• Introduction to DigitalGlobe• E-Governance• Geo-Governance• Use of Satellite Imagery in Geo-

Governance

• First company to receive a high-resolution commercial remote sensing license from the U.S. Government

• First company to launch sub-meter high resolution commercial satellite (QuickBird satellite)

• First company to offer online, subscription-based access to imagery with web services (GlobeXplorer acquisition)

• First (and only) company to provide high-resolution 8-Band Imagery (WorldView-2 satellite)

• Largest commercial imagery library in the world

eGovernance• eGovernance

– Application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for delivering government services, between Government-to-Citizens (G2C), Government-to-Business(G2B),Government-to-Government( G2G)

• eServices– Through eGovernance, the government services will be

made available to the citizens in a convenient, efficient and transparent manner.

• The three main target groups – Government– Citizens– Businesses/interest groups

eGovernance

• Information that are extracted needs to be – Consistency– Standardize– Authoritative

• Government will need to set up an infrastructure to share the relevant information to the relevant parties – Creation of NSDI– Policies of sharing – Cost of sharing

• Maintain and update Information – Continuity– Consistency

eGovernance Life Cycle

Implementation(Taxation/Fees/Fines/Credits)

- Property taxes- Storm Water fees- Ilegal Cons- Carbon Credits- Agriculture Subsidies- …

Monitoring- Monitor urban growth- Illegal Construction/- Disaster Response- Borders- Forestation/Deforestation- …

Planning- Infrastructure/Transportation planning- Emergency Planning- Landuse- Watershed- Security- …

Mapping- Regulate development of

residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial zones

- Parcels or cadastre mapping for federal, state, and city wide records

- Planimetric Mapping- Topographic Maps- Landuse/Landcover- Natural Resources- …

Geo-Governance

• Use of Geospatial Technology to enable eGovernance

• Geo-Governance technologies include– Remote sensing– GIS– CAD

• Imagery seen as the basic building block

Imagery as the Organization Principle

Use of Imagery in Geo-Governance

• Address Geo-Governance needs:– Topographic Mapping– Elevation Models– Landcover– Cadastral/Parcel Mapping with

Imagery– Other Layers

• Continuously updates & refresh database – Change Detection

Land Sustainability

• Common Objectives: – Understand Land Holdings/Ownership– For planning/zoning– Mitigate encroachments– Identify Illegal land activities

• DG Solution: – Cadastral Map– Land Parcels Maps– Countrywide mosaics– Monitoring Services

Food Sustainability

• Common Objectives:– Self sufficiency in food resources– Balance food imports and exports– Map all agricultural fields in the country– Monitor crops and commodities

• DG Solution: – Agriculture cadastre map– Crop classification layer– Soils map

Water Sustainability

• Common Objectives:– Enough Potable Water for citizens– Agriculture Irrigation programs– Flood mitigation programs

• DG Solutions: – Watershed DEM’s, – Viewshed Analysis for Dam flooding– Landcover maps that can be used for planning

Natural Resources Management

• Common Objectives:– Map and monitor natural resources including forests,

coastal areas, energy, mining

• DG Solutions:– Coastal Maps (Bathymetry, Bottom Type, Sea Grasses)– Landcover (Forestry, Water Bodies, Wetlands)– DEM’s for Mining– Landcover for Environmental Impact Assessment for

Oil&Gas/Mining
