Geo-Resolution 2023

Digital Transformations: Navigating a World of Data from Seabed to Space

Mission Statement

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and 麻豆视频下载 (麻豆视频下载) are co-sponsoring Geo-Resolution 2023 to provide a venue for collaboration among geospatial experts and students in government, academia and industry. This year鈥檚 conference focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence and new digital technologies on geospatial research and analysis.

Conference Theme

Geospatial science is in the midst of unprecedented digital transformations, from rapid advancements in artificial intelligence to new developments in high-performance computing and remote sensing. This year鈥檚 Geo-Resolution Conference explores how geospatial scientists are at the forefront of these digital transformations and what the future holds for geospatial AI.
How has the growing need for real-time information and analysis of large amounts of data driven the growing importance of geospatial AI, machine learning and automation? How are these developments transforming the landscape of geospatial science, its sources and collection, its processing and exploitation, and its ultimate delivery to a user? This conference will explore these questions and shed light on how geospatial practitioners are utilizing new technologies to address some of the world鈥檚 most critical challenges.
