Geospatial Technologies Used in Land Administration

1. Geospatial Technologies Used in Land Administration Kevin DaughertyLand Administration Solutions ManagerGeospatial World Forum Rotterdam, Netherlands – May 2013

2. As the supply decreases, the price increases! • 29% of the Earth is land mass • 40% of that is wilderness • 29% is desert or desert-like • 9% is Antarctica • 22% is agriculture • ~1% is inhabited by humans • 8 Billion people by 2020 • 40% of the Earth’s population lives within 100 kilometers of the coastline

3. The human footprint is expanding.

4. We need to manage, and to do that, we need to measure and monitor.

5. Positioning and Geospatial Technologies are the means to monetize and value. • Measure • Monitor • Inventory • Assess • Model • Analyze • Manage • Plan

6. The Foundation of Geospatial Data is the Geographic Reference System

7. Consisting of… Network Control (Data Processing) Communications (cellular/radio/satellite)

8. Transportation Administration Public Facilities Agriculture Planning Geographic InformationSystem Cadastral NaturalResources Land Administration

9. Geographic knowledge is to land administratorswhat reading is to an individual.

10. Space based Imagery

11. Earth Bound Technologies In Use • Aerial image acquisition • Digital cameras and systems • LiDAR sensors • UAS/UAV • Processing software • Survey • Optical • GNSS • Mapping and GIS • Scanning • Mobile • Fixed

12. Aerial Imagery Workflow and Technology

13. Commercial UAS and UAVs • Mapping and surveying • Light Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) • Compact camera • New-generation ofphotogrammetry • Vision software tools and automation

14. Rapid Quality Output • Orthophotos • Natural color • Color Infrared • 5 cm resolution • 2 cm accuracy (w/GCPs) • Digital Surface Model (DSM) • 4 cm accuracy (w/GCPs)

15. Illegal Mining Land Degradation Deforestation Undocumented settlements For Example - Suriname

16. Survey and Data Collection The cost of labor, the value of land, may determine the method.

17. User Interface

18. Options in Accuracy and Cost Features range from the utilization of a Smartphone OS and form factor; to handhelds with GNSS integration; to rugged, sunlight displays with advanced PC processors and Windows OS.

19. Precision Survey Units

20. Ground-based LiDAR Systems • Laser Technology • Phase shift • 976,000 points per second • Range • Up to 120m • Accuracy • 1-2mm standard deviation • Integrated color camera • Photorealistic 3D color scans • 70mp parallax free color overlay

22. How Valuable is Land?

23. Land is an asset, however… Mining Deforestation Agriculture Bio-Fuels Production

24. Urbanization

25. What is the cost when…?

26. From Measure to Management… …to gains in productivity

27. Planting Seeding Implement Guidance Spraying Guidance Spreading Vigor Mapping & VRA Drainage Harvesting Leveling Agricultural Solutions

28. The “Connected Farm” will transform agriculture by leveraging information everywhere in the process • Farm planning, mapping & management • Tractor & implement, guidance & control • Variable rate applications of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides • Yield mapping • Increased yields • Reduced input costs: Fuel, fertilizers, pesticides • Reduced environmental impact Record Keeping Mapping Analysis Monitoring Topographic Productivity Accounting Annual Economic Benefits of Precision Agriculture to U.S. Crop Farming Pham et. al. 2011, The Economic Benefits of Commercial GPS Use

29. Positioning and Geospatial Technology Monetized! • Positioning and Geospatial technologies are expanding in capabilities and performance • There are many options today for positioning, field data collection, and data processing • The technology is improving accuracy and efficiency in our work places • The positioning and sensor hardware is more integrated with software that collects, processes, models, analyzes the data; making the data useful and intelligent; and valuable!
