Objective:

The Canadian Geomatics Conference will focus on the abundant yet largely untapped potential of Intelligent Mapping and the critical role Geomatics can play in bolstering Canada’s productivity, innovation, global competitiveness and overall socio-economic well-being.

The Conference is designed to attract decision-makers, the general public and non-traditional users of spatial information, as well as those deeply involved within the Geomatics community: educators, developers, government, industry, and scientists. ISPRS Commission I will present a concurrent program focused on sensors and platforms. This will provide insight into the role space and satellites play in developing the ability to observe, detect and capture accurate data from great distances.
