SECTION NOUVELLE-ÉCOSSEPour plus d'information, S.V.P. contacter Tim Webster, Président de la section d'Halifax nos excuses, les textes seront affichés dans la langue reçu ACTIVITÉS À VENIR ACTIVITÉS COMPLÉTÉS This is an invitation to our March CIG Seminar Series. The seminars will take place at COGS and the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. We are continuing with the theme of lidar acquisition, processing and applications and are pleased that Bill Kidman of Leading Edge Geomatics will be presenting the next seminar. Title: Leading Edge Geomatics LiDAR and Digital Mapping Cameras – Understanding the Technology and Practical Applications Presented by: Bill Kidman is the President and co-founder of Leading Edge Geomatics (LEG) which is a remote-sensing and consulting firm located in Lincoln, NB. Bill Kidman is the President and co-founder of Leading Edge Geomatics (LEG) which is a remote-sensing and consulting firm located in Lincoln, NB. Since founding LEG in 2007, Bill has managed significant mapping projects including coastal surveys for the United States National Oceanic Atmospheric Agency (NOAA), 1600 line kilometers of power line transmission corridors, and overseen the acquisition of LEG's aerial photography and LiDAR inventory which covers over 30,000km2. Prior to 2007, Bill graduated from the Canadian Forces School of Military Mapping, and served twenty years on active duty in Canada and around the world. The highpoint of his military mapping career was his deployment to Afghanistan on a joint Canadian / United States scientific mapping mission as the photogrammetry team lead. This mission collected over 300,000 km2 of aerial photography, and delivered orthorectified imagery products to coalition forces within 24hrs from acquisition. The presentation will cover a variety of topics including airborne terrestrial laser scanning, and full digital aerial photography collection and processing, plus some insights into the latest trends in lidar and the next generation of systems. Introduction to Leading Edge Geomatics including the team, history, services Introduction to LiDAR including:
Aerial Photography including:

Bedford Institute of Oceanography (16 Challenger Drive, Dartmouth), Needler Boardroom (VS427) Boardroom Thurs. March 29, 1:30 pm Technical seminar on Bathymetric lidar from the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG). We are very fortunate to have an expert from one of the leading coastal data acquisition companies in the world available for a seminar here in Nova Scotia. Title: Lidar Bathymetry & Beyond, a Technical Seminar Presented by: Michael Broadbent, Hydrographic Lidar Technical Manager, Fugro Pelagos, San Diego, California Michael Broadbent is the Hydrographic Lidar Technical Manager for Fugro Pelagos Inc. in San Diego, California. He has a B.S.C in Geomatics Engineering from the University of Calgary, where he studied the engineering principles required to design, develop and operate systems for collecting and analyzing spatial information about the land, the oceans, natural resources and manmade features. Prior to joining Fugro Pelagos Inc. in 2008, he was a Senior Geospatial Analyst at Fugro GeoServices in Calgary, Canada where he supported large scale aerial lidar acquisitions and GIS projects for the Oil and Gas industry. Michael is currently responsible for implementing new hydrographic technologies in Fugro's Lidar Bathymetry department and for modifying existing workflows to increase overall efficiency. Michael is interested in furthering the fusion of hydrographic survey techniques and increasing the capabilities of bathymetric lidar seafloor classification and target detection. The presentation will consist of an in depth look at data collection, processing and derived products from bathymetic lidar system including seabed reflectance. Advances in processing procedures to allow bathymetric surveys to be conducted without the requirement of a tide gauge will be outlined. The processing from laser waveforms to discrete point clouds will be discussed and the research into the potential to obtain water column characteristics from the waveform will be discussed. Analysis of the point cloud and derived products such as the variance of the returns to characterize the sea bed and gridding routines for the production of bathymetric grids will be presented. A look at where the technology and industry is going in the future as new applications of these data are explored will also be discussed. NOTE there will not be a presentation at COGS for this seminar due to time constraint of the presenter. When & Where: Note the change in time and day from the usual CIG seminars at BIO. All are welcome and please feel free to distribute this message to others who may be interested. The following event is open to anyone interested. This event is a GeoConnections funded FREE workshop co-hosted event with CIG, GANS and GeoNOVA that will be presented by: Workshop GeoNOVA data access will also be demonstrated during the workshop. " Get Geography Working for You: Access and Use Authoritative Geospatial Framework Data" Business analysts, planners and decision makers across a range of disciplines and business sectors are increasingly experiencing the benefits of visualizing and analyzing their information through a geographic lens. Online applications such as Google Earth and Microsoft Bing Maps have resulted in exponential growth in the use of Internet mapping, but they have data limitations. Sites such as the GeoBase Portal (www.geobase.ca), offer online access to a wealth of freely available, authoritative Canadian geospatial framework data that can in turn be integrated with other data to produce informative maps. This half-day technical workshop is designed for both casual and professional users of Internet mapping and geospatial information technologies. The workshop is based on the recently completed Framework Data Guide developed through GeoConnections, and is delivered in five modules: Module 1: An Introduction to Framework Data The targeted audience for the workshop is practitioners in the public health, public safety and security, environment and sustainable development, and Aboriginal matters communities of practice with an interest in learning more about how to access and use geospatial framework data. When & Where Mon. Dec. 14 NOTE: seating is limited to 25 people at the BIO workshop, so please RSVP to Ed Kennedy via email EKennedy@hal.ca Tues. Dec 15.
CIG Seminar " What is the Nova Scotia Topographic Database" His talk will cover a description of the data themes, both vector and digital orthophotos, that make up the NSTDB. he will cover how the data are collected and maintained using ArcGIS and the latest in photogrammetry and what products are created at the Geomatics Centre for distribution. When & Where Thurs. Dec 10. Fri. Dec. 11 ****************************** The next CIG Seminar will be given by Mike Pearson, President of GeoNet Technologies, PEI (http://www.geonet-tech.com/index.htm) *******************
