FIG Working Week 2020. A Proposal for a Level of Implementation Framework

A new collaborative paper in which we have been involved has been published

This article investigates the current status of generating 3D building models across 11 countries in Southeast Asia from publicly available data, primarily volunteered geoinformation (OpenStreetMap)

There is an increasing activity in developing workflows and implementations to convert BIM data into CityGML. However, there are still not many platforms that are suitable to view and interact with the detailed information stored as a result of such conversions, especially if an Application Domain Extension (ADE) is involved to support additional information

This year’s OpenStreetMap conference moved online retaining its full spirit

New journal paper published in the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

We attended the Geospatial KL 2019 International Conference, which features the following three major conferences in one place: 6th International Conference Geomatics & Geospatial Technology 4th International Conference on Smart Data and Smart Cities 8th FIG Workshop on the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM).

We are very pleased to have had this year’s 3D GeoInfo hosted in Singapore. The 14th edition of the conference, co-organised by the National University of Singapore and the Singapore Land Authority, was part of a broader event named 3D Singapore, which comprised also three pre-conference workshops: 2nd BIM/GIS Integration Workshop, Point Clouds Training, and Big Data and Urban Analytics Workshop.

An investigation into the implementation state of open standards in software is currently ongoing through the ISPRS/EuroSDR ‘GeoBIM benchmark 2019’ initiative

A significant number of studies has been carried out to establish 3D cadastre solutions to improve the registration of multi-level property

Much work has been done on quality of geoinformation and interoperability between BIM and GIS. However, the intersection of the two - quality control of the conversion between BIM and GIS - remains uncharted
