L’observation de la Terre : en première ligne pour faire face aux défis environnementaux et sociétaux
2022-05-09 00:00 - 2022-05-10 23:59
L’observation de la Terre (OT) a depuis longtemps fait ses preuves en appui à la prise de décisions éclairées dans de multiples champs, dont l’agriculture, l’hydrologie, la foresterie et la sécurité civile. Par ailleurs, au cours de la dernière décennie, un essor technologique et conceptuel intense a amené une multiplication des capteurs, un raffinement majeur des résolutions autant spatiales que temporelles, certes signes précurseurs de développement, mais aussi d’enjeux sociétaux.
S’inscrivant dans la foulée du colloque Acfas 2021, L’observation de la Terre à l’ère de la 4e révolution industrielle, cette édition se concentre sur quatre tendances clés : 1) l’introduction de nouveaux capteurs et plateformes innovantes; 2) les défis posés par les données massives; 3) l’utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle; et 4) la démocratisation de l’accès et de l’analyse des données.
En premier lieu, les nouveaux capteurs (LiDAR, hyperspectral) et plateformes (drones, CubeSat) repoussent les frontières radiométriques et spatiales, permettent la concrétisation de séries temporelles fiables et encouragent l’entrée de nouveaux joueurs dans le milieu. La multiplication des données d’OT nécessite quant une gestion de mégadonnées pour lesquelles les requêtes et l’analyse exigent des compétences complexes et un savoir-faire unique. Par ailleurs, l’IA s’étant rapidement imposée comme incontournable en OT, ses capacités d’automatisation et d’analyse révolutionnent le domaine du traitement des images, mais, en contrepartie, provoquent des questionnements éthiques et sociétaux importants. Enfin, l’accès et l’analyse de données d’OT se sont démocratisés grâce à l’infonuagique : ce nouveau paradigme ouvre la porte à une nouvelle clientèle de praticiens et praticiennes multidisciplinaires.
Ces avancées scientifiques et techniques constituent des tremplins d’innovation et de collaboration d’une valeur inestimable pour notre communauté et sont, comme il est déjà possible de l’observer, une voie d’avenir prometteuse.

MAY 12, 2022: Presenting Professional Surveyors Canada, Continuing Professional Development Sessions

8:35am – 10:00am
“Asset Management for Sustainable Infrastructure – an emerging practice for geomatics professionals”
Presenter:
Dr. Robert Radovanovic, P.Eng., P.Surv, CAMA, ENV Sp.
Summary:
Worldwide, there has been a growing recognition that smarter investments in infrastructure are needed if we are going to ensure sustainable outcomes for communities. This is driving an increased interest in the area of Infrastructure Asset Management (IAM), which in turn is providing an exciting opportunity for surveyors and other geomatics professionals to diversify on the basis of their geospatial expertise.
IAM is a multi-disciplinary field of practice that brings together data on the condition and location of assets like roads, utilities and buildings with analytics that assess how assets will age and wear under current and anticipated use patterns and environmental conditions. This information is then used to prioritize investment decisions to minimize total lifecycle costs while ensuring that end users receive consistent and quality service delivery.
In this presentation, an overview of the principles of IAM is provided, along with discussion of how IAM systems are put together in practice from a data gathering, analytics and policy perspective. Many of the technologies which are driving advances in IAM have roots in the geomatics profession, such as 3D laser scanners, remote sensing, GIS databases and least-squares and other prediction techniques and this presentation focuses on the geomatics and surveying underpinnings of this practice area.

10:30am – 12:00pm
“Issues in Recent Court Cases: Indigenous title, Shared natural boundary factors and Revisiting co-ordinates”
Presenter:
Izaak de Rijcke, LL.M., OLS, of the Ontario Bar and Yukon Bar (Ret.)
Summary:
Professional surveyors in Canada are good at adapting to change and new challenges. However, remaining aware of trends in case law that will impact their professional and business activities is an important resource to have in meeting these challenges. The sheer volume of case law emanating from courts across Canada calls for proactive measures to “check in” periodically on trends and new developments in the law.
In the last five years there has been no shortage of new decisions – despite the impact of a pandemic which, in many instances has meant trials, hearings and appeals taking place by videoconference. In this workshop, 3 issues are identified and briefly described, with a high level explanation of what each one could mean for land surveyors across Canada. In addition to the workshop, members will receive a short synopsis of the presentation and the cases reviewed for further discussion with colleagues and employees after the workshop is over.

The Canadian Cartographic Association annual conference
2022-05-25 00:00 - 2022-05-27 23:59
The Canadian Cartographic Association annual conference will be held online May 25-27, 2022.
We live in a world with complex and intertwined social, health, economic, demographic and natural challenges and opportunities, as COVID-19, wildfires, drought and floods (among other occurrences) have demonstrated in just the past two years. While we are awash with technologies and platforms that continually produce new data on some topics, data gaps remain concerning pressing issues. In addition, we must consider quality of data and fitness for purpose when data are available, and working with historical data that could provide context for many problems and discussions is often difficult. From concept to data collection to designing effective summaries and visualizations, how do mapmakers focus themselves and their audience on the stories geospatial data can help us tell? How does cartographic design apply in the diverse contexts in which location and spatial relations can help us understand our environment? How are design principles applied (i) in the forums and platforms on which our maps now appear and (ii) with the expectations users bring to maps and location?

2022 Canadian Hydrographic Conference (CHC2022)
2022-06-06 00:00 - 2022-06-09 23:59
Welcome to Gatineau-Ottawa

Dear participants welcome to beautiful Gatineau-Ottawa region. It is an honour and a privilege for me to serve as Chairman of the 2022 Canadian Hydrographic Conference (CHC2022). CHC is the biennial conference hosted by the Canadian Hydrographic Association (CHA). It is the premier hydrographic conference in North America, alternating yearly with the US Hydrographic Conference of The Hydrographic Society of America (THSOA), a friend and a partner.
This gathering is a pivotal occasion to meet players and stakeholders in hydrography from North America and worldwide. Today, this gathering is located in Gatineau, on the Ottawa River, a tributary of the central part of the 3500 kilometres long navigation system Great Lakes – Gulf of St. Lawrence. The River portion, and the Sea portion (also named Gulf of St. Lawrence), is recognized for the navigation challenges it offers. These challenges have resulted in Canada being known as a nursery for excellent ideas and hydrographic innovations leading and serving to guide the evolution of international standards. CHC2022 (www.chc2022.org) with its scientific program, informative vendor displays, and topical keynote speakers will provide you with numerous learning opportunities. During this four day event, you will have the chance to discuss different issues related to hydrography. From dynamic objects to crowdsourcing, to ASVs to hydrospace, you will note the dynamic evolution leading to “A World transformed”.
Although this will be an occasion to learn and do business, make sure to take time to explore and visit this beautiful host region. Whether on the Quebec side or the Ontario side, several interesting attractions await you. Gatineau, known for its quality of life, offers you, among other things, its Museum of Civilization and its magnificent National Park with its rivers, lakes, hiking and cycling trails. Ottawa, Canada’s capital, stands its legendary parliament in front of you and offers, among other things, a beautiful little central market, several museums, as well as the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO’s World Heritage Site.
This conference would not be possible without your support to the Canadian Hydrographic Association (CHA). A small group of volunteers run the CHA and work hard to keep it alive and offer you this great event every second year. The continuing success of this conference depends on you, our existing and future members, who take the time to pay your annual membership dues on our web site (www.hydrography.ca). It is a minimal amount of money, but it keeps the wheels turning. In closing, I wish you vibrant and lively discussions all week long.
Finally, take the opportunity to visit this very beautiful region, extend your stay and take a vacation to visit Quebec and Ontario, the two most populous provinces of Canada. Enjoy your week and let’s have a great conference!

Transforming Construction with Reality Capture Technologies: The Digital Reality of Tomorrow
2022-08-23 08:00 - 2022-08-25 17:00
Join the University of New Brunswick Off-site Construction Research Centre (OCRC) in Fredericton, New Brunswick from August 23 to August 25, 2022 for our first specialty conference in partnership with the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE).
The construction industry is on the brink of major transformation. This was highlighted by McKinsey and Company in their report titled, “The next normal in construction – How disruption is reshaping the world’s largest ecosystem.” This report highlights nine industry shifts including investment in technology and facilities. This is directly linked to reality capture technologies and used to support decision-makers in constructing and managing the built environment.
This specialty conference will feature presentations of peer-reviewed papers and relevant case studies to engage attendees in discussions about new and emerging technologies in the built environment. These topics focus on tools being used to enhance existing processes and inform better decisions for building, operating and maintaining the built environment. They include:

Integration of reality capture with modern technologies (i.e. 3D printing, augmented/virtual/mixed reality, UAVs, etc.)
Laser scanning to building information modelling (BIM) generation
Quality inspection, condition assessment, safety monitoring and productivity improvement
Resource and activity tracking
Surveying, visual documentation and as-is modelling
Use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning

We welcome the suggestion of additional topics for the conference program. Contact offsiteconstruction@unb.ca to discuss.
The conference technical program will feature state-of-the-art technologies and presentations on leading research around the world as well as case studies direct from industry. These sessions will be used as catalysts to discuss and explore applicable recent practices and new research in the field of reality capture.
More details will be available soon, including announcements of keynote speakers and registration information. Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter and sign up for our email list to be the first to know any important event updates!
