Analytics and Data Summit 2019

Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi), the Irish national mapping agency, maintains national spatial data sets and creates mapping products for government agencies and the public. Achieving a leadership role in national mapping meant many challenges: dealing with the explosion of remotely sensed data, point clouds, aerial photos and satellite imagery, needing to automate complex workflow processes, and sharing data widely with the public. With the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Spatial and Graph, and Exadata platform, OSi has addressed these challenges. OSi has been using OCI to process large volumes of point cloud datafor point cloud creation, point cloud classification, and change detection. OSi have also leveraged OCI compute processing to automate portions of its imagery flowlines: automatic seam line generation, automated radiometry and the creation and publication of mosaic data sets. OSi are also investigating the possibility of moving its map archive containing data from 1824 onwards onto the OCI platform.
