Public-Private Partnership – An Industry Perspective

1. Public-Private Partnership – An Industry Perspective Kumar Navulur, PhD

2. Agenda • Public Private Partnership (PPP) Models • PPP Benefits • PPP & Geospatial Market • Imagery • Geospatial Services • Creating Nationwide Geospatial Databases

3. US Public Private Partnership Models • Build-Transfer or Turnkey (BT) • Build-Lease-Transfer (BLT) • Build-Transfer-Operate or Design-Build-Operate (BTO) • Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) • Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) or Build-Own-Operate (BOO)

4. US PPP Benefits • In a 1998 survey by the U.S. Council of State Governments, PPP Benefits include: • Cost savings 40.9% • Lack of in-house personnel and expertise 32.5% • Lack of State support of political leadership 30.8% • Flexibility and less red tape 23.8% • Speedy implementation 21.4% • Increased innovations 20.4% • High quality of service 18.5% • Other 10.6%

5. PPP & Geospatial Market (Imagery) • Satellite & Aerial Industry is a great example of PPP • Private Industry designs, builds, and launches the satellite or does aerial acquisition • Public Government uses mechanisms such as NextView, Enhanced View contracts to supplement/complement their imagery needs

6. PPP & Geospatial Market (Geospatial Services) • Production Services • Image Processing • LiDAR/Radar processing • Image Analysis & Exploitation • GIS services • Example Geospatial Projects: • US Census TIGER/MAF Modernization Project (5 year project) • USDA NAIP

7. Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model • Data • Trends in Data • Increasing accuracy • Number of sources increasing • Errors • Important to account for error propagation • Design the geospatial databases/Infrastructure for long term use

8. Frequency 30 Day Window at ~º28 latitude More…Accesses 28 total accesses Panchromatic Access : 28 Multispectral Access: 19 Stereo Access: 22 Better…Collection 7 Intraday revisit Faster…Refresh Results based on 30º off nadir

9. WorldView-1 & 2 CE90% Certified at 3.5m CE90% Satellite Accuracy • With Worldview, accuracy within 4.1 meters, allowing creation of ortho products/ maps with high positional accuracy WorldView-2 Port Botany, AustraliaOctober 20, 2009 QuickBird CE90% Radius = 23 m DigitalGlobe Proprietary 9

10. More Than One BILLION km² - and Counting… Superior imagery collection capability delivers a rich and dependable information source • 24 Million km² • 43 Million km² • 43 Million km² • 45 Million km² • 57 Million km² • 87 Million km² • 267 Million km² • 241 Million km² • 500 Million km² Projected

38. Elevation Models Derived from Satellite Stereo

39. Bathymetry WV2 Imagery Bathymetry map (sp. res. 2m)

40. Automated Feature Extraction Landuse/Landcover Layer Water Feature extraction accuracies >90% with 8 bands, Greater detail in feature extraction with 8 bands (e.g. tree classes) Railroad Residential Wetlands Grass Recreation Commercial Roads and Parking Lots

41. Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model • Processing • Data & Processes need to be co-located • Exploit faster computing methodologies • Take advantage of cloud (computing and storage) • Plan for IT/Storage (short term and long term)

42. Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model • Analysis • Analysis requires specialized skills • Multi-disciplinary skills • Image Analysis borrowing skills from Robotics, Machine Vision, medical imaging, etc. • Private Industry investing in analysis skills as well as automation

43. Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model • Dissemination & Sharing • Minimize Data Latency • Enhance Data Access • Ensure consistent Data Nomenclature

44. Creating Nationwide Databases – the PPP Model • DigitalGlobe Contributions • Cutting edge satellite systems • New spectral bands/sensors for information and insight • Investment in storage/processing/dissemination technologies • Innovation through R&D
