The applications of GeoAI are as wide and diverse as our imaginations. Many applications like remote sensing, image classification and object detection using computer vision, improve visual clarity and allow higher zoom levels using super-resolution networks, extract geospatial information from unstructured data using natural language processing, deep learning application for large 3D geospatial datasets etc. and have shown positive trends in GeoAI.With the increasing focus on damage p...

Today's conference attendees don't need to be convinced that constructors, utility companies, and municipalities all have an obligation to adhere to best-practices and perform underground utility mapping prior to excavation; we've all seen the numbers: every year, countless accidents occur due to the lack of reliable underground utility data, leading to significant financial losses, project delays, and, most tragically, injuries and fatalities.Yes, the need for coordination and multi-s...
In 2017, representatives of Gopher State One Call (GSOC) reached out to the leadership of Emergency Preparedness Committee of the Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Council (EPC) in hopes of learning what could potentially be done to improve the use of geospatial technology in the underground utility community. From ensuing discussions over the next three years, the Underground Utilities Mapping Project Team (UUMPT) came into existence under the auspices of the EPC in early 2020. Now comprised of ...
BC's Master Municipal Construction Documents Association was founded in the early 1990's as a non profit organization to publish standardized infrastructure specifications and construction contract documents. MMCD Infrastructure Data Standards (IDS) were introduced in 2009 as an initiative to not only standardize infrastructure geomatics, design modeling, drawing production and construction workflows, but also to support standardized post construction data submissions to support automat...
In recent years, Canada and the United States have witnessed numerous injuries and fatalities due to accidental contact with underground infrastructure, highlighting the need to enhance current damage prevention practices. This presentation, "Knowing What's Below: Maps Save Lives," authored by Steve Slusarenko, Director of Subsurface Utility Map Data Exchange (SUMDEx), delves into the current damage prevention processes and underscores the importance of creating and exchanging accurate maps.
