Trusted Crowd-Sourced Bathymetry has great potential

The Danish Geodata Agency and the Canadian Hydrographic Service have jointly prepared a whitepaper that envisions the creation of a modern infrastructure able to handle large amounts of Trusted Crowd-Sourced Bathymetry (TCSB) data.

Such a whitepaper comes from the identification of TCSB as a mature concept that can assume a critical role in preserving the safety of navigation, particularly in challenging areas to survey like the Arctic Region. Both agencies plan to develop a common approach for the continuous acquisition and automated processing of the data stream from a network of selected partners (the ‘trusted crowd’) into nautical charts and publications.
