Summary
A portable laser scanning facility for geomatic data capture. Ground-based laser scaning is an emerging technology that promises to revolutionize spatial data capture for the geomatics industry due to its high data volume, accuracy and acquisition rate. This proposal brings together leading academics from Australasia to establish a laser scanning facility that will enhance existing projects and explore new avenues in geomatic research. The facility will impact on the research programs of partici ....A portable laser scanning facility for geomatic data capture. Ground-based laser scaning is an emerging technology that promises to revolutionize spatial data capture for the geomatics industry due to its high data volume, accuracy and acquisition rate. This proposal brings together leading academics from Australasia to establish a laser scanning facility that will enhance existing projects and explore new avenues in geomatic research. The facility will impact on the research programs of participating institutions in the fields of high-resolution thematic mapping and visualization, environmental geomatics, geomatic monitoring and geomatic engineering. Furthermore, the facility will allow Australasian universities to develop a knowledge base in this new and exciting technology.Read moreRead less
Three-dimensional property ownership map base for smart urban land administration. Three-dimensional property ownership map base for smart urban land administration. This project aims to support smart urban land administration by upgrading a two-dimensional (2D) property ownership map base to a three-dimensional (3D) map base, using 3D digital data from regulatory subdivision processes. The map base coherently represents all land-based parcels, and provides valuable intelligence used to make lan ....Three-dimensional property ownership map base for smart urban land administration. Three-dimensional property ownership map base for smart urban land administration. This project aims to support smart urban land administration by upgrading a two-dimensional (2D) property ownership map base to a three-dimensional (3D) map base, using 3D digital data from regulatory subdivision processes. The map base coherently represents all land-based parcels, and provides valuable intelligence used to make land and property decisions. The 2D map base omits above and underground properties and infrastructure common in urban settings, forcing stakeholders to rely on fragmented data streams. The 3D map base will provide a connected, digital source of intelligence about urban property objects. This is expected to reduce social and economic risks and enable more intelligent city planning and management.Read moreRead less
Automating and integrating spatial data and metadata processes. The ability to automatically generate metadata relating to spatial information, and make it available through the Australian SDI will have important benefits not only at an organizational level (with each organization saving time and money in generating their metadata), but at a national level because it will assist delivery of high quality spatial information and services to vast areas of Australia. This will aid in addressing nati ....Automating and integrating spatial data and metadata processes. The ability to automatically generate metadata relating to spatial information, and make it available through the Australian SDI will have important benefits not only at an organizational level (with each organization saving time and money in generating their metadata), but at a national level because it will assist delivery of high quality spatial information and services to vast areas of Australia. This will aid in addressing national issues concerned with land management, environmental sustainability, water rights, indigenous land tenure and disaster management, which can only be addressed by having the ability to find and access high quality spatial information.

A Marine Cadastre for Australia - Addressing Key Scientific and Policy Issues. A marine cadastre provides a means for delineating, managing and administering legally definable offshore boundaries. Marine cadastre research was initiated in Australia under a previous ARC grant which aimed at defining issues affecting the development of an Australian marine cadastre. The current project focuses on four such issues :
(1) Resolving ambiguities in the definition of the tidal interface
(2) Issues ....A Marine Cadastre for Australia - Addressing Key Scientific and Policy Issues. A marine cadastre provides a means for delineating, managing and administering legally definable offshore boundaries. Marine cadastre research was initiated in Australia under a previous ARC grant which aimed at defining issues affecting the development of an Australian marine cadastre. The current project focuses on four such issues :
(1) Resolving ambiguities in the definition of the tidal interface
(2) Issues in the use of natural rather than geometric boundaries to define jurisdictional limits
(3) Expanding the Australian Spatial Data Infrastructure to support a marine cadastre
(4) Legal and security issues intrinsic to the development of a marine cadastre.Read moreRead less
The Integration of Built and Natural Environmental Datasets in National Spatial Data Infrastructure Initiatives. Delivering sustainable development nationally assumes knowledge about the natural and built environment. This requires access to data about these two environments which is facilitated by establishing a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The problem in Australia is that the states are the custodians of large to medium built and natural datasets while the Federal Government is ....The Integration of Built and Natural Environmental Datasets in National Spatial Data Infrastructure Initiatives. Delivering sustainable development nationally assumes knowledge about the natural and built environment. This requires access to data about these two environments which is facilitated by establishing a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The problem in Australia is that the states are the custodians of large to medium built and natural datasets while the Federal Government is the custodian of small scale natural datasets. While Australia has seen some success, the integration of these datasets is hampered by jurisdictional, institutional, administrative and legal issues. This research will investigate the differences in these forms of data and the justification and policy framework to integrate them in a NSDI.Read moreRead less
Development of Representation, Presentation and Interaction Models for the. The primary aims of this research are to develop representation, presentation and interaction models for the delivery of geospatial information using WAP-enabled cellular phone and mobile Internet technology and to implement these for the purposes of Australian fleet drivers.

The primary aims of this research are to develop representation, presentation and interaction models for the delivery of geospatial information using WAP-enabled cellular phone and mobile Internet technology and to implement these for the purposes of Australian fleet drivers. Research and testing relating to small-screen delivery of geospatial information is necessary to ensure that future products and services are usable and satisfy user needs. Expected outcomes include a greater understanding of the requirements of the Australian market, new models that will contribute to the evolution of the geospatial mobile Internet industry and a functional prototype with the potential for commercialisation.Read moreRead less
Digital Imagery for Building 3D City Models.

Land and property information in 3D. Australia’s population growth results in multiple uses and stacked villages in 3-dimensional (3D) arrays of buildings and facilities in cities. This project will facilitate use of 3D technologies to support the land market, streamline legal requirements, decrease delays and reduce costs for designing, planning, building and managing modern cities.
A National infrastructure to manage land information. Australia is one of about 30 countries in the world capable of managing land transactions in reliable land registers. The administrative framework however is 150 years old, built according to a 19th century statutory model appropriate to a less complicated and slower land market. Now land information, and particularly the digital land parcel map, is Australia's most valuable but underutilised asset.
