buildingSMART Canada Annual BIM Summit

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...

Geomatics for the Public GoodHuman Footprint

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

Geospatial AI

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...

buildingSMART Canada Annual BIM Summit

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 ...
