Future Considerations (GIS BB)
The following aspects are on the future scope for the GIS Building Block specifications considered in this document:
Processing of raster data (e.g., satellite and drone imagery, gridded data) such as performing image classification, image enhancement, segmentation, and other types of analysis.
Performing complex geospatial analysis, such as spatial interpolation or complex spatial statistics (e.g., spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression)
Handling and performing analysis of geometric networks (typically associated with rules-based networks such as water distribution lines, power utilities, electrical lines, gas pipelines, telephone services, and stream/river water flows).
Sharing and accessing GIS 3D data models such as TINs, BLMs, and scenery.
Analysis of 3D GIS data models such as performing LiDAR analysis, volumetric calculations, or 3D modeling.
Supporting time-based dynamic tracking of objects, whether those that are GPS/sensor-based such as Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) or spatiotemporal based on time-stamped such as traffic accidents or weather storms.
