Map the unseen. Harness the power of geospatial intelligence to locate images, verify locations, and reconstruct timelines. From triangulation to satellite tools, this course equips professionals with advanced field techniques.
Key objectives:
- Pin down exact locations using photos, video frames, metadata analysis, and triangulation techniques to place subjects in the physical world.
- Harness satellite imagery and advanced mapping platforms to verify locations, track movements, and build geospatial intelligence from open sources.
- Apply predictive and spatiotemporal analysis to anticipate movements, reconstruct timelines, and support strategic investigative decisions.
Course Topics:
- Introduction to Geolocation
Build a solid foundation in geographic targeting — learning how to read location clues, interpret geocoordinated systems, and apply them to real investigative scenarios. - Geofencing Concepts
Define precise digital boundaries and monitor user activity within geo-fenced zones to build location-based intelligence and track movement patterns. - Mapping Tools & Satellite Imagery
Tap into tools like Google Earth, Sentinel Hub, and live satellite feeds to visually track real-world locations, monitor changes over time, and corroborate ground-level intelligence. - Examining Images for Geolocation Cues
Scrutinize photos for landmark recognition, shadow direction, vegetation, signage, and environmental details that reveal exactly where and when an image was taken. - Triangulating Locations Using Visual Analysis
Combine object orientation, light direction, and skyline geometry to triangulate precise positions from visual evidence alone. - Pinpointing Using Technical Data Pull geotags, timestamps, and EXIF fields from images and videos to establish precise location and time data that anchors your investigation.
- Searching Video Platforms with Location Context
Leverage platform filters, hashtags, and geotags to surface region-specific video content on YouTube, TikTok, and beyond — turning public posts into precise location intelligence. - Spatiotemporal Patterns in Reporting
Fuse location and time data to identify operational patterns, detect behavioural anomalies, and build a chronological picture of events as they unfolded. - Advanced Geolocation Techniques
Integrate images, timestamps, terrain data, and contextual intelligence to achieve high-precision geolocation results that go beyond what any single source can provide. - Creating Interactive Maps for Investigations
Build dynamic, interactive maps that transform raw location data into compelling visual narratives — easy to explore, share with stakeholders, and update as investigations evolve.
