La gestione del processo di acquisizione e gestione dati.
Simone Colla, Hexagon Geospatial
8 июня в рамках выставки Агро-2018 прошел Международный форум аграрных инноваций «Agro Innovations Forum 2018».Это первое мероприятие такого формата организованное DroneUA.Форум состоялся при поддержке Министерства аграрной политики и продовольствия Украины и Агентства «Бизнес Франс» при Посольстве Франции в Украине.
Planet has the ambitious goal of imaging everywhere on earth once per day with a fleet of small satellites. Now with over 100 operational satellites, Planet is collecting over a hundred million square kilometers of remote sensing data every day and for the first time we are able to take actions based on the daily changes that we observe. In addition to this unique data set, Planet has taken an 'API-first' approach to distributing data, allowing our users to build their own applications or integrations directly on our platform services. Safe Software's own Planet transformer is a great example of this kind of integration, giving FME users easy access to Planet's growing archive of satellite imagery.

Understand what geospatial technology is? Geospatial technology refers to all the techniques used to acquire, manipulate & store geographic information. Geospatial Technology is one of the forms of GIS. Various tools accomplish it like GIS, GNSS, RS, & other emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, IOT, Augmented Reality (AR), etc
Although GPS developments started in 1967, it’s only in the early 70’s that NASA launched its first Earth Observation satellite. Contemporary technologies like satellite navigation and remote sensing are key in our daily life. Still, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Explore the potential of these technologies in your future products or services, and find a way to get things done.

Gelicit: A Cloud Platform for Distributed Gesture Elicitation StudiesJean Vanderdonckt
A gesture elicitation study, as originally defined, consists of gathering a sample of participants in a room, instructing them to produce gestures they would use for a particular set of tasks, materialized through a representation called referent, and asking them to fill in a series of tests, questionnaires, and feedback forms. Until now, this procedure is conducted manually in a single, physical, and synchronous setup. To relax the constraints imposed by this manual procedure and to support stakeholders in defining and conducting such studies in multiple contexts of use, this paper presents Gelicit, a cloud computing platform that supports gesture elicitation studies distributed in time and space structured into six stages: (1) define a study: a designer defines a set of tasks with their referents for eliciting gestures and specifies an experimental protocol by parameterizing its settings; (2) conduct a study: any participant receiving the invitation to join the study conducts the experiment anywhere, anytime, anyhow, by eliciting gestures and filling forms; (3) classify gestures: an experimenter classifies elicited gestures according to selected criteria and a vocabulary; (4) measure gestures: an experimenter computes gesture measures, like agreement, frequency, to understand their configuration; (5) discuss gestures: a designer discusses resulting gestures with the participants to reach a consensus; (6) export gestures: the consensus set of gestures resulting from the discussion is exported to be used with a gesture recognizer. The paper discusses Gelicit advantages and limitations with respect to three main contributions: as a conceptual model for gesture management, as a method for distributed gesture elicitation based on this model, and as a cloud computing platform supporting this distributed elicitation. We illustrate Gelicit through a study for eliciting 2D gestures executing Internet of Things tasks on a smartphone.
A standalone low-cost mobile prototype with accurate localization capabilities and communicating environmental measurements in real-time can definitely expand the current picture of urban data characterized by limited spatio-temporal resolution. Sensor data enrichment with kinematics, high-frequency and robust positioning data plays a crucial role in IoT devices for mobile microclimatic monitoring application. Indeed, spatially enriched real time kinematic sensors lead directly to fast, reliable and accurate information over-time. This, in turn, allows to create added-value services (smart cities, transportation, e-health, smart home, social, etc.) for life quality improvement of urban communities. The design, prototyping and experimental activities have got funded the DPS4ESLAB project.
Disaster response involves rapid integration of diverse data sources in order to derive spatial information critical to an effective disaster response. This presentation will look at a range of use cases where FME has been used in both disaster response scenarios and practical applications. Safe participated in a recent OGC Testbed that involved a flood disaster response scenario for the San Francisco Bay area. A number of national mapping and environment agencies use FME for managing their flood data, weather data and disaster response resources. Typical disaster response workflows and formats will also be reviewed, including how FME works with DEMs, imagery, time series data and live web feeds to integrate real time with base map data and provide the results planners need to respond effectively. FME's strong support for open standards related to emergency response will also be discussed.

GWP - Flood Hazard Mapping for Small Island Developing States using GIS and L...Esri UK
Due to accelerating climatic and environmental changes, flood hazard modelling and mapping is an increasingly important issue. Flood hazard mapping in developing nations is often restricted to few areas and rarely available for national-scale infrastructure risk analysis and spatial planning, as traditional modelling approaches are inherently affected by increasing uncertainties and require a large number of datasets. In this session, learn how GWP Consultants overcame this difficulty using a simple GIS-based geomorphological approach, using Samoa as a case study. LiDAR-derived high-resolution Digital Elevation Models and ArcGIS analysis techniques were used to model and map flood hazards. Hear how Collector was used to assist with field activities (validating GIS-based flood hazard products and producing a drainage infrastructure database), significantly reducing time inputs. ArcGIS Online platform capabilities were used to deliver flood hazard products and improve risk communication to relevant stakeholders, including the Government of Samoa, World Bank, and United Nations Development Programme.
A team from SERVIR Mekong, co-funded by NASA and USAID, presented some of their work, specifically the Dam Inundation Area Modeling tool, which show the inundation area created by dams using satellite and other data.
At Esri UK Annual Conference 2014
United Utilities (UU) is one of the UK’s largest water and wastewater companies with seven million people in the North West of England. UU had been working with an old GIS ‘landscape’ implementation, comprising five separate systems. Without an enterprise GIS platform affording ‘one version of the truth’, there were risks to the business of making decisions based on wrong or missing information. UU embarked on the journey of Linear Asset Management (LAM) programme with an aim to create a future-proof GIS platform and take UU right to the front of the utility industry in terms of leading-edge technology and state-of-the-art information management.

Le soluzioni Hexagon Geospatial per il trattamento, la gestione e la condivisione dei dati rilevati da UAV (Claudia Ceppi, Planetek Italia)
Gli UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), anche noti in italiano come Droni o APR (Aeromobili a Pilotaggio Remoto o SAPR), sono piattaforme caratterizzate dall'assenza del pilota a bordo e radiocomandate. A scopo geomatico i droni si stanno diffondendo come la risposta low cost alla fotogrammetria aerea tradizionale. Essi infatti permettono il rilievo e la restituzione di informazioni vettoriali, ricostruzioni 3D, modelli digitali del terreno, consentendo, in particolare, un facile raggiungimento di aree inaccessibili (aree archeologiche, falesie costiere, ecc.), il monitoraggio in condizioni di rischio e la realizzazione di rilievi indoor.
La disponibilità sempre più ampia di questa tipologia di dati telerilevati richiede, indubbiamente, strumenti per la loro elaborazione che siano in grado di processare grandi moli di dati e che consentano di estrarre informazioni specifiche in tempi rapidi.
Per questo motivo, questo intervento mostra come le soluzioni Hexagon Geospatial possano supportare tutto il flusso di lavoro dall’acquisizione del dato al suo completo utilizzo, e garantiscano l’automatizzazione dei processi, supportando la rappresentazione e l’analisi dei dati rilevati da drone.

Spatial Data Infrastructures developed at national and international level correspond to the strategy adopted by governments to support the emergence of a society spatially enabled, i.e. able to benefit from the geospatial data.
At the local level, with reference to the smart city paradigm, a city -or community- answers to the "smart" requirement in its broadest sense, if the ICT solutions adopted to improve the lives of the community contribute, at the same time, to the emergence of spatially enabled citizens and businesses, thus allowing them access and use of geospatial data.
Smart cities’ SDIs play a key role in supporting the creation of a favorable environment for the spatial data sharing. Then, they may help the creation of spatially enabled cities, assigning a central function to their users; an SDI designed and managed adopting a user-centric vision, i.e. focused on the understanding of the needs of individuals and of their point of view, with respect to the geospatial data exploit, increases users' spatial practical ability, hence their spatial enablement.
In this context Semantics and Linked Open Data play a potentially political role in the creation of common, shared and searchable contents: spatially enabled citizens become the basis of a shared and recognized infrastructure.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

How Can Intergraph Geospatial Solutions help you in Natural
Disaster Management?
Huge amounts of geospatial data
Stakeholders (decision makers, responders, people on the ground) need to leverage huge amounts of geospatial information that increases dramatically in a short time
Data must be integrated and used in visualization (maps), analysis, decision help, etc.
Tons of geospatial data created in a short time, plus other current and historic
Various, independent sources create a variety of mission-critical geodata, including satellite / aerial imagery companies, Government / NGOs, Non-profits, Crowdsourcing, etc.
Dynamic discovery of dispersed information
Scattered across different organizations that have a stake in responding to the disaster
Find data you need, when you need it, from public, private, other sources
Real time access
Getting the most up-to-date data into any geospatial application without issues such as file format and size
The right portals and front ends
Custom front ends and specialized applications
Public maps, web services to feed into other applications
Disaster management involves protecting human populations from the consequences of catastrophic events
Planning seeks to create disaster resilience for potentially vulnerable communities.
Mitigation involves removing humans from the path of a disaster, or structural actions that keep the disaster from affecting human life.
Preparedness means having correct procedures in place for when a disaster occurs.
Response is search, rescue and taking care of a population affected by disaster.
Recovery is returning a community to normalcy.
Geospatial information plays a critical role in all phases of disaster management, and can shed light on many key activities. Emergency management operations fundamentally depend on geospatial technologies and solutions to successfully manage and respond to serious and urgent situations.
Some ways that geospatial data and solutions are used in emergency management:
Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness
Managing and studying data and reports.to provide insights to ultimately save lives and support reconstruction efforts
Analyzing transportation systems to create evacuation plans
Environmental planning and analysis (including land and topographic analysis, change detection and other modeling exercises)
Mapping for public evacuation plans
Analysis to inform zoning and land use
Installation of warning devices
Maps to inform emergency responders in training exercises
Risk assessment and contingency planning
Flood analysis
Response and Recovery
Ingest, organize, manage, fuse and deliver historic and rapidly updated geospatial imagery, GIS, LIDAR, photos, video, reports and other supporting information to inform all disaster response participants – from the decision-makers to responders-on-the ground to affected citizens – with actionable information
Web mapping supporting real-time information
Damage assessments
Population analysis to quickly understand numbers of affected citizens and their needs (e.g. tents, water, food, shelter, medical)
Rapid identification of potential areas to support shelters, planning and staging areas, field command and response stations, supply and medical stations, and other logistical operations (i.e. safe vs. hot zones)
Analysis of available transportation networks and traffic routes for navigating the disaster arena
Understand location and availability of critical facilities (hospitals, nursing homes, utilities, electricity, communications, etc.) to support affected population and responders
Analysis of available land, buildings, infrastructure, critical facilities, medical, hazards for both short and long term recovery efforts
Productive Data Collection and Management – You must have the right data at the right time to support disaster planning and response. Data for disaster management must be collected from multiple sources including people in the field. This data should be easy to access and conduct analysis. Having productive data management helps you organize your data holdings, enhance planning efforts, and provide first responders the data they need when they need it.
Robust Modeling & Analysis –By being more proactive with your disaster planning tasks, including creating data, maps, digital elevation models, and reports, you can be more accurate in your analysis to support evacuation planning and disaster mitigation planning.
Rapid Delivery – You need an extensive catalog or repository where multiple agencies can access and interactively work with different types of data. By being able to get crucial data to first responders and relief agencies via multiple formats, you can dramatically reduce response time in the field, helping to save lives, property, and infrastructure in the wake of a disaster.
Actionable Visual Intelligence – You need to be able to view data related to disaster planning, response, and recovery in multiple contexts (e.g., desktop, web, mobile, 3D) to fully understand disaster impacts and support decision-making.
Powerful Field Collection and Assessment – You need to be able to assess disaster situations in the field and collect information on the damage to assist in recovery operations.

Hurricane Sandy was the second-costliest hurricane in United States history as well as the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. While it was only a Category 1 storm when it made landfall in the Eastern US, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)). Preliminary estimates assess damage at nearly $75 billion surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina in costs. At least 285 people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries. The severe and widespread damage the storm caused in the United States, as well as its unusual merge with a frontal system, resulted in the nicknaming of the hurricane by the media and several organizations of the U.S. government "Superstorm Sandy
Lucky that Hurricane Sandy stayed 400 miles off the VA coast. Still a large storm that produced a lot of pressure, wind and speed over a 600 mile distance. It still caused flooding in the VA Beach primary in the Lynnhaven Bay area inside the Chesapeake bay. The City was very fortunate to avoid widespread damage
That occurred up North.
This is an example of the Storm Surge model.
Because of the way the wind was blowing and the direction that Sandy was moving – we had high water marks on the ocean side of only 1 foot. Very minimal flooding along the ocean front and not much damage at all.
However in the Lynnhaven Bay since the water was pushed up into it you can see the Pier in the Chesapeake Bay see actually a lot of storm surge going on. That is a 14 foot high pier and that is a storm surge of 15 to 16 feet going in. That ended up pushing the water into the Lynnhaven Bay and causing flooding inside the bay of 5.5 feet.
When Sandy did come through we reported the high water marks.
At the time of the flood we did not have enough detailed data to process what was coming in on the predictive flood. Again, we were predicting a 6.5 elevation and flooding.
And, we really needed for this event to have 1 foot contours but we had 2 foot contours and our spot elevations where not close enough. We had millions of data points from 2004 LIDAR trapped in xyz files. They were trapped in 1500 different tiles and couldn’t be accessed in a timely manner. Our concerns were we knew where we were going to have localized flooding in these areas and there were thousands of residents in these specific areas that were a concern.
Flow Direction/Drainage Inundation Flood prone areas
DEM – lidar topography product that allows for you to do different types of analysis with different types of software. Some of these screen captures are coming from GeoMedia GRID and GeoMedia 3D. Allows you to do the Flow Analysis and the Flood Analysis as well as map the sub contours and visualize that in a 3D system.
Our current DTM was flown in 2004.
It had 1500 XYZ files, 36,000 features in each tile
Basically our old system took months to process each one of the tiles.
So if we wanted to make a 1 foot contour out of our 2 foot contour – we would have to import these files and convert them into a stable file format.
During Sandy, our Intergraph Rep ended up calling us and asking if there was anything they could do to help. We explained we had 1500 xyz tiles and we were trying to do a reverse 911 call. Intergraph gave us access to their FTP site and we uploaded those files to that site.
Intergraph converted each of those tiles to LAS format. They then displayed it on their Apollo Website. And, we were able to download and complete our DEM and hill shades from Apollo website.
THIS ENTIRE PROCESS TOOK LESS THAN 24 hours.
We were facing something that looked like it would take months to do And with Intergraph’s help we were able to turn that information around in 24 hours.
Our digital elevation model has approximately 2000 tiles
We’ve taken the data from a LIDAR now and Mosaicked together to create a continuous point cloud
We’ve also taken out those data holidays using ERDAS software. So if we had a section in the city that has a hole, we can set it to different elevations or resample to fill those holes.
Create one continuous surface
From the LIDAR point could we developed a complete DEM that covers the whole city. The lighter areas are showing the areas that are higher up in the city.
Going back to Hurricane Sandy, we know we have some really low areas that are really susceptible. So we really wanted a tool to predict so we could do our reverse 911. First on the list of priorities was to create continuous inundation surface
Basically we have extents from 0 to 2 feet up to 0 to 12 feet. This is an image that shows the entire city. Average elevation is 12 feet.
We have transferred these into polygons so that if we have any type of localized flooding We will be able to pull those polygons up and do a reverse 911 on those areas using our GeoMedia tools.
This is an example of a spatial query we ran and reran this one during Hurricane Sandy based on the last files that Intergraph provided us. Basically, we went with the Buildings affected by 5.5’ predictive flood elevation we came up with close to 6000 buildings within that range. What we did was take those polygons and transformed them into that reverse 911 system VB alert and broadcast the message out to all of those home owners that were going to be potentially affected by that type of flood. The reason we targeted those 6000 structures is we didn’t want to send out a notification out to the entire city. We have 430,000 residents. We wanted to target the areas because it gives it more impact when you target the area. So they do not ignore the message due to information overload.
But with Intergraph technology we were able to take that information and narrow it down to the target zones.
Looking forward – where we want to go and how we want to improve our notification system. We want to do Additional 3D Modeling using Intergraph GeoMedia 3D tools – here are some screen captures from that. It really helps us notify the public where we have drainage issues, where things are in the flood plains and where our low line and flood prone areas are. We think with 3D models overlaid on top of Arial photography really hits home for the people that are living in those vulnerable areas
Helps us improve the city and the drainage in those areas. And take further flood preventive measures.
Also with 3D modeling we are able to do predictive 3D modeling with the SLOSH, HAZUS Analysis, and especially the
Sea Level Rise
Since we have it in a DTM we are able to do more of that modeling and show the different elevations and do calculations based off the finished first floor elevations – from this we plan to Event/Subject Specific Web Apps so if we have a predictive tidal search coming in from a storm, we would plug the number into our website and it would spit out those polygons with the inundation zones and would come into the emergency center, give the notifications to the decision makers, affected areas, what structures are affected, locations are, what addresses that will help us to determine if we should evacuate an area.
Type in a Storm Tide and have it calculate number of structures affected and their locations.
