Do you know what the geospatial product trap is? We fall in love with the technology, not the problem. I am a lucky person. My job has evolved to one where I primarily get to talk about geospatial technology all day. I could be scoping out internal or external projects or evaluating technologies. Increasingly, I provide advice on product ideas. This final situation has forced me to consider the nature of our community-of-practice. The common assumption that geospatial ...

For nearly 50 years, geomatics representatives from Canadian provinces and territories have collaborated together and with the federal government on geomatics initiatives. This presentation will explore why such a council came to be and why its work matters to the Canadian geomatics sector and citizens alike. 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...
With PetaBytes of data flowing out of Low Earth Orbit everyday, the opportunity afforded by Earth Observation seems to be greater than ever. But is our community realizing that opportunity yet? Are there winners? How should we be thinking about EO businesses in the roaring 2020s?

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...
The Government of Canada and organizations such as the UN recognize the critical role of standards in geographic information and geomatics to support stewardship and interoperability of information, ensuring that organizations access, use and share geospatial data efficiently and effectively to support program and service delivery to Citizens. The data inventory/catalogue and the supporting standards are foundational components of any national geospatial information framework. As such, wel...

Times have changed - dynamic mobile mapping is now more essential than ever to get the job done quickly and accurately. Join keynote speaker Marek Koltun LIVE as he discusses mobile mapping and its place as standard equipment in the laser scanning toolbox. Learn how scanning with a wearable device like NavVis VLX can significantly benefit your projects - big or small.
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) based systems have proved their value for rapid mapping of complex environments, but achieving survey grade accuracy and repeatability has been a challenge in some environments. Surveyors were faced with a compromise between fast data capture and data accuracy, depending on the job requirements.This is no longer the case with Emesent's Automated Ground Control feature, which enhances t...
Case study outlining the challenges, solution and final result associated to a complex commercial renovation project.
Use case outlining the challenges, solution and result associated to a Lidar data acquisition using drone and vehicle.
Multi-beam bathymetric surveys are used to gather detailed information about the features on the sea, river or lake bed by measuring multiple depths from a transducer array at high resolution. The result is a highly accurate 3D point cloud representation of the sea floor – similar to aerial LIDAR.
In recent years the geospatial drone market has expanded dramatically. Drone based UAS (LiDAR) and UAV (Imagery) systems vast differences make it difficult to choose one over the other. This presentation aims to explore their differences from the point cloud processing aspect. We will examine the pros and cons of each system for practical survey and mapping applications such as topographies, bare earth, volumetrics, etc. Learn how data accuracy, density, intensit...
The autonomous vehicle industry is in the process of developing high definition (HD) maps to serve as the reference for their real time navigation systems. By 2030 the HD maps market is expected to reach $16.9 billion per year. Currently there is no accepted standard for HD maps here in the U.S. and Canada. It is the Wild West with each vendor collecting their own data. This presentation will encourage the key players to develop a strategic plan that involve...
