Title: Growing Canada’s Next Earth Observation (EO) GenerationCanada has a proud history in Earth Observation, supporting a strong export industry driven on EO imagery and geospatial analytics. It is incumbent on all of us to continue Canada’s strong presence in the global EO community and we can only do that with a concerted effort and plan to grow the next generation of leaders. After 51 years of leadership in space and spatial information technology MDA was recen...
A closer look at some of the lidar-derived innovations for enhanced forestry management solutions and topobathymetric flood mitigation from Quantum Spatial Canada. Presented by Sven Cowan, Dr. Andrew Brenner, and Colin Cooper. Quantum Spatial, Inc., an NV5 company, is one of North America's largest geospatial services firms, providing insights to organizations that need geospatial intelligence to mitigate risk, plan for growth, better manage resources and advance scientific ...
A new era of human experience is upon us. The current disruption brought by the COVID-19 crisis has thrust us from a mere “digital transformation” into a new digital reality.The COVID-19 crisis is rapidly reshaping the "what" and "how" of digital transformation agendas. Through leveraging IoT, Big Data, blockchain, AI, location intelligence, etc., organizations are improving their operations and business decisions.We reached a turning point in ...

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...
We are living through a transformative time, not least in the space industry. A graph of upcoming satellite launches looks like a hockey stick – soon there will be orders of magnitude leading to more satellites being launched and more downstream data being generated from space than ever before. The question is, what is the most effective means of ensuring that space data brings tangible benefits to business operations and value to end users? In our talk we cover a satellit...
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...
Abstract A fundamental shift in the geospatial industry has occurred over recent years. Modern remote sensing technology has been developed at PCI Geomatics and in Canada through advanced research through partnerships with private industry, academia, and government researchers. Ubiquitous access to openly accessible earth observation data, cloud computing infrastructures and international collaboration have created opportunities to increase downstream access to inf...
