Join us for the first session in our ‘Locate Connect’ online learning series! Hear from Scott Dewar, Director, Chris Hewett, Assistant Secretary GEOINT Capability and Development & Phil Shears, Director DEF799 Phase 2.
In this session from 1300 – 1400, the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) will be launching the Defence Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) Strategy, a document that addresses how the Defence GEOINT Community will transform to meet the future needs of the Australian Defence Force. The AGO Executive will also provide an update on their GEOINT projects and announce upcoming opportunities for industry and discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the organisation.
Then from 1430 – 1545, AGO, along with Frontier SI will describe how The Analytics Lab Program (AGO Labs) fits into the bigger picture of AGO capability and summarise the outcomes of their 2019 activities. AGO Labs, coordinated through FrontierSI, is investigating a number of ways to better engage and work with industry. Specifically, the AGO is keen to attract a wider pool of companies and technologies to draw on for automated geospatial intelligence. The primary focus of this program is to address AGO capability challenges through a small number of short-term industry projects, with a focus on machine learning and analytics for producing automated imagery analysis, including automated object classification. AGO will announce a new 2020 program of challenges hoping to find innovative solutions through their partnership with FrontierSI.
Join our expert panel as we explore the issues that arise around applying machine learning to mining applications.
We are all used to the idea that machines can do things that humans can’t – computers can do calculations quicker, robots don’t tire as easily, plotters don’t make silly mistakes and excavators are stronger than a pick and shovel.
We acknowledge the practical usefulness of machines but we want to retain control of the power to ‘think’. We learn from our successes, discard the false trails and slowly advance.
The good news is that machines can learn too. With machine learning, the paths that don’t work are discarded and the paths that work are reinforced very quickly, exponentially even. Our ‘thinking’ then comes into play and we can reset parameters before a new solution is presented for approval. The machine learns what we want, and does its thinking so that our thinking is more targeted.
This forum will be hosted by Steve Sullivan, Senior Technical Sales Specialist & Technical Lead at Maptek, joined by panellists Penny Stewart, Hugh Sanderson and Christie Myburgh.
Discover live how Fly&Drive is operated to map infrastructure from an above, oblique and side perspective. Multiplying viewpoints of the lidar survey offers higher chance to have complete coverage of the object of interest. For infrastructure mapping, it allows exhaustive coverage of building outer shell.
In this webinar, you’ll learn :
Fly&Drive product unboxing, vehicle setup and operation
The quick switch from UAV to vehicle
How Fly&Drive answers the need for hybrid mobile/UAV projects

This presentation will evaluate progress on the 3D Qld RoadMap developed by the 3D Qld joint government industry taskforce in the transformation of the successful, centuries’ old, land surveying practice and law to create a modernised and efficient 3D Digital Cadastral System capable of enabling integrated approaches to 3D design, construction and management of the built environment. Discussion will include enabling initiatives such as the Cadastre Qld Transformation, Digital Twin for SEQ under the joint government “City Deal” Project, progress on standards / legislative enablers as well as market indicators and the significance these projects play in the RoadMap realisation. The significance of industry collaboration and reskilling were identified as critical aspects in the RoadMap for readiness and the presentation will also address these issues.
The Three Day Mini-Conference will be delivered in July, with 21 speakers over 3 days and taking place for 2 hours late in the afternoon. This exciting event will feature highly anticipated keynote speakers such as Bruce Thompson, Dr Karen Joyce and Nyall Dawson covering topics such as smart cities, surveying, sustainable development objectives, key projects and much, much more.
Wednesday 8 July – Friday 10 July 2020 – 1530 – 1730
