2012 Highlight (3): Big Data Computing for Geospatial
US President Barack Obama’s administration announced a ‘Big Data’
research and development initiative in response to processing the
large amount of data collected by geospatial and other systems.
Under this initiative, several federal government agencies, NSF,
USGS, DARPA, DOD, NIH, and DOE, commitment for the programs total
$200 million.
Big data refers to the rising flood of digital data from many sources,
including the sensors, digitizers, scanners, software-based modeling,
mobile phones, internet, videos, e-mails, and social network communications.
The data type could be texts, geometries, images, videos, sounds,
or their combination. Many of such data are directly or indirectly
related to geospatial information. The emerging opportunity arises
from combining these diverse data sources with greatly improving
computing tools and techniques needed to access, organize, analyze,
visualize, and extract useful information from huge diverse data
sets.
