Elements of GEOINT Sensors – active and passive Platforms – satellites, aircraft, other Imagery – raster data model (continuous) Processing – feature extraction, etc Features – vector data model (discrete) Field Collection – GPS, field survey Socio-Cultural – demographic data Databases – storage, query, retrieval, etc Analytics – spatial statistics, etc Visualization – graphic representation Tradecraft – collation & interpretation

Defining GEOINT (academic) • Geospatial intelligence is actionable
knowledge, a process, and a profession. It is the ability to describe, understand, and interpret so as to anticipate the human impact of an event or action within a spatiotemporal environment. It is also the ability to identify, collect, store, and manipulate data to create geospatial knowledge through critical thinking, geospatial reasoning, and analytical techniques. Finally, it is the ability to present knowledge in a way that is appropriate to the decision-making environment. – Todd Bacastow & Dennis Bellafiore
