Mining Surveying Workshop
Commission: 6
Chair: Eng. Maria Joao Henriques, Chair FIG Commission 6, Portugal

Mining surveying is an important part of engineering surveying, which covers making measurements in underground workings, open pits, but also under the water surface. However, these are also control measurements that allow you to check the geometry of mining facilities, structures, devices and machines in relation to the design assumptions and legal regulations.
The topics proposed during the workshop are related to the following three basic activities of a mining surveyor: the staking out and control of the geometry of objects will be shown by presenting laser scanning techniques, environmental impact - by assessing the transformation of the state of the surface water environment in artificially drained mining and post-mining areas for the purpose of acquiring metadata for spatial development plans, and InSAR radar analysis of surface deformations. Specialized measuring devices will also be presented, allowing to perform tests in mining shafts and excavations in a way that is unique in the world.

RIEGL Waveform LiDAR: Highly accurate, informative point clouds as the basis for the digital twin

With the advent of digitalization in almost all areas of life, the need for highly accurate, informative basic data on the reliable basis of which the most diverse applications can be built is increasing. Ongoing R&D efforts and the continuous further development of RIEGL Waveform LiDAR technology ensure that RIEGL laser scanners and laser scanning systems can be used to acquire precisely this basic data - precise, informative and comprehensive point clouds - extremely quickly, efficiently and effectively.

The presentation will present the current developments in airborne, UAV-based, mobile and terrestrial laser scanning, discuss the special features of the sensors and systems and show their advantages for the different application areas by means of application examples.

For mobile laser scanning applications, RIEGL now offers a wide range of different mobile mapping systems. This allows the user to use a system optimized for the application, depending on the planned area of use. Special attention will be given to airborne data acquisition by discussing the capabilities of the large RIEGL portfolio of extremely compact and lightweight UAV LiDAR Sensors as well as the RIEGL sensors and systems for applications with helicopters and fixed-wing planes in large area mapping. In addition to the standard applications of terrestrial laser scanning, the use of laser scanners for data acquisition using robotic systems that record 3D data with millimeter accuracy in stop-&-go mode extremely quickly and in a user-friendly manner will be presented.

Commission: 2, 5 & CDN
Chair: Dr. Daniel Roman, Chair FIG Commission 5, United States
Rapporteur: Dr. Kevin Ahlgren,, United States

Positioning and measurement have become easier to perform but more complicated to understand. Increasingly, GNSS technology is used to collect data, which is processed by very capable software. However, the surveying professional must understand the capabilities and limitations of such technology to meet professional obligations. This session provides an overview of global to regional efforts to develop opportunities for education, training and capacity development for surveyors and associated professions. It provides context for the development of national Spatial Data Infrastructures in which positioning and measurement are performed.

TS03D: Valuation of Unregistered Land Manual
Commission: 9 & GLTN
Chair: Mr. James Kavanagh, United Kingdom

Joint UN-Habitat-GLTN/FIG session.

The 2021 Valuation of Unregistered Land manual (as jointly prepared by UN-Habitat, GLTN, FIG, IVSC, RICS), has been gaining significant traction and adoption in land valuation for large-scale land acquisition in the global south. The expert group has engaged with the World Bank, IGAD and numerous national land commissions (most recently Kenya, Indonesia and Uganda) and professional surveying institutions on the manual and developing a better understanding of this complex and often fractious area of practice. The manual, which builds upon the 2018 Policy Guide, and its use has also led to a significant evolution of ‘valuation’ understanding, especially on non-market value (social, cultural and natural) and its incorporation into current practices. The session will highlight the key features of the manual and how it works, explore the evolution of understanding of the non-market value and its significance and discuss various global case studies on unregistered land and the acquisition, valuation and compensation processes in operation (or not!). This will be a very interactive session with a Q&A session; the manual is arguably one of the most important outputs in our global land sectors in recent years.

Use Case Spotlights: Mapping and Modelling Cities Using Drones

It’s no secret that drone operations bring a robust return on investment, but what other benefits can they bring to your fieldwork? We’ll explore some real-world use cases from surveyors across Europe who are using drones to increase their spatial data collection efficiency while expanding their project capacity and profit potential. Experts will discuss accuracy and data quality, regulatory advantages for lightweight drones and will showcase outputs from a range of mapping missions including Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and Operations Over People (OOP) for large-scale city modelling.

Joint UNECE and FIG session.

In the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, UNECE prepared the COVID-19 Recovery Action Plan for Informal Settlements in the UNECE Region. This Recovery Action Plan aims at providing cities with robust and efficient action measures to enhance the integration of informal settlements in the urban fabric while recovering from the crisis caused by the pandemic. The Plan is underpinned by assessment reports on informal settlements in the four project cities: Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan as well as Tirana, Albania; Podgorica, Montenegro; and Skopje, North Macedonia.

The Building Back Better Informal Settlements in the UNECE Region session is designed to:

• Raise awareness about the implementation of the COVID-19 Recovery Action Plan for Informal Settlements in the UNECE Region and its key deliverables,
• Discuss with representatives of local and national authorities and local stakeholders how to best implement the Plan’s recommendations within their specific contexts.
• Present the online learning platform for the Recovery Action Plan with resources and trainings on the Plan’s implementation amongst other resources.

TS05B: Land Tenure Reform System for Mars
Commission: YS & VCSP
Chair: Ms. Roshni Sharma, Australia
Rapporteur: Ms. Claire Buxton, Canada

A group of Martians have asked the assistance of humans to create a land administration system on Mars. How will you go about it? What method would you go about in doing this, keeping in mind that you still want to preserve their land practices, heritage, and values. It is expected that young surveyors around the world who took part in this challenge will get value from being involved in this opportunity, which will:

• Provide them with a chance to network with other like-minded surveying enthusiasts from around the world
• Explore a fun, thought-provoking concept to put their knowledge and skills to practice in a new way, learning by doing
• Create a project concept that will be a useful demonstration of initiative on how land administration systems can be used to support creating a sustainable environment, which can add value to their resumes.

Sponsor Presentation: SKYSNAP

It's time to digitize surveying - BIM, AI, process automation, advanced su for data collection.

Combining photogrammetry and machine learning starts to deliver on the high potential for optimizing and automating work in the construction and geodesy industry. Photogrammetry allows us to scan the terrain around us and transform simple images into measurable digital models. AI/ML allows us to analyze these terrain models and gain insights on what is visible on them.

SkySnap will present the following uses case from recent projects based on drone data:

• monitoring the progress of construction site and detecting errors based on differences of as-designed to as-built
• taking inventory of existing infrastructure and building a GIS database to support designing
• identifying issues and mitigating risk factors on existing infrastructure to support maintenance activities
• monitoring traffic safety based on movement of cars on main crossroads

TS06F: LADM in the Classroom – Making the Land Administration Domain Model Accessible
Commission: 7
Chair: Dr. Dimo Todorovski, Chair Elect FIG Commission 2, Netherlands
Rapporteur: Mr. Dogus Guler, Türkiye

LADM in the classroom – making the Land Administration Domain Model accessible How do you as land professional explain LADM to your colleagues, managers, and the next generation? Within the School for Land Administration Studies, a cooperation of ITC, Faculty of UTwente and Kadaster, we observed that fully understanding the LADM can be challenging for both professionals, students and novices. Given the complexity of the subject, this can be expected. Good teaching aids that materialise the concepts and diagrams prescribed in the standard are needed. Part of the problem is that the modelling language, that is the 'Unified Modelling Language', is not so easy to understand. Whoever wants to understand LADM must also understand UML. This is needed to see, analyse, interpret, apply and thus understand the wealth of functionality the LADM offers.

This session will present a teaching methodology that starts from the concrete level (end product) and not from the abstraction level (UML). This means starting from a cadastral map with visually linked rights and entitled parties. Then the translation of this data into database tables is the next level of understanding. What do these tables look like for the data shown on the map? Finally, the link between database tables and UML diagrams is presented to the students. This approach is presented here also taking into account different tenure situations. Along with the didactic approach, we made an effort to ensure the datasets have a low entry barrier regarding financial costs and software availability.

KEYNOTE SESSION: LAND GOVERNANCE IN SUPPORT OF THE 2030 GLOBAL AGENDA

The global sense of urgency and the pressure on land have showed an increase of the relevance of surveying and geo-information towards the achievement of the SDG’s. Land governance is about the policies, processes and institutions by which land, property and natural resources are managed. Therefore, land governance plays a key role in achieving the SDGs where more than half of the goals are directly land related. In this regard, the global surveying profession holds an important position as the custodians of the people to land relationship. This session will unfold the concept of responsible land governance and the importance of including all land, people and land rights at a countrywide scale. Further, the session will align the concepts with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and how FIG supports the SDGs. The agenda provides us a roadmap towards a more sustainable world. Providing leadership as FIG, as professional and as a citizen on the SDGs will be of great added value. This session sets the scene how you can actively contribute to volunteering for the future for our profession, society and our planet at the same time.

KEYNOTE SESSION: MAPPING THE PLASTIC

The effects of plastic pollution on the Earth’s oceans are well documented, potentially catastrophic and increasing exponentially year on year. The UN Environment Programme has calculated that each year more than 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the oceans. Eighty per cent of all litter in our oceans is made of plastic and, without action, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish, by weight. This is an intolerable problem that needs immediate and far-reaching action to remedy. The surveying and spatial science profession agrees that this must stop.

FIG Working Group 4.3 - Mapping the Plastic has developed a world leading methodology to accurately extract floating plastic data (as small as 1.0 cm in length) from multi-spectral UAV images using artificial intelligence deep learning algorithms. Learn more about this exciting, ground breaking process will enable the accurate mapping and classification of floating plastic in near real time. The keynote will be chaired

European Geodesy Monument

In 1880, in the Theatre Square in front of the Jabłonowski Palace, a stone pillar was erected surrounded by an iron railing with a sign indicating the geographical location and the height above sea level and the level of Vistula. The Warsaw meridian passes through the top of the pillar and top of the clock tower of the Jabłonowski Palace, which served as point measurements.

This year the monument has been restored and changed into the European Geodesy Monument. Prof. Janusz Walo, President of the Association of Polish Surveyors (SGP) and Prof. Dr. Rudolf Staiger will represent FIG at the opening.

TS09A: FIG Academic Forum: VGGT and UNCCD COP 14
Commission: FIG & FAO
Chair: Dr. David Mitchell, Chair FIG Commission 2, Australia and Ms. Tea Dabrundashvili, Land Tenure Officer, FAO
Rapporteur: Mr. Charles Atakora, Germany

The AC-Forum is organised jointly by FIG and FAO.

How to integrate VGGT into the implementation of the United Nation Convention to combat desertification and to achieve land degradation neutrality - land-based solutions, involving Land Administration (LA)/Land Management (LM) instruments to combat climate change?

During the session it will be discussed how to apply integrated VGGT into the implementation of the Convention and land degradation neutrality - land-based solutions, involving LA/LM instruments to combat climate change.

In 2019, the 14th Conference of the Parties to the UNCCD adopted a landmark decision on land tenure. Decision 26/COP14 acknowledges the importance of secure land tenure for addressing desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD), and for improving human wellbeing and livelihoods. To date, the UNCCD stands as the only multilateral environmental agreement to explicitly focus on land tenure.

The session will start by a presentation of the linkages between VGGT and LDN and will present newly launched FAO UNCCD Technical Guide on the integration of the VGGT into the implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). The session will follow with a panel session focusing on unpacking on those aspects of implementation by stakeholders, including Academia and what future action plans and possible investments are most needed in their respective domain.

It is five years since the first Volunteer Community Surveyors were deployed globally and the Volunteer Community Surveyor Program has been continuing in earnest. With many tangible outcomes to report on, the ability for the FIG Young Surveyors Network to continue this outreach program is proven. In the third year of a four-year strategic plan (ending May 2024), the time is right to plan the next upscaling. Big picture thinking requires reflecting, courageous conversation, and debate. At this session you can expect all of these with contributions from GLTN and VCSP team members alongside other partners and mentors to the program. The outcomes of this healthy debate will be combined with feedback from a workshop held during the Young Surveyors Conference. Audience participation will be encouraged. [handouts]
