GEOCOM AT THE SIRGAS 2021 SYMPOSIUM

GEOCOM's presentation at the SIRGAS 2021 Symposium. “USE OF SIRGAS WEEKLY COORDINATES: A VISION FROM THE CHILEAN INDUSTRY”

In recent years, geomatics has experienced significant growth in the Chilean industry, positioning itself as a transversal discipline, expanding into new areas, and delving into complex applications that meet the demands of the engineering world. In this latter point, an important aspect that has been a constant topic of discussion is the process traditionally known as georeferencing, which allows for the absolute positioning of spatial entities within a given reference framework. In the case of Chile, the georeferencing or linking of products derived from Geomatics to different SIRGAS realizations is addressed through national reference networks (SIRGAS-N), which can correspond to passive or active networks associated with a realization. An alternative to this is to use the weekly SIRGAS solutions established for a series of active GNSS stations located in Chile and in nearby Southern Cone countries. In this context, GEOCOM's experience is presented, demonstrating that it is possible to densify geodetic positions, based on SIRGAS weekly coordinates, for engineering purposes.
