Geomatics covers the science and technology of gathering different sources of geospatial data, which after storing, interpreting, analyzing, modelling and distributing, can be turned into useful geographic information. Geomatics involves the tools and techniques used in surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, satellite navigation systems, geographical information systems and other earth-related disciplines.

Free imagery for your research

For the first-time ever, remote sensing and GIS researchers have access to high-resolution imagery with 8 spectral bands, including coastal blue, yellow, red-edge and NIR2. Do you have a valuable application to use this new data?

Enter the 8-Band Challenge to get free imagery for your research and a chance to win $5,000 and present your findings at Geospatial World Forum in January!

DigitalGlobe will make 8-band imagery available to qualifying researchers to study the impact of using this data for:

Land Use/Land Cover Analysis
Environmental Mapping and Monitoring
Coastal Habitat Mapping
Feature Extraction
and more..

5 Winners and 10 Runners up will be selected
