Abstract
Abstract. This presentation describes a geospatial reference framework for managing student surveyed topographic data of a university campus. This topographic data is collected annually by Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering (GGE) students at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) as part of the requirements for a UNB course. Examples of the type of features collected include: buildings, roads, sidewalks, walking paths, bike racks, parking lots and parking designation (e.g. accessibility parking). The applications and the information products built for managing this student surveyed topographic data can be viewed as a geospatial reference framework for this GGE survey camp.
Highlights
Each year, Geomatics Engineering (GGE) students conduct a topographic survey of part of University of New Brunswick (UNB) campus as part of the course requirements for GGE2013; this course is often referred to as Survey Camp II
GGE students conduct a topographic survey of part of UNB campus as part of the course requirements for GGE2013; this course is often referred to as Survey Camp II
Students work in groups and each group is assigned a specific area of UNB campus
Summary
GGE students conduct a topographic survey of part of UNB campus as part of the course requirements for GGE2013; this course is often referred to as Survey Camp II. In comparison with orthophotos -- acquired for the City of Fredericton (New Brunswick, Canada) in 2008, resolution is approximately 15 cm -- the student’s survey data generally may be described as: (a) the collected data tends to correctly depict the location of features on the UNB campus; and (b) the data is complete, that is, contains the topographic features that students were responsible for surveying. This data, does contain several issues [Sepehr, 2014].
