What3words divides the world into a 3 * 3-meter grid, each square is uniquely identified by three words which creates a global reference system that allows people to identify and navigate between these 3*3 meter squares using 3 words instead of longitude and latitude. Three words are easy to remember and provide an easy and effective way of communicating location to voice-enabled machines. Listen to this interview with one of the co-founders of what3words, Jack Waley-Cohen to learn more about the problems what3words is solving and the thought that goes into building a coordinate system for humans.

A platform that takes video and creates 3D mapping layers based on that data. The video can be from avariety of different sensors, does not need to be vertically looking down on the geography and each 3D output is georeferenced!
The applications of the satellite systems are endless and we separate them into different market segments. For example,agriculture,location-based services (mainly phones),transport usages (navigation on roads, rail or maritime), andaviation (landing procedures heavily rely on EGNOS).Thegeomatics market is important; it’s a segment that’s usually the first adopter because they need the highest precision locationing.
Super-resolution originates from the computer vision domain.The quality of an image is defined by its resolution. Super-resolution gives you a better image by applying an algorithm — to get a higher resolved image. It’s like upsampling, just smarter.
