About geomatics, photogrammetry, computer vision and navigation

Geomatics is the science, the technology and the art of acquiring, storing, processing and delivering geoinformation. Photogrammetry, a sub-discipline of geomatics, is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information from noncontact imaging and other sensor systems about the Earth and its environment, and other physical objects and processes through recording, measuring, analyzing and representation. Computer vision is the science and technology of acquiring, processing, analyzing, and understanding images and, in general, high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical or symbolic information. Navigation is the science and
technology of knowing where you are in real time; i.e., is real-time positioning.

Geomatics, as a whole, is a new interdisciplinary field that includes geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing and cartography. Digital photogrammetry and  photogrammetric computer vision are strongly connected to computer vision. Geomatics and navigation have been historically related through shared challenges and tools like positioning, time keeping and map making. Geodesy can be seen as a sub-discipline of mathematics and Earth sciences; modern photogrammetry is sometimes also seen as a branch of computer vision; modern cartography is based on traditional map-making knowledge but also on computer graphics and information science.

Today, geomatics and navigation use and develop technologies like global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou), satellite Earth observation systems, unmanned aerial systems ("drones"), 3D visualization systems, web- and smartphone-based platforms among many other.
