Researchers at the University of Copenhagen utilized a combination of thermal cameras, computer vision technology, and GIS analytics to
geo-reference the movements of pedestrians in order to asses public spaces.

The GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) is seeking candidates for the inaugural GISP certification exam. About five years ago,
GISCI began exploring changing the requirements for obtaining a GISP from its portfolio-only based requirements. After launching a formal review
in 2011, GISCI finally announced earlier this year that it would be adding an examination component to the GISP process. This change

Geospatial Book PickThe
Look of Maps: An Examination of Cartographic Design is a cartographic classic by Arthur H. Robinson originally published
in 1952. The book was based on Robinson’s doctoral research “which investigated the relationship between science and art in cartography
and the resultant refinement of graphic techniques in mapmaking to present dynamic geographic information.” |

When Raphael Pirker needed overhead shots for a commercial he was filming at the University of Virginia,
instead of spending thousands of dollars to rent a helicopter, he attached a camera to a 5-lb. (2.3 kilograms) model airplane, creating a custom drone
to capture high-flying aerial views of the campus. A year earlier, the 29-year-old photographer piloted a similar drone around the Statue of Liberty
in New York, buzzing the monument's iconic crown and recording stunning close-up views of Liberty Island and downtown Manhattan. Drones have been used by the military
for decades, but Pirker's videos offer a glimpse of just one possible way these robotic fliers could be used in the future. As advances in technology
have made drones smaller and more accessible, their potential applications are extending far beyond their use as warfighters for the military or toys
for hobbyists. Order now: The
Future of Drones |
