States the number of transistors on a chip will double about every two years • Has kept pace for nearly 50 years…. Moore’s Law Gordon Moore's original graph from 1965 • Computers Constantly: Faster, Smaller, Cheaper !!
We’re Americans Dammit… • We Want More!!!! Moore’s Law (Re-Stated) • More Mapping Data ….. • More Data Resolution ….. • More Recent Data …… • More Data Precision ….. • More Data Accuracy ….. • More Sophisticated Data ….. • More Cost-Effective Data ….. • More Data Coverage ….. • More 3-D Data ….. • More Detailed Data ….. • More Metadata …..
Data Storage • Ever Shrinking Devices & Constantly Expanding Requirements 15-Megabytes = $2500 (1985) 128-Megabytes = $10 (2007)
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Rapidly Shrinking GPS Epson / Infineon's Latest GPS Chip
High Resolution Digital Imagery • Shift from Analog to Digital • 100% Digital Work Flows • Next-Generation Coastal Mapping Propeller Scars
Spatial Feature Extraction • Evolving from Manual to Semi-Automated • Spatial “Learning Engines”
Elevation Mapping • LIDAR moved from “experimental” to production mapping • Revolutionized coastal mapping and modeling
Bathymetric Mapping • LIDAR and Side-Scan Sonar
Data Sharing - Pervasive Internet • Everywhere, All the Time Map of the Internet The Opte Project
Data Sharing – Geospatial Web Services • Why Transfer Data – Just Use It !! I Don’t Want Your Data… I Just Want Access To It!
Future is Bright !! • This is Only the Beginning !! GeoTools - 2001 GeoTools - 2009
