PAST EVENTS OTTAWA BRANCH - Life Member’s Night Date: Wednesday May 30, 2012 The widespread growth in popularity of consumer and mass-market oriented Web maps has shown the immense value of having access to current, high quality online map information in support of decision making. Professional GIS users and knowledge workers who support mission-critical applications in government agencies, industry and academic institutions also require ready access to consistent online data and maps. To meet this need Esri Canada developed the Canada Community Map, which provides a cost-effective and efficient framework for Canadian organizations to share their geographic information with other professionals and with the online public. It is a high-performance application; has Canada-wide coverage; is derived from authoritative sources; is up to date; and is of high cartographic quality. The program currently has over 100 participating Canadian organizations, with a goal of 1000 plus organizations participating by 2017. The seamless national map is also rendered with uniform cartography, cached and integrated into the World Topographic Map on ArcGIS Online. This presentation will explain what the Esri Canada Community Map program is, how it works, what are the benefits of participation and will demonstrate some uses of the interactive online map.

As precise real time kinetic (RTK) GPS enters its third decade, the emergence and proliferation of Real Time Networks (RTN) is having a major impact on the Geomatics, Construction and Agriculture industries. RTN’s consist of a collection of GNSS receivers linked together over the internet and managed by software located at a central processing site. By connecting to this network, surveyors, engineers, GIS professionals and machine operators (bulldozers, graders, planters/fertilizers/ harvesters) can improve productivity and profitability while realizing sensor precisions ranging from sub-meter to centimetre. This presentation will describe the technology, applications, accuracy, advantages and distribution of real time GNSS reference networks in Canada. // GPS est une technologie mature qui prend en charge des services allant de la navigation et de synchronisation à un armement sophistiqué. Aussi précis en temps réel cinétique (RTK) GPS entre dans sa troisième décennie, l'émergence et la prolifération des réseaux en temps réel (RTN), est d'avoir un impact majeur sur les industries de géomatique, de la construction et l'agriculture. RTN consistent en une collection de récepteurs GNSS reliés entre eux sur Internet et géré par un logiciel situé sur un site de traitement central. En vous connectant à ce réseau, géomètres, ingénieurs spécialistes des SIG, et les opérateurs de machines (bulldozers, des niveleuses, des jardinières ou des engrais ou les moissonneuses) peut améliorer la productivité et la rentabilité tout en réalisant des précisions de capteurs allant de sub-métrique en centimètres. Cette présentation décrira la technologie, les applications, la précision, les avantages et la distribution des réseaux en temps réel de référence GNSS au Canada. Where & When?

Life Members Night KABOOM Date: Wednesday June 15, 2011 Twice now, Ron Gould has blown up an airplane in Ottawa. Actually it was all for science, and visitors from many agencies in a number of countries travelled here to see it happen. It was invitation only, but now the CIG Ottawa Branch is inviting you to hear about it too. Ron will describe how he and his team developed the idea, then planned and executed KABOOM and KABOOM2 at the NRC's Uplands Campus next to the airport. Explosives, Emergency Services, high speed imagery, aerial imagery and remote sensing, and mobile LiDAR were all ingredients used in the KABOOM project. Ron will talk about the data they collected and what they learned. Join us for this unusual, unique and very interesting discussion on Life Members Night. Indoor Geolocation Date: Wednesday March 2, 2011 For complete details: Life Members Night / Conférence & Soirée

Presents See PDF for complete details In recognition of the students participation in the activities of the Ottawa Branch of the Canadian Institute of Geomatics, we would like to invite you to our 10th Annual Student Awards Night. Students from 3 local Universities and Colleges will present their work. The Ottawa Branch of the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG), along with corporate sponsors is organizing the meeting this year. The Student Award night is being held at 7pm on November 12th, 2008 at the Air Force Mess (158 Gloucester St). All the best and we look forward to seeing you at the event!

and Reference Frames come to the forefront as never before. NAD27, NAD83, NAD83(CSRS),
ITRF, WGS84, local datums, CGVD28 published elevation vs GPS/Geoid models.
Confusing enough? This talk aims at setting the story straight on horizontal
and vertical datums. It will also present some little-known but serious shortcomings
in today's GPS equipment, techniques and standards and the resulting practical
implications for GPS users.

CIG Ottawa Branch Presents Cybercartography in the context of contemporary mapping
The world of maps and mapping is being rapidly transformed. Recent technological developments have brought maps into the daily life of societies all over the world in unprecedented ways. The entire domain of mapmaking is experiencing a profound change in the way maps (re)produce territories. This change is the result of developments in industry, the open source community, community based initiatives as well as in academia, science and art. Cybercartography aims to capture and build on this diversity and to further explore the changing nature of maps. In January 2003 a multidisciplinary research team at Carleton University in Ottawa began to further develop a foundational paradigm for cybercartography. This paradigm will be presented and discussed, illustrated by examples developed in the context of the Cybercartography and the New Economy project.

Presents / Présente A brief outline of how military maps were made in WWII by the Royal Canadian Engineers, 1st Canadian Corps Field Survey Company. The subject matter is from memory and the thankful blessing that details of the day were documented by Senior Officers. Ted remembers: They were all hand-drawn maps. Our unit did 450 of them as we made our way to Holland. We had trucks set up with printing presses in the back of them, to get the maps out to the field commanders as quick as possible. You could tell, by what they wanted printed as a map, where the next battles would be taking place. We were never far behind them. (quote from Ron Corbett’s Ottawa Citizen article, May 12th 2003) La présentation décrit brièvement comment les cartes étaient produites pendant la II-ième Guerre Mondiale par la Compagnie de levés d'arpentage du 1er Corps canadien, Génie royal militaire canadien. Un sujet intéressant décrit à partir des souvenirs de l’auteur et grâce aux détails documentés par les officiers supérieurs. Ted se rappèle : ‘Toutes les cartes étaient désignées à la main. Notre unité a fait 450 pendant la campagne de Hollande. Nous avions des presses installées dans des camions. Il fallait livrer les cartes le plus vite possible aux commandants sur le front. Nous n’étions jamais trop loin d’eux. On pouvait deviner ou sera la prochaine bataille d’après les cartes imprimées.’ (article de Ron Corbett, Ottawa Citizen, 12 mai 2003)
