Nikki Wayant from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) talks about the organization's Enhanced Terrain Processing efforts during an October 14, 2022 episode of the Power of ERDC podcast. Wayant is research geographer at ERDC’s Geospatial Research Laboratory and task lead for the Enhanced Terrain Processing effort. ERDC is developing a series of tools that enable Army geospatial engineers to rapidly process new remotely sensed imagery from a variety of sources and use it to analyze current terrain conditions. Wayant talks about the challenges caused by outdated geospatial data (3:17), the wide range of tools and terrain analysis products available through the Enhanced Terrain Processing effort (14:55), how these tools allow data to be combined in new ways (18:37, 23:32) and how they enable mission success (12:48). She also discusses the relationship with the Army Geospatial Center’s Military Support Team and how it enables better products (20:23), when the tools will be available to Soldiers (20:06), how the effort has evolved through machine learning (30:16), and what the future holds for it (31:58). The Power of ERDC podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at ERDC’s involvement in solving some of the nation’s toughest engineering challenges.
