SUMMARYWith the increasing focus on damage prevention, public safety concerns, and environmental damage due to underground utility strikes, it has become more critical to accurately locate, store, and be able to visualize subsurface utilities. We show several key technical and business details when implementing a subsurface mapping system from data collection to the use of machine learning for 3D modelling and visualization and give real-world examples and use cases of the different le...
Over his decade plus at Suncor, Alonzo has been both witness to and active participant in a quiet digital Geospatial revolution. This revolution has democratized access to Geospatial data and tools to everyone at Suncor. Which meant that teams and professionals across a myriad of disciplines have embraced and pushed the limits of Geospatial data and software. The constant demand for newer and higher-resolution data has relegated the paper map to secondary status as the tool for spatial commun...

Teams can become the catalyst to co-elevate results-driven organizations accelerate outcomes, unleash their full potential, and create unprecedented internal and external value. But it’s not a given!In an increasingly volatile, uncertain, and non-linear Geomatics landscape, senior-level managers find it increasingly challenging to keep up and get things done – efficiently, effectively, and timely. The organizational silos have begun to come down, but often remain camou...
In February 2022, Balko Technologies, a Quebec-based company, launched the world's first modular drone Lidar, which aims to democratize geospatial data capture by offering a versatile, easy-to-use and quick to deploy solution. This technological showcase aims to demonstrate the performance, modularity and distinctive advantages for users of our brand new Connectiv solution and its e-LAS software, developed by a team of experts with more than 10 years of experience in airborne data capture....
LiDAR continues to be a cornerstone of the mapping industry. Since its inception, the technology has evolved from sole use on manned aircraft to being used on UAVs and mobile mapping platforms. As the LiDAR industry continues to evolve, our panel of experts will discuss what current and future trends impacting this industry. Join our award-winning panelists for an exciting discussion. Bring your questions.
Geodetic Reference Systems are the foundation for geospatial data, serving as the official reference for latitude, longitude, height and gravity in Canada. There are many contributors to providing such standards to Canadians, including Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments, the private sector, academia, and others. Users will know that every few years there are new versions introduced of the datums or reference frames. A change in reference system, however, invo...

Join us at the BIM/GIS panel of our conference as we delve into critical subjects shaping the intersection of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Our expert panelists will explore the evolving landscape of BIM and GIS, offering invaluable insights into various aspects of this dynamic field.Agenda:The Importance of Standards and Interoperability...
Geomatics is growing technically and economically at a rapid pace. The need for skilled, knowledgeable workers is higher than ever. Some may argue that the technical advancements of the industry reduce the need for skilled workers and will remove the event of human errors. Others will argue that the very technology that is reducing human error can lead to increasing other errors and be a cause of delays on projects if the person operating the technology is not perceptive ...
As GIS professionals, we understand the pivotal role that geospatial data plays in decision-making across various industries. Now, imagine harnessing that power to transform facility management. This presentation delves into VertiGIS FM, a groundbreaking solution that revolutionizes facility management through the lens of spatial intelligence, creating new opportunities and efficiencies across organizations.
Learn how newly implemented surface modeling tools employing artificial intelligence reduce the turnaround time of point cloud surface models by 400% while maintaining high-fidelity results around break lines. Faster ground extraction routines for UAV data can be achieved without the need for classification or noise removal. In this presentation, we'll discuss several examples including how a query volume calculation project compared with traditional modeling workflows yielded nearly exact...
Harnessing the power of regular collection of imagery and Lidar, the City of Calgary provides valuable information for municipal service delivery. The City publicly shares various datasets in different formats, including Orthophotos, Lidar, and 3D buildings, oh-my! Beginning in 1990, the Aerial Imagery Program supported planning, development, and operations.Regularly collecting spatial data allows for more accurate assessments of changes over time. Annual Orthophoto collection aids in ...
