In+ersec+ion for Spatial People

SupergeoM Technologies, the leading global provider of complete GIS software and solutions, announced that DGPS post-processing tool will be introduced to assist SuperPad users in post-processing the collected field data using SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a to improve data accuracy.

SuperPad 3, a full-function mobile GIS application field survey and mapping, allows surveyors to collect, edit, and measure spatial data. Working with GPS, SuperPad 3 performs waypoint guidance and creation with GPS, etc. Therefore, the field workforce is able to promptly identify current position and collect spatial data.

When surveyors collect spatial data with GPS, interferences form ionosphere, atmosphere, anthropogenic factors, and electrical noise may result in positioning error during process of transmitting satellite signal. To avoid such errors occurring frequently, SuperPad 3 will offer an extension to help users accurately collect spatial data and record satellite signals simultaneously. As a result, the data collection can be imported to SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a and rectified with the post-processing tool.

ACCURACY 2012
International Spatial Accuracy Research Association (ISARA)
The Tenth International Symposium on Spatial Accuracy Assessment in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences
July 10-13, 2012
Florianópolis, SC - Brazil

http://2012.spatial-accuracy.org/

TOPICS: All topics concerned with spatial accuracy and uncertainty in a natural resources and environmental sciences context are appropriate, for example:

* Semantic uncertainty and vagueness
* Modelling uncertainty using geostatistics
* Propagation of uncertainty in GIS
* Visualizing spatial uncertainty
* Uncertainty in Remote Sensing
* Spatio-temporal uncertainty
* Accuracy and uncertainty of DEMs
* Modelling scale in environmental systems
* Positional uncertainty

PUBLICATION: We welcome the submission of both oral papers and posters. For both modes of presentation authors are invited to submit abstracts of no more than 500 words in English on original research.Those accepted will be presented as oral papers/posters at the symposium and published as short papers in the symposium proceedings (ISBN listed). All accepted authors will also be invited to submit a full paper for consideration towards an special issue of an international journal.

MODES OF PARTICIPATION: Oral papers and posters. Pre-conference workshop proposals also welcome.

DEADLINES:
 

Abstract submission:  December 9th, 2011
Abstract acceptance notification: March 1st, 2012
Short final paper submission: May 11th, 2012
Workshop proposals: October 18th, 2011
Workshop acceptance notification: October 31st, 2011

It is important to mention that this will be the first time the Spatial Accuracy Group co-organizes a conference with The Commission on Modelling Geographical System of the International Geographical Union (IGU-CMGS) on the research area of common interest.

Here's the recent geonews that haven't made it into an individual story in batch mode.

From the open source / open data front:

• While we mentioned it indirectly in the past, we never specifically mentioned the existence of OpenCycleMap.org, based, of course, on OpenStreetMap
• The "open" MapQuest maps now support worldwide pedestrian and bicycle routing along with transit routes
• An article in Scientific American is using OpenStreetMap data to map the local 'food desert'
• The OpenGeo Suite Enterprise Edition 2.4.0 has been released

From the ESRI front:

• ESRI released their ArcGIS API for JavaScript version 2.2
• A third entry on useful ArcGIS Explorer add-ins III

In the everything-else category:

• GeoCurrents offers an informative serie of entries on Libyan maps: Libya’s Tribal Divisions and the Nation-State, Libya’s Geographical Divisions and the Challenge to National Unity, Libya’s Fezzan: A Bulwark of the Gaddafi Regime
  , Gaddafi’s Saharan Farming Schemes and Libyan Agricultural Hexagons. On the same topic, TMR shares an entry on the Libya Crisis Map
• Rememer that GPS positioning in the U.S. is in danger because of LightSquared? APB shares a followup including the mention of the 'Coalition to Save Our GPS'
• Following the earthquake in New Zealand, there's fresh imagery of Christchurch
• Google and Microsoft have teamed together to sue a patent troll who sued 397 companies over a geotagging patent
• Microsoft offers an entry on modular design and client side clustering with Bing Maps V7
• O'Reilly offers an article on location privacy named Privacy law needs a reboot
• A followup on a previous story, Slashdot discusses a student suing the FBI for planting a GPS tracker on his car. On this topic, SpatialLaw offers an entry named Government's Use of Tracking Technology: More Than A Constitutional Issue?
• It seems the FAA now allows iPad as an alternative to aviation charts
• TMR links to a review of Casio's geotagging camera
• APB mentions that Turtles Use Earth’s Magnetic Field to Determine Longitude
• In a perspective entry, SS asks Is it time for an impartial auditing board on spatial data accuracy?

In the maps category:

• TMR shares a map of the index of potential unrest, on this topic, some claims Google Earth as a Factor in Middle East Unrest
• TMR shares a map of internal U.S. migration flows
