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.
