8 A r t i c l e DigitalGlobe is driven by its purpose, vision and values and plans to continue growing and bringing attention to world issues through satellite imagery and analysis, helping first responders on the ground after major world events. Tajalei village, Sudan-March 8, 2011: At least 300 buildings at Tajalei village in Sudan’s Abyei region were intentionally destroyed by fire, according to Satellite Sentinel Project analysis of this DigitalGlobe satellite image, taken March 8 and analyzed by UNITAR/UNOSAT and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, with additional analysis by DigitalGlobe. Roughly two-thirds of those buildings appear to be consistent with civilian residential structures, known as tukuls. Adding predictive analytics and crowdsourcing capabilities Satellite images can have an incredible impact in the aftermath of natural disasters and crises. As satellites get better and better, mapping accuracy becomes more important - it’s a central part of what DigitalGlobe and other industry leaders have been doing. The data DigitalGlobe provides is accurate enough for end users to build maps and projects remotely. This enables the company to move beyond providing only raw data to now being able to deliver insight and analysis that can be integrated with the imagery. DigitalGlobe has a constellation of five high-resolution satellites, a worldwide network of polar and equatorial remote ground terminals, and billions of square kilometers of archived, highresolution imagery. DigitalGlobe analysts are also capable of examining a crisis situation and predicting possible outcomes before and after an event occurs. Additionally, by acquiring Tomnod, Digital - Globe can add crowdsourced human analysis and deliver even more value to customers. Tomnod has been at the forefront of innovation in the growing field of crowdsourcing of earth observation imagery. Tomnod’s advanced data reliability algorithm, CrowdRank, ensures that contributions from the crowd are properly filtered and weighted to maximize accuracy. By tracking crowd members’ contributions over time, CrowdRank is able to rank the individual members of the crowd by tracking the areas of agreement and disagreement. This enables the system to identify inaccurate and even malicious contributions to truly leverage the wisdom of the crowd. Digital - Globe will continue offering Tomnod’s rapid information capture and validation services directly to customers. In addition, information gained by the service will increasingly act as a key data source for DigitalGlobe’s analytics team, enabling them to provide more accurate insight and analysis to customers faster. These improvements to DigitalGlobe Ana - lytics are in support of the company’s vision of being the indispensable source of information about our changing planet by 2020. Seeing a better world with a global team of experts DigitalGlobe’s analytics team isn’t only engaged in times of crisis. Satellite mapping, imagery and analysis play an important role in preserving important historical sites, conserving natural resources and helping governments in developing countries create food and water sustainability. Digital - Globe’s analysts can assist several other industries beyond government disaster relief, such as the oil, gas and insurance industry to determine oil inventory and monitor insured assets. Last year, DigitalGlobe delivered high resolution satellite imagery of significant heritage sites for the Global Heritage Network, an early warning monitoring system for endangered cultural sites. In addition, DigitalGlobe is currently monitoring 16 glaciers for Extreme Ice Survey and has been working with the Jane Goodall Institute for several years, providing satellite imagery of areas in Tanzania, Uganda and Congo in order to make effective conservation decisions. The new DigitalGlobe analytics team includes expert analysts from all over the globe who have experience in disaster management, predictive analytics and now crowdsourcing. DigitalGlobe is looking forward to expanding its value with World - View-3, which is expected to launch in mid- 2014. The enhanced capabilities of the WorldView-3 satellite will enable a wider range of new automated applications in industries, such as defense, intelligence, land use, water management, mining, oil and gas, environmental monitoring, disaster and humanitarian relief. Ultimately, DigitalGlobe is equipped to provide even more answers to customers, helping them save time, resources and lives. Every day, the company strives to see a better world by giving customers the power to see the Earth clearly and in new ways and enabling them to make our world a better place.
