Geospatial Intelligence

The focus of GI initiatives is to discover, initiate or accelerate the development of commercial technologies and applications for imagery and motion imagery processing and analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), and cartography that facilitate a more effective and timely image and geospatial data analysis, production and presentation. GI technical challenges include:

• Temporal Geospatial Information Exploitation: Provide and leverage emerging temporal technology for efficient and economical improvements in geospatial intelligence for producers and users; develop software tools and data models to provide more robust and detailed temporal data for geospatial analysts
• Conflation Tools Development: Provide and leverage emerging conflation technology for efficient and economical improvements in geospatial intelligence
• Decision Aids for Geospatial Intelligence: Develop tools, techniques and methodologies for analysis and representation of geospatial and related intelligence data
• Smart Geospatial Intelligence: Empower users to perform timely, accurate and precise feature extraction and change detection via multimodal data sources
• Multimodal Data Extraction Technology: Create and implement software, techniques and methodologies to automate/semi-automate the ability of geospatial analysts to rapidly and accurately extract and attribute geospatial intelligence from new and/or multi-imagery sources
