Summary
United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) Young Professionals Group (YPG) Members discuss keynotes, breakout sessions, panels, networking, and the future of geospatial at the nation’s largest intelligence event of the year.
Description
“I think the most notable part of the panel came from Shay Har-Noy, CEO of Tomnod. In his speech he told a story about how some time ago some of his friends went missing while hiking in Peru,”said Sondag.“In response, he acquired commercial imagery and published it to the web so that he could do a crowdsource analysis of the imagery for traces of his missing friends in the hopes of locating and saving them.Despite the tragic end to this story, it was an excellent example of the power, scale,and usefulness of leveraging the crowd in for geospatial applications.”
