Opening Remarks by GeoIgnite founder Jonathan MurphyKeynote address: Geospatial Opportunities in COVID TimesGeospatial capacity has been helpful in providing answers to Canadians during a time where nothing seems normal anymore. At the forefront of tracking, reporting and managing the response to the COVID crisis are geospatial tools, data and leadership. Natural Resources Canada’s Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation supported the Government of Canada’s response b...
The U.S. reference system modernization effort will replace the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) with a new North American Terrestrial Reference Frame (NATRF2022), creating 1.3 to 1.5 m horizontal coordinate differences at the Canada–U.S. border with respect to Canada’s NAD83(CSRS). Never before have such significant differences existed between our two countries’ reference frames.There are compelling reasons for Canada to follow suit and adopt the NATRF2022 frame as our ...
Strategic Geospatial for a Complex WorldWhere humans move and landscapes change there is value. That’s geospatial. This talk is about how to think strategically about geospatial technology in an increasingly complex world.In particular, we will focus on canada’s strengths, and how we might inject novel geospatial technology into new markets

In this presentation, Avenza’s Nick Burchell will provide a series of case studies on how maps created with the Avenza suite of tools are being used to solve tangible needs in the industries where we serve. Learn how our customers are creating high-quality, spatially aware cartographic products through MAPublisher and Geographic Imager in Adobe CC, and how they are using them for critical work in conjunction with the Avenza Maps app. We will also review some of the exciting new initiatives...
In recognition of the increasing costs and risk due to flooding, the Government of Canada is investing in flood mapping as part of the Government’s commitment to build safer and more resilient communities. Flood maps are critical for the public to understand their flood risks, and the availability of up to date flood hazard maps are key to strengthening the resilience of Canadian communities to overland flooding. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been working in collaboration to advance...
The key elements to take into account a successful implementation of drone survey with a mm accuracy are: Know your camera; Trust your measurement; Control your space; Understand your photogrammetry software. Working out that, we present this nuance including special tags around the surveyed object as the measurement system to get details.A correct implementation of photogrammetry tags with consumer grade measurement devices and consumer grade UAVs and cameras enables very precise a...
Title: DEIL experiments and outputs with open geospatial dataThe Data Exploration and Integration Lab (DEIL) at Statistics Canada has implemented a number of projects using, to the extent possible, open georeferenced data and open source tools. This presentation outlines some of this work. We will present recent developments of the Linkable Open Data Environment (LODE), examples of the use of LODE data, the development of a Proximity Measures Database and Data Viewer, and an R&amp...

This is not meant to be an exhaustive review of all the changes and advancements in lidar for the past 20 years, but rather some observations of a user of lidar technology. Lidar sensors in the early days were either set to first or last returns, then eventually allowed both first and last returns to be captured. Terrestrial lidar evolved into mobile mapping systems where advanced navigation systems allows data to be coll...
The Canadian Geodetic Survey provides the Canadian Spatial Reference System Precise Point Positioning service (CSRS-PPP) to support clients requiring accurate GNSS information. The service is used internationally and over 1.2 million GNSS files are now process annually. The CSRS-PPP service has a kinematic mode that is known to support Lidar data collection. Some recent statistics on kinematic services will be presented and expo attendees are invited to provide fee...
