Face it: sometimes your accuracy just hits the iceberg. We have seen error reports within 0.011 of a foot and we’ve seen them crest near 0.080 of a foot. The key to obtaining LiDAR accuracy is understanding the components.
Evolving technologies and expectations have blurred the traditional distinction between surveying and GIS. As a result, surveyors should expect to be asked to provide more GIS-ready data and GIS professionals should plan to provide positions with higher accuracy than previously required.
The gathering and use of geospatial information is critical to drone operators, who must have visibility of weather patterns, flight conditions and locations, as well as ground locations that relate to the flight.
As Shannon Doyle, GISP, pointed out at the 2016 Esri User Conference, many industries have clearly defined standards for what it means to be a professional.
It is friendly competitions like the SpaceNet Challenge that will energize researchers from around the world to see just how they can use machine automation to not take geospatial satellite imagery and mapping to the next level.
A recent conversation Mary Shacklett had with Boundless Geospatial ignited an oft neglected area of IT savings opportunity: the ability to use open source geospatial applications that come with no software licensing fees to pay for.
In my interview with Tiffany Perrin, GISP, featured in this month’s Geo Positions, a part of her answer to how she views the state of geographic information systems (GIS) is, “They can be used in any discipline.”
The PIPES Act of 2016 was signed into law on June 22, 2016. The purposes of the act are to protect the U.S. infrastructure of pipelines and to enhance public safety. PIPES requires certification, data management, testing and mapping of all types of the more than 2.6 million miles of buried energy pipelines across the country.
As GIS expands from strictly mapping functions to an ability to aggregate data along GIS parameters for more informed results, users of geospatial information will be asked to produce new products for their clients.
