To tackle the demand for more accurate and up-to-date spatial data, Dynamic Vicmap is using AI and space-based Earth observation data to find new ways to build and maintain Vicmap datasets to make them more accurate, and easier to maintain and enhance.
An example is the use of the Vicmap Hydro product to tag and link data to enrich the contextual detail of Vicmap’s data to, for instance, indicate what has changed, why it changed and who changed it. This will make it easier to find, sort and understand data in relation to other data and pieces of information.
Digital maps of information called Knowledge Graphs will be produced to show how entities are interconnected, using nodes to show how the different Vicmap datasets sit in context with each other.
A joint initiative of Vicmap and the Digital Twin Victoria program, supported by Frontier SI, SmartSat CRC and RMIT, Dynamic Vicmap will also look at using satellite technology for future earth observations, with the aim of helping to improve current aerial imagery practices and deliver more frequent updates that are captured using consistent methods.
