Session Overview
We have available computing power undreamed of just a generation ago. New phenomenologies are now available. At the same time, the GEOINT community is dealing with problems qualitatively different from those confronted in years past. How can the GEOINT community bring these new capabilities to bear on traditional and emerging GEOINT issues? Which capabilities, new or old, can best help solve recently-arising GEOINT problems?
The concept of GEOINT Analytics includes, but is not limited to:
• Massive Geospatial Data
• New sources and sensors
• Visual Analytics
• Predictive intelligence
• Signature development & discovery
• Precision GEOINT
• Public Derived Data Analysis
• Improving access to, and use of GEOINT content and services
• Strategic indications and warning
• Surface, subsurface, and above surface GEOINT
• GEOINT tradecraft
• Human Activity Analysis
• Spatial and Temporal Analysis
• Data Fusion
• Computational Geo-Analytics
• Evidence Based Anticipatory Analysis
