On the InterGeo 2011
CycloMedia demonstrated
their panoramic imagery
which take away those
barriers and brings the 3rd
dimension to your desktop.
In line with last year, there is not
only a 3-day exhibition, but also an
30
academic conference, this year
supplemented with a Navigation
Conference and the first ever
Intergeo BarCamp – an open
space conference devoted to Open
Street Map.
Esri IT Strategies Architect
explains where

the company
stands at the moment in
adopting this new technology
trend and announces a new
partnership and a private
cloud platform.
Two examples from research at
the Institute of Cartography
36
and Geoinformatics at Leibniz
Universität Hannover,
Germany, are given in order to
illustrate the potential and application
areas of geosensor
networks in an exemplary fashion.

The booster Soyuz-2.1b, carrying
a Global Navigation
Satellite System (Glonass) satellite,
was successfully launched
from the Plesetsk spaceport and
put into orbit. Space Troop
teams monitored the launch through
the ground automated
control system.
The GeoWeb
48
brings up more
and more new ways of mapping
the world that put the traditional
distance-based god’s
eye view of the map on the
edge. This article give a short
overview about the changing
landscape of mapping from
the author’s point of view.
The development of the new
close-range digital imaging,
photogrammetric and laser
scanning technologies is
having a huge impact on the
measurement, recording,
depiction and analysis of
cultural heritage sites and objects
world-wide – as revealed
at the recent ISPRS conference
held in York, England.
