We explore the motivations behind the implementation of openBIM and its integral role in advancing the built asset industry. The built environment is immense and complex, it is also a huge responsibility. Our industry directly impacts it, designing, creating and maintaining it. In an era where what we all need is a better built environment, openBIM stands out as a key enabler. Together we will imagine a future where our industry works more effectively, efficiently and with more c...
How exactly does artificial intelligence work and what can you use it for in the geomatics domain? Using real-life examples from our projects, they demonstrate how you can use AI to gain new insights and increase efficiency by automating your data processing workflows.We explore how GeoAI is fusing spatial data science and Geomatics technology to help automate the extraction, classification, and analysis of all types of spatial or non-spatial data. Learn how GeoAI can detect clusters, ...
From ancient cave drawings depicting hunting grounds to hand-sketched layouts of backyard gardens, humans conceptualize space through map making. Maps serve both to capture what exists on the landscape and to plan future uses by intentionally defining where specific activities can happen. Modern satellite technology creates geospatial datasets that can contribute to current and proposed land use management planning, all underpinned by the pursuit of the public good.Background

Accurate mapping of road networks is essential for navigation, disaster response, and urban planning. Traditional methods relying on remote sensing images, Lidar data, and GPS trajectories are hampered by time-consuming manual updates and incomplete extraction due to obstructions from trees, buildings, and shadows. However, recent advancements in deep learning models have shown promise in improving road mapping and automating the detection of missing roads.This study uses a transfer le...
In 2021, the Government of Canada invested $63.8M in the Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP) to to create and disseminate engineering-level flood hazard maps that can help Canadians better plan and prepare for future flood risks. The program was recently extended to 2028 through the National Adaptation Strategy and enhanced with an additional $164 Million investment.Given that many Canadians are unaware of flood hazards, the FHIMP is working to fill gaps in knowledg...
The government of Alberta manages the production of riverine flood studies under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program, to assist communities in keeping Albertans safe and protecting their properties from floods. Flood maps improve public safety, support emergency management, and help us build safer and more resilient communities. The government of Alberta also manages the production of alluvial fan studies to help Albertans learn about flood risks in the steep terrain of Alberta...
The Riparian Web Portal (www.riparian.info) is an award-winning project, launched in 2021 by Alberta’s watershed community. This dynamic online space empowers Albertans to enhance riparian health through interactive access to comprehensive data and resources. It serves a crucial role in advancing the riparian health objectives pursued by various watershed groups.At its core, the portal integrates innovative GIS-based assessments from six watershed agencies, covering over 60,000 km of r...

Despite the rhetoric surrounding the use of building information modelling (BIM) to enhance collaboration by connecting people and data, the status quo is to work with proprietary solutions and closed file formats, limiting accessibility and interoperability. Additionally, the increasing complexity of projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry requires technology that integrates data at a range of scales, from asset to city, and beyond. To address ...
In December 2023 a unique gathering of technology and talent gathered on Alcatraz to capture the entire island, inside and out, from the ground and from the air to assist the National Park Service understand the risks seal level rise and climate change present to the island. Join me and, perhaps, other members of the extended team as we share the technology, the experience, and the adventure of this unique experience.
Wrap up the first full day of Canada's National Geomatics Expo with the GoGeomatics Meetup! This lively party and networking event, free to attend, starts right after the day's sessions, offering a perfect blend of fun and professional interaction. Held on the expo main floor, the meetup features a cash bar to help you unwind and enjoy the evening. Join us for an exciting night of music, mingling, and making connections with fellow attendees. Don't miss this chance to relax and expand your ne...

In this year's reality capture track, we have shown you the unprecedented value of reality capture systems when adopted into high-cost, high liability and fast pace environments, some of the problems these systems are solving today, and tools to help the effectiveness and quality of those solutions. However, our presenters will also have demonstrated how critical digital lifecycle planning can be to any asset, from pre-design through construction and lifetime operation right up to demolition,...
As the drone industry is increasingly focuses on developing larger airframes and equipping them with bigger sensors, Spexi is taking a revolutionary approach to aerial imagery. At Spexi, we believe that the future of geospatial data collection lies not in size and complexity, but in numbers and standardization. The Spexi platform leverages the power of crowdsourcing, deploying local pilots with small drones to capture standardized imagery across entire cities. This method allows us to achieve...

In countries that have very accurate and accessible map records, utility damage events are a rare occurrence. Japan with a one third of the population of the US has less than 200 line strikes per year. We will discuss how creating, sharing, and using accurate maps is critical in reducing damage to buried infrastructure.
With the increasing focus on damage prevention, public safety concerns, and environmental damage due to underground utility strikes, it has become more critical to accuracy locate, store and be able to visualize subsurface utilities. Several key technical details are discussed when implementing a subsurface mapping system from data collection to the use of machine learning for 3D modelling and visualization. The ability to make safe and effective decisions for i...
