Nightmare on GIS Street: GNSS Accuracy, Datums and Geospatial Data
Sponsored by: Hemisphere GNSS Broadcast Date: Thursday, June 20, 2013 Moderator: Eric Gakstatter, Survey Scene Newsletter Editor Speakers: Kevin Kelly, Geodesist, ESRI, Inc.; Craig Greenwald, Technical Director, GeoMobile Innovations; Michael L. Dennis, RLS, PE, Geodesist, NOAA Summary: A look at the challenge of dealing with horizontal datums in your GIS. We are moving into a new era in dealing with datum transformations. Geodata 2.0 is coming, and it can create big headaches when attempting to combine disparate geospatial databases. Sensors such as GPS receivers, remote sensing imagery, and 3D scanning provide much more accurate data, setting up a collision with outdated and mismatched legacy horizontal datums.
