| How Does a Digital City Model Compare to a Digital Rural Model? |
|
"Digital city models are much better known than digital rural models. While buildings and infrastructure are likely to be modeled within cities, land and associated land operations and environmental parameters are more likely candidates for modeling the digital pathways stretching across rural and remote areas."

WHITE PAPER: Extending 3D Models Beyond Application Dead Ends We are quickly moving toward a world where intelligent 3D models will interface with sensor systems for a realistic, up-to-date picture of our world. But for this vision to become a reality, we need compatibility and connectivity between different tools, data types and data models. Vector1 Media has partnered with Safe Software to explore this interoperability between 3D data formats.

| Micro-Location Overview: Beyond the Metre...to the Centimetre |
 Advances in tracking and location technologies are enabling new application development. These applications can be found in environmental, utility, transport and other industrial applications. Many new approaches are being developed for more personal and local use and these applications include in-store location, hospitals, airports and inside buildings. In this column Steven Feldman takes a look at some of these applications and provides his unique views on some of the recent developments. |
 America’s first-ever climate change president, Barrack Obama is making substantial changes in the way we approach energy, the environment, and our economy. These changes will impact how we manage where our energy comes from (the supply side) and how we use it (the demand side). This will not only affect the future of our economy and our national security, it will also have tremendous influence on the sustainability of our country and planet. |

| ASPRS Reflects on the Past, and Provides a Vision for the Future |
 The 75th annual American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Annual Conference took place in Baltimore, Maryland from March 9-13, 2009. This landmark event drew an international audience of more than 1,500 people, with the theme, "Reflection of the Past, Vision for the Future". The reflection portion of the theme was evident in a multimedia exhibit that recounted the history of the society as well as a special anniversary celebration.
