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 ...
Presented by: Jake Dickinson & John Roos Abstract: As shrinking polar ice creates new opportunities for resource exploration and shipping routes, the importance for Arctic nations to monitor the ongoing expansion in the Arctic is ever increasing. Additionally, climate change continues to impact people and the environment. High resolution satellite imagery remains one of the most effective means of monitoring inaccessible and de...

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...
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...
