This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the establishment of the Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) for Accurate Georeferencing of the Environment (CAGE) at Saint Louis University (SLU), in partnership with Ohio State University and Purdue University. The CAGE center aims to advance next-generation methods for geospatial data georeferencing, spatial data fusion, quality assurance, and decision support, with the goal of accelerating innovation and enhancing the economic competitiveness of the U.S. geospatial industry and its users. The research portfolio is organized into three thrust areas: (1) georeferencing and navigation, (2) geoinformation extraction assisted by AI and machine learning, and (3) rigorous quality assurance and quality control processes. Through this industry-focused, collaborative model, the CAGE center will ensure that its innovations are closely aligned with real-world needs while supporting the development of a highly skilled geospatial workforce.
