The Canadian Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (NRCan) continues its work to implement the National Elevation Data Strategy. Through this strategy, one of NRCan's goal is to provide Canadians with an accurate three-dimensional representation of the country, in support of government priorities such as flood mapping. Because of the enormous task of obtaining a high-precision and up-to-date national elevation layer, NRCan works with different entities.The data coverage of the st...

À l'automne 2020, NV5 Geospatial, propulsé par Quantum Spatial, a été mandaté par la Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) pour réaliser l'un des plus grands levés lidar topobathymétriques aériens fluviaux jamais entrepris au Canada. Cette présentation examinera de plus près le contexte, les objectifs, les défis, la technologie, la méthodologie, ainsi que les résultats et conclusions préliminaires de cette importante étude aérienne des vingt-huit principaux cours d'eau entourant la v...

While the geomatics sector and the world we live in continue to change, the need for coordination across jurisdictions remains crucial to support decision-making and response to share...

In this presentation by Avenza Systems, we will be showcasing how high quality cartographic outputs after your data analysis can actually be achieved! We will demonstrate how to develop and design a map from raw statistical census data in Adobe Illustrator by leveraging the geospatial functionalities of MAPublisher - the industry-standard cartography solution for high quality graphical output. We’ll show how GIS data can be imported, managed, and transformed on-the-fly all d...

In 2003, when GISPartner entered the business Poland was still far behind more developed countries in terms of IT implementation. In 2021 the gap is incomparably smaller and some of Polish IT solutions are widely used across the globe. When public administration is considered, it was also GISPartner, which greatly contributed into transforming paper & stamps into high-class software solutions. We want to share our thoughts on how clever, tailor-made IT solutions are driving this transf...
