The geospatial industry is evolving with GIS software incorporating cloud computing and AI for improved data processing and analysis.
Blue Marble Geographics has introduced Geographic Calculator Cloud, a cloud-based solution for geodetic transformations and Global Mapper Insight and Learning Engine, an AI tool for point cloud classification.
Geographic Calculator Cloud enables coordinate transformations, geodetic calculations, and vector file translations from any location, catering to industries like surveying and engineering.
Backed by the GeoCalc coordinate system library, the platform provides precise coordinate reference conversions and enhances workflow efficiency through cloud accessibility.
Future updates will extend Geographic Calculator Cloud with a map file viewer and more geodetic processing tools, aligning it closely with the desktop version.
The Global Mapper Insight and Learning Engine leverages deep learning for object detection in point clouds, facilitating automated feature identification with custom training models.
Blue Marble Geographics plans to expand object detection models further to support a wider range of features and streamline GIS workflows.
The company's commitment to user-driven innovation is evident in the evolution of Global Mapper, recognized for its impact in the geospatial industry.
In 2025, Blue Marble Geographics aims to amplify AI integration and cloud computing in its software suite, offering advanced deep learning models and enhanced GIS tools.
The GEOTalks User Conference in January 2025 will showcase the capabilities and roadmap of Geographic Calculator Cloud and other innovations.
