3D GEODATA FOR SOLAR RESOURCE ASSESSMENTS

Image
Solar energy is used worldwide and currently, we are witnessing an increasing trend in its usage for generating electricity and heating/desalinating water. Today, Photovoltaics (PV), also called solar cells, is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies and is ready to play a major role in the future global electricity generation mix. Solar PV installations can be combined to provide electricity on a commercial scale, or arranged in smaller configurations for mini-grids or personal use. Using solar PV to power mini-grids is an excellent way to bring electricity access to people who do not live near power transmission lines, particularly in developing countries with excellent solar energy  resources. SOLAR ROOF PV POTENTIAL MODELLING Solar resource assessments are a core method for developing and deploying solar energy plants. In turn, 3D buildings and 3D vegetation are key initial sources for evaluating solar resource availability and running solar energy simulations. Hig

  DIGITIZE THE WORLD USING AI VISICOM BUILDINGS FOOTPRINTS Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has entered the everyday life of many companies in the world, from sorting parcels to writing program code and launching rockets into space. Visicom team are also in trend, and therefore developed and implemented the technology of recognizing satellite images based on AI, or to be more accurate — machine learning (ML), which analyzes each pixel and determines the class to which a particular pixel belongs and accordingly transfers data from the raster to a vector with corresponding attributes. Below is more about our achievements. AI BUILDING FOOTPRINTS — PRODUCT FEATURES: · Aut o mated production (99% of buildings > 25 sq.m matched automatically by the machine learning algorithm) · Completeness (achieved 100% coverage due to manual post-processing and validation) · 3m SE90 accuracy · Rapid production of countrywide building footprints dataset · Available worldwide · Based on up-to-date sat

From Image to Georeferenced Reality

Image
Did you know that although the first image from space was taken in 1946 and Landsat sensors have a commercial use since 1980, sub-meter imagery has been actively used only for the last 15 years? More than 12 sensors with the resolution from 0,25m and better are currently commercially available on the market, which leads to a constant increase of capability for further detalization of digital mapping products. Owing to the usage of AI/ML technics for imagery processing, the increasing data amounts can be processed and Geocode reference data can be extracted not only for precise city map but also for modeling at a countrywide scale. The Geocode reference data bring a complex representation of reality and utilizes all available location data into the united homogeneous model. It also can become a crucial factor in Telecom/Urban Planning/GIS and Web-application empowering the market needs with extra accuracy. Application of precise and more detailed geodata opens new o

MAPPING ALL OF VIETNAM

Image
The Vietnam nationwide coverage created by Visicom includes: 331210 sq.km of Regional countrywide model; 3D models of 74 Vietnam cities; Population maps of all Vietnam; Population maps of all 74 cities; Geo-database with semantic infrastructure information: 314 532 POIs. In order to complete the project and ensure the required accuracy it was bought over 95 stereo-pairs of satellite imageries with 0.3-0.5 m/pixel resolution. Accurate and reliable spatial orientation of them was made based on the set of 200 GCPs (Ground Control Points). 3D CITIES - KEY FIGURES: Total area - 5053 sq.km; Buildings quantity: 12,000,000; Roads network: 75 000 km; 2 m resolution of DTM, DSM, Clutter, Clutter heights; 2-3 m accuracy in all parameters. The vegetation layers and their heights were captured using the recognition algorithms which are based on the artificial intelligence (AI), in particular neutral networks.  The geo-database might be used further across multiple indu

5G POWERING FUTURE CITIES

Image
5G will unleash the potential of smart cities and IoT, bringing together all people and all things, speed of networks will increase several times, the bandwidth of the network will also increase, and new opportunities will be opened for coverage not only in densely built-up areas of the city but also in villages and the suburbs. In the near future, most of the various devices will be available online, Internet will provide multimedia services, IoT solutions and alternative / extended realities. These new technologies are already reflected in many aspects of human life; in the future, they will become a part of our normal life: energy, production, business, transport, manufacturing, public, safety, etc, says Dr. Volodymyr Kolinko, CEO, Visicom company, Ukrainian Geodata manufacturer.

VISICOM AND 5G: BIG NEW GENERATION

Image
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL 5G REQUIREMENT CREATING DIGITAL MAPS 5G (fifth generation) it is the abbreviated name of the fifth-generation mobile communication, which is able to replace the present 3G and 4G. This abbreviation hides a whole set of technologies, many of them are still under construction. The completion of the testing part and approval of standards is anticipated prior to 2020. The implementation of the fifth generation of mobile networks guarantees to become a revolutionary breakthrough in communications because of subsequent innovations: New ranges Network slicing D2D (Device-to-device) Massive MIMO Technology VISICOM'S GEODATA Company Visicom creates its own maps taking into considering all the features of the fifth generation of telecommunication networks.  3D maps for 5G planning - this is the type of maps that produced specifically for the fifth generation of networks, inside of cities.  5G network planning in subur
