The health of the global ocean environment is of critical importance. Planetary limits for climate change and biodiversity are being reached, and unsustainable resource management practices are rampant.  Space-based Maritime Monitoring has proven to provide foundational support for sustainable management of ocean resources.  In the Keynote, John will provide a high-level overview of ocean problems, space-based maritime monitoring, the beneficiaries and outcomes of the application of...

With drones like the DJI Matrice 300 now being positioned using RTK GNSS, combined with Structure from Motion (SfM), high precision mosaics are possible without deploying targets. The ability to mount lidars (DJI L1 and L2) and other optical sensors (RGB, multispectral, thermal) allows for precise surveying and the production of high resolution and high accuracy mosaics with minimal ground control. While battery power still remains an issue and the limiting factor for flight duration (10’s of...

As the drone industry is increasingly focuses on developing larger airframes and equipping them with bigger sensors, Spexi is taking a revolutionary approach to aerial imagery. At Spexi, we believe that the future of geospatial data collection lies not in size and complexity, but in numbers and standardization. The Spexi platform leverages the power of crowdsourcing, deploying local pilots with small drones to capture standardized imagery across entire cities. This method allows us to achieve...
