New Web App: Mapping Daily Confirmed COVID-19 Cases in NSW by Postcode and LGA

2020-11-27T23:17:39+11:00April 11th, 2020|Apps, Australia, Census, Cloud Computing, Emergency, Exposure, Geospatial Big Data Analytics, Location Intelligence, Major Events, Risk|

11 April 2020 Strongly motivated by the recent release of more detailed COVID-19 data by the New South Wales (NSW) Government, we have developed a new web app that maps the daily confirmed COVID-19 cases in Sydney and NSW by Postcode and Local Government Area (LGA). Please note that so far the [...]

New Tile Maps on Terrain and Hydrology: Part 3 (Increasing Details)

2020-10-03T00:48:56+10:00December 9th, 2019|APIs, Apps, Australia, Emergency, Exposure, Flood, Geospatial Big Data Analytics, Insurance, Location Intelligence, Property Information, Risk|

9 December 2019 LiDAR point clouds can represent 3D features very accurately, but due to their large data sizes, point clouds are commonly turned into easy-to-use DEMs at various spatial resolutions (e.g. 1m, 5m or 10m). Such DEMs are increasingly available via government web portals. The vertical accuracy of 1m-resolution Lidar-derived DEMs [...]

9 December 2019 Many of us work with elevation data (e.g. LiDAR point clouds and Digital Elevation Models - DEMs) on a daily basis. Nowadays there are an increasing number of government sources for open elevation data, including high-quality, LiDAR-derived DEMs. As we have recently introduced (link to the previous blog), elevation data [...]

New Tile Maps on Terrain and Hydrology: Part 1 (Enriching Google Maps)

2020-10-16T00:28:14+11:00September 18th, 2019|APIs, Apps, Australia, Emergency, Exposure, Flood, Geospatial Big Data Analytics, Insurance, Location Intelligence, Property Information, Risk|

18 September 2019 Google Maps is very popular and easy to use, and many of us would have imagined creating and delivering domain-specific mapping layers in the same or similar way Google Maps does. To realise this, we have recently created and released a set of new, high-resolution tiled web maps (or tile [...]

New R&D in Property Location and Hazard Risk Analytics: A Transformative Journey from Desktop Computing to Cloud Computing

2021-03-08T14:10:46+11:00August 12th, 2019|APIs, Apps, Asia, Australia, Emergency, Exposure, Flood, Geospatial Big Data Analytics, Insurance, Location Intelligence, Property Information, Risk, USA|

12 August 2019 Over the past four years we have been undertaking significant new R&D in property location and hazard risk analytics with cloud computing. In particular, we have developed an organic set of products based on three new technologies (Web APIs, Web Apps and Web Maps) to support two cloud-based geospatial [...]
