    We are increasingly dependent on technology to move ourselves around and interact with our environment, and we ingest enormous amounts of visual data as part of the process. How we acquire visual data and how we put it to use are tough problems that require innovative solutions. On this panel we discuss the acquisition and analysis of visual data with drone imaging specialist Kespry as well as earth imaging and analytics leaders Orbital Insights and Planet Labs.
