Geomatics as a geospatial science, including technologies and processes, has experienced a boost in recent years with the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensing instruments [1]. In this regard, specific geographical information can be achieved with sufficient accuracy because of the autonomy and abilities of UAVs, including the advantage of providing access to hidd...

Florida depends on the oceans, yet its waters have not been extensively mapped to highest standards. While there is a need for marine spatial data wide range of applications and issues, also develop acquisition, processing, analytical workflows integrate different surveying instruments that can capture complex extensive coastal environment – both above below waterline. This note provides an ove...

More than half of the global population lives in urban areas. This will increase to 70% by 2050. Urban growth is most rapid in the developing world, where cities gain an average of five million residents every month. As cities grow in size and population, harmony among the spatial, social and environmental aspects of a city and between their inhabitants becomes of paramount importance. This har...

Abstract. This paper aims to introduce the concept and objectives of a recently supported European project entitled “Geomatics Civil Engineering Innovative Research on Heritage”, in short ENGINEER. The ENGINEER visions enhance extend inter-departmental multidisciplinary research activities Department & Geomatics Cyprus University Technology through coordination support actions as well t...

An ideal situation for a country or region will be to have a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) containing the datasets and models necessary to support all the planning and decision processes. Often, especially in developing countries, this is not the case. Can governments take good and valid decisions in cases where the available SDI is not capable of having all the datasets or models required ...

This paper addresses some of the pertinent issues related to the workforce configuration of a C2 organization within the Canadian Forces. The mission of the latter is to produce Geomatics Information supporting US National Imaging and Mapping Agency’s (NIMA) Foundation Based Operations (FBO). Initially, the open queueing network representation of the Geomatics division (where each node or stati...

The final project for students enrolled in Geospatial Technologies for the K-12 Classroom (GEOG 321) is the development of a lesson for their future classroom. An obstacle to implementing geospatial technologies in public classrooms is lack of relevant curriculum and data. After reviewing the limited existing curriculum, students design age-appropriate lessons for possible publication on the Ne...
