Our lab was invited to host the ISPRS WG IV/7 (Geo-Data Management) Webinar on January 10, 2022. The session introduced core concepts of Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS), shared our research progress, and demonstrated a live example using the PYXIS DGGS platform.
During the webinar, I presented an overview of my research on:
“Quantization, Analysis, and Application of Terrain Data Modeled in Discrete Global Grid Systems.”
This included methods for converting terrain data into DGGS, running analytical operations such as slope and aspect calculations, and exploring use cases in environmental modeling.
Webinar Overview
Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) are gaining attention as a powerful framework for geospatial modeling, analysis, and visualization. Recognized as the spatial backbone of next-generation Digital Earth systems, DGGS enable more precise and scalable ways to organize and reference geospatial data.
This webinar covered:
- An introduction to DGGS concepts
- Overview of Canadian DGGS initiatives
- Research activities and outcomes from our group at the University of Calgary
- A live demonstration using the PYXIS DGGS platform
