What’s more fun than scanning real-world objects with your phone? Scanning a Tyrannosaurus rex toy and turning it into a 3D model! This blog explores how an iPhone 12 Pro and apps like Polycam can transform everyday objects into high-resolution point clouds and meshes. The Process: > Scan the T-Rex (carefully, no sudden movements - don’t startle it!) > Process the data into a mesh or point cloud (because even tiny dinosaurs deserve proper rendering). > Drop it onto a digital map - because what’s cooler than a T-Rex roaming your GIS project? This experiment from Darren Wiens proves that mobile LiDAR isn’t just practical, it’s evolving quickly as developers embrace the new generation of depth sensors.

“Geospatial technology” is the modern expression of geography, encompassing geographic information systems, remote sensing, and surveying technology. It’s a convenient catch-all term for anything with a location component. The problem is that geography is quite literally everywhere, and modern geospatial technology is, in fact, changing everything. #Geospatial #RemoteSensing #Technology #GeospatialIsChangingEverything

Today, we've announced that NORTH51 has been postponed to January 2026. While the conference has been postponed, our commitment to driving important conversations and connecting the brightest minds in the industry is stronger than ever. We encourage you to stay engaged - whether by exploring speaking opportunities, joining us as a sponsor, or sharing your insights with the community. Together, we can ensure NORTH51 2026 is an even greater platform for innovation, collaboration, and impactful ideas. NORTH51 Conference, Will Cadell, Jonathan Neufeld, GNO-SYS Technology

Hey team, If I were to characterize the last five years, I would use the word complex. The one continuity in this changing landscape is #geography itself. But while geography continues to be critical, how can the #geospatial community of practice avoid being sidelined? Geospatial is changing everything, while everything is also changing geospatial. https://lnkd.in/g8Fdfre5 #innovation #geospatial #strategy #gis

What if #AI could automate the analysis of biodiversity data to support #sustainabledevelopment? At the latest ?????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ??????????????, James Banting from Sparkgeo - Geospatial Consulting & Development showcased how #GenerativeAI and #geospatialtechnology are transforming the way we approach environmental conservation. Key highlights: ? AI interprets complex #biodiversity net gain documents to support land development projects? ? #Geospatialcontext is embedded in AI-driven analysis for more accurate results? ? #Automation of data processing makes it faster and more efficient to assess biodiversity impacts “"???????????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????? ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????????????? ??????????????, ???????????? ???? ???????????? ?????? ???????????????????? ???? ???????? ?????????????????????????? ??????????????????” -- ?????????? ??????????????

#Time is a critical dimension with which to measure #change. It's about time we treated time as a first-class citizen in #geospatial.

We're gearing up for NORTH51 Conference on April 23-25 at The Malcolm Hotel in the Canadian Rockies. Have you got your ticket yet? https://www.n51.ca/tickets #MappingtheUnseen #Geospatial #Leaders #BigIdeas

#TGI's monthly #GeoAI Working Group meeting took place on March 6 with a large virtual audience! Presentations from three #TGI Amazon Web Services (AWS) #GenerativeAI Challenge winners: ? James Banting of Sparkgeo - Geospatial Consulting & Development: Presented on Biodiversity Net Gain, exploring how #AI can support #biodiversity #conservation and #sustainability efforts. ? Matt Reisman of Bedrock Research: Discussed how combining Synthetic and Remote Sensed Data through #MultimodalAI improves #geospatialanalysis and #decisionmaking." ? Robert Carroll of Tera Analytics: Focused on #PropertyRiskIndex, showcasing how #GenerativeAI models can predict property risks using #geospatialdata to assist in #riskmanagement. ?? Marge Cole from #TGI shared: "As I look back to when I started with #NASA’s Digital Earth program in 2000, we imagined these possibilities, but they seemed unimaginable due to the technology and interoperability challenges at the time. To see these advancements now, with AI and geospatial data coming together so rapidly, is truly amazing." ??
