Bhuvan: India's answer to Google Earth and Wikimapia

[nitesh]

Guys Bhuvan will not be used in any militay option is is commercial use only.

For use in military check IRNSS

this is pretty much a normal knee jerk reaction to something shocking but true. you either dont know how to read and understand or you just randomly replied to a lone post without even knowing the context behind it.



and so just cuz Indian media or the warmonger Indian military says so you are gonna open your hearts out and actually believe everything what they say? 40 training camps? are you sure they are not 400 stretched all across pakistan and not to forget "lahore" which apparently was in hit list by IAF few months ago.. its funny that these pathological liars claim such big stuff yet they show little or no prove and yet people like you actually fall for their false claims. its also funny that like you have claimed to stop or kill 90% of infiltration from pak and yet we see very little on the news and what ever it is its no more then 20-30 freedom fighters killed (most of them fake encounters while poor civilians playing the "ISI" trained terrorists role) and yet the biggest democracy needs 400,000 500,000 thousands troops to seal its borders from 20-30 fighters..
and also let me tell you that your Sat is gonna play lil or no role in busting terrorists when you have no human intelligence.

However It is a fact that the infilteration have come down, but not completely. And the reasons for indian army presense in kashmir is well known, and it has been the result of sustained proxy war. Well human inteligence have played major roles in busting up the infiltrators across kashmir. And if you say that technoligical advancment of india cannot aide in its defence,then you are living in a fools paradise brother.

@ PC

will you stick to the topic please?

now dont go soo deep in your sleep but in case of a war indian sat will be fried up from chinese land base laser system while it also has the capability to destroy any sat.


terrorists dont carry a flag which says "hey i am a pakistani terrorists" nor they are visible until its too late. other vise US has 1000X more sat then india and they would have won WOT a long time ago.

"chinese land base laser system while it also has the capability to destroy any sat" what makes you think that only China has these capabilities? You know about this because they tested their systems openly....Most space faring nations possess these capabilities but dont claim it openly because all of them advocate peacefull use of space....Knocking down a satellite is a lot easier than launching a ballistic missile as anti-sat missiles dont have to re-enter the atmosphere...I guess even Pakistan can do it if needed.

"US has 1000X more sat then india and they would have won WOT a long time ago"...now this is a very lame argument....terror threat to US comes from Pak-Afghan border and not their own border....the US uses its sats extensively to monitor illegal immigration from countries like Mexico

And by the way what do you think the seven Indian Remote Sensing sats are doing in space???? You think ISRO launched them just to compete with Google Earth? These have resolution of less than a meter and more powerfull sats will be launched in the future....they can map whole of India...how far s Pakistan from India? Be objective and use ur brains bro!

By Google Earth one cant plan such a complicated attack

 

[Awesome]

Is this going to be an India specific thing or have maps from world over?

 

[duhastmish]

Sir it will have map from all over the world. with much higher resolution.Google Earth shows details upto 200 metres distance and Wikimapia upto 50 metres, Bhuvan will show images upto 10 metres,
thankyou

Google earth show upto 200 cuz of security concerns,now Bhuvan would be a treat for terrorists

Yeah that s true...that s y GOI is reviewing the plan very closely and is in the process of spelling out specific policies like imaging of sensitive locations like Nuclear reactors, gov establishments, defence companies etc.

Better technology comes with better security. Just like US was smart enough to camoflage the White House, India would take a step further in censoring all key areas.

Is this going to be an India specific thing or have maps from world over?

Sub-Continent specific. However there are conflicting reports.

 

[duhastmish]

but i think its still a bit away. we can expect a much better technology from bhuvan.

The Indian space agency will use images taken at least a year ago by its seven remote-sensing satellites in orbit around the earth, including Cartosat-1 and Cartosat-2. These satellites shoot images as small as a car on the street, to build a three-dimensional map of the world. Details such as roads and soil patterns on the maps would be available only for the Indian region, however.

Bhuvan, which uses high-resolution images, will comply with India’s remote sensing data policy, which does not allow online mapping services to show sensitive locations such as military and nuclear installations. High-resolution images are those that show locations of 1 sq. m or less on earth.
Even specialist users such as urban planners and internal security agencies need satellite images, as long as they are of recent vintage. Such content can be priced at a premium. Dated images are usually sold at a discount or offered free to researchers.

Unlike Google Earth, the Bhuvan application will not be downloadable and will not allow users to host content in the near future.
