Space, the final frontier. Or is it? Although many people are fascinated by space, most are relatively unaware of how space technologies pervade their everyday life. From global positioning systems (GPS) and satellite communications to weather forecasting and monitoring the health of crops or the extent of sea ice, the standard of living we currently enjoy is fundamentally dependent on satellites and space technology. Space is becoming even more important in monitoring the changing climate, p...
How exactly does artificial intelligence work and what can you use it for in the geomatics domain? Using real-life examples from our projects, they demonstrate how you can use AI to gain new insights and increase efficiency by automating your data processing workflows.We explore how GeoAI is fusing spatial data science and Geomatics technology to help automate the extraction, classification, and analysis of all types of spatial or non-spatial data. Learn how GeoAI can detect clusters, ...
In 2021, the Government of Canada invested $63.8M in the Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP) to to create and disseminate engineering-level flood hazard maps that can help Canadians better plan and prepare for future flood risks. The program was recently extended to 2028 through the National Adaptation Strategy and enhanced with an additional $164 Million investment.Given that many Canadians are unaware of flood hazards, the FHIMP is working to fill gaps in knowledg...
30 years ago, a small group of engineers came together to work on the then difficult problem of interoperable technology, systems and data. These visionaries formed the Open Geospatial Consortium which has helped the world figure out how to collect, process, and share geospatial data over the internet and across a wide variety of technology systems. Today, with the proliferation of technology types, sensors and a...
The integration of AI in infrastructure modeling has the potential to revolutionize decision-making processes by providing accurate predictions, identifying vulnerabilities, and optimizing resource utilization.The increasing complexity of modern infrastructure systems, coupled with growing demands on utilities, has necessitated the adoption of advanced analytical techniques. This panel discussion brings together ideas from acad...
The integration of reality capture technologies—such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, and 3D scanning—into infrastructure asset management is revolutionizing how municipalities and organizations manage and maintain, their assets and deliver services. This presentation will explore the transformative impact of reality capture on the accuracy, efficiency, and overall effectiveness of infrastructure management practices. By enabling effective data collection and visualization, reality capture provides ...
In December 2023 a unique gathering of technology and talent gathered on Alcatraz to capture the entire island, inside and out, from the ground and from the air to assist the National Park Service understand the risks seal level rise and climate change present to the island. Join me and, perhaps, other members of the extended team as we share the technology, the experience, and the adventure of this unique experience.
