11 Social harmony Connection to Cadastral Maps Green Infrastructure Power Infrastructure Economic growth Infrastructure

12 Cadastral Maps: Different challenges Developed World Developing World Long established cadastral mapping Poor or no cadastral maps Challenges Faster updates Save costs Standardization Challenges Establish a cadastral map and system Where to start? Extensive extra-legal infrastructure Integrating innovative approaches to accellerate the process

13 Cadastral Maps The more people that are inside the legal system the better. Once you re in the legal system, you become more interested in the political system. - Hernando de Soto President, Institute for Liberty and Democracy (ILD) in Lima Social harmony Economi c growth Infrastructure

14 Cadastral Maps: Workflows Traditional Automation Centric 1. Aerial Survey - Images only 2. Data Processing 3. Visual comparison: images to cadastral map 4. Survey of changes 5. Map/GIS update 1. Aerial Surveyincl DSM/DTM 2. Data Processing 3. Automatic change detection: images + DSM /DTM to cadastre 4. Survey of Changes 5. Map/GIS update

17 Cadastral Change Detection ecognition and Inpho software allows us to automate time-consuming image processing workflows. Furthermore change detection of cadastral buildings (land survey register) with ecognition can be standardized and the effort for visual image interpretation and field comparison can be reduced.

18 Urban Tree Canopy Assessment: USFS / UVM Combine satellite images with aerial photos and tax maps (also LiDAR) Ascertain tree canopy size and break it down by parcel, determining which trees are on public land and which are on private land Current tree canopy and tree canopy potential Applied for a number of US cities

19 Social harmony Economi c growth Infrastructure "It really kicked off everything it helped us set our sights on 1 million trees" The environmental benefits and property value benefits are quantifiable, but the social ones are harder. "Tree canopies can make neighborhoods more cohesive and bring people together, bonding them over this common resource - Fiona Watt, chief of forestry and horticulture, New York Department of Parks and Recreation.

20 Power Lines &Vegetation: Blom Mapping trees and shrubs near power lines Vegetation in the height classes (e.g. 2.5 m)

25 Conclusions Growth patterns will demand better solutions to the inherently spatial challenges of infrastructure management Automation is a natural path to standardizing traditional processes, bringing field work into the office, making those processes faster and more cost effective As vendors, our challenge is to commercialize geospatial technology, thereby collaboratively realizing tangible contributions to our global economic and societal well-being
