By Mansour Raad, BigData Advocate, Senior Software Architect, Esri
Noon - 1:30, Thursday September 21. Room K401, CGIS Knafel building, 1737 Cambridge St.
Abstract: Some say that BigData is about volume, velocity, variety. I say it is more about when the traditional means are failing you. In this talk, in-production examples of the usage of BigData in a geospatial context will be presented ranging from the Port or Rotterdam to Kuwait and spanning government and private industries like insurance, telecom, marketing. New BigData visualization techniques taking advantage of GPU will be discusses. And finally, with the reemergence of AI, we will talk about Geo.AI and its applications in newer ways for solve geospatial challenges with imagery and vector data.
