2:55 PM Explaining the Benefits of Object-Based Analysis (OBA) To Enable Richer Geospatial Intelligence Now and in the Future
The science and art of geospatial analysis are changing. Object-Based Analysis (OBA) moves the analyst’s thinking from differences between maps and images to a knowledge-dialog where the analyst examines data changes in space and time. This departs from the conventional GEOINT approach where the map layer is the organizing construct.
- Object-Based Analysis (OBA) is driven by the move to Object-Based Intelligence (OBI)
- In OBA, the geospatial analyst thinks in terms of a narrative in space and time
- Activity-based intelligence (ABI) is OBA
- Implications of OBA to the tradecraft and learning are far reaching
