Seminar description
The Positioning Australia program is a $225 million commitment from the Australian Government to provide 10 cm accurate positioning to all Australians. This is a significant improvement from the 5-10 m accuracy you can currently achieve using GPS enabled devices.
In anticipation for the growing use and reliance on positioning technology, Geoscience Australia has led the upgrade of Australia’s Geospatial Reference System (collection of datums, reference frames, models, infrastructure and standards) to ensure Australian’s can maximise the benefits of precise positioning.
This talk will explain why the Australian Geospatial Reference System is the foundation for the Positioning Australia program.
