  3. Market Dynamics in Rapid Changing Industry Driver: • Rising number of applications that needs orthoimagery. • Increasing number of users as they realize the benefits of using geospatial data, especially orthoimagery, and analytical. technologies for their information needs. • increasing popularity of location-based services.

  4. Market Dynamics in Rapid Changing Industry Change: • New sensor technologies, both in aerial and space systems offer new and improved information capabilities. • Just this year, NOAA authorized the sale of high resolution space (25 cm GSD) imagery to public. • The use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) is expected to create new opportunities for data providers and end users.

  5. Market Dynamics in Rapid Changing Industry New Business Model: • Crucial to their survival, consolidation (buy up) of small firms into a larger one. • Crucial to their survival, in several cases, satellite and aerial data producers have formed strategic partnerships to enhance each others’ market opportunities. • The emergence of crowdsourcing of data contents model: Hexagon purchasing NWG/Valtus. • The emergence of Google imagery services (aerial and space images).

  6. Market Dynamics in Rapid Changing Industry New Business Model: Crowdsourcing of data contents model: Hexagon • Through Web-based data distribution tools, customers access multiple resolution imagery layers including: • The most current 1-meter ADS100 digital NAIP imagery • High-resolution aerial and satellite imagery • Middle to lower resolution satellite imagery for large area analysis. • They also sale customer's privately owned imagery. • They sale LiDAR data as well. • Subscription based.

  7. Market Dynamics in Rapid Changing Industry New Business Model: Google imagery services (15 cm ortho) They offer flexible ways to consume the data. 1) Users can access imagery from Google data centers and use it online in several ways: •View it in your desktop GIS system via WMS • Include it with your Google Maps v3 JavaScript API web application • Overlay it directly within Google Earth • View it on native mobile applications and mobile websites2) Own it with three years subscription.

  8. Market Dynamics in Rapid Changing Industry Google imagery services (15 cm ortho) • Woolpert is a Google partner and can help users understand how it works • Google 15 cm ortho is delivered with: • accuracy of 1 m • Projected in WGS84 • Jpeg2000 format • Woolpert can deliver enhanced version of the data with: • Accuracy according to ASPRS map accuracy standard • Projected to state plane in NAD83 • User preferred file format • Tiled according to user’s tiling scheme

  9. Market Forecast • Mapping companies will continue to provide their custom services to federal and local government clients. • Crowdsourcing and Google imagery will slowly penetrate state wide projects market. • Increased partnership is expected between services such as Google imagery and mapping companies for value added services. • New space-based imagery with GSD of 30 cm will take over part of the aerial market. • Web servicing of data will grow steeply in the next 10 years.

  10. Market Forecast • As cost goes down and more advancement in oblique viewer software, the use of oblique imagery will grow rapidly in the next few years. • 3-dimensional GIS for urban areas will gain a healthy growth in the next decade or so • Every pixel will have an elevation value tagged to it. People will look use the ortho as 3D and not 2D. • photo-realistic 3D environments
