- Summary:
- This report from the National Research Council's Steering Committee on New Research Directions for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency details a three-day workshop held in May 2010 in Washington D.C. that explored the evolution of five core research areas--photogrammetry and geomatics, remote sensing and imagery science, geodesy and geophysics, cartographic science, and geographic information systems and geospatial analysis--and identified emerging disciplines that may improve the quality and effectiveness of geospatial intelligence over the next 15 years. These emerging themes include beyond fusion, forecasting, human terrain, participatory sensing, and visual analytics, and the report also discusses implementation implications for the research infrastructure. Workshop participants consisted of researchers from different disciplines and observers from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and other parts of the intelligence community.
