot in Railroad Data Pools
From the very beginning of our blog, we have been fascinated by data, their handling and conditioning and how to make sure they can be stored in accessible pools in standardized formats. Now we are try to look into railroad data silos...
Subterranean Mapping
Infrastructure is not only about roads and rail. This time we dig into the ground to map subterranean infrastructure. The National Underground Asset Register of the United Kingdom tries to unite the data of the various asset owners...
Missed Opportunities
The end of the year is quite close and is celebrated with giving gifts to beloved people but we realized that there are some geodata-related gifts missing...
