Abstract:The development of global informatization and its integration with industrialization symbolizes that human society has entered into the big data era.This article covers seven new characteristics of Geomatics(i.e.ubiquitous sensor,multi-dimensional dynamics,integration via networking,full automation in real time,from sensing to recognition,crowdsourcing and volunteered geographic information,and serviceoriented science),and puts forward the corresponding critical technical challenges in the construction of integrated space-air-ground geospatial networks.Through the discussions outlined in this paper,we propose a new development stage of Geomatics entitled‘Connected Geomatics,’which is defined as a multi-disciplinary science and technology that uses systematic approaches and integrates methods of spatio-temporal data acquisition,information extraction,network management,knowledge discovery,and spatial sensing and recognition,as well as intelligent location-based services pertaining to any physical objects and human activities on the earth.It is envisioned that the advancement of Geomatics will make a great contribution to human sustainable development.
