Field case studies to cover conversational AI for cadastral map quality control, AR boundary visualization

South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will co-host the 49th Cadastral Seminar with the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corp. (LX) at Kintex in Goyang on Thursday.

Officials from central and local governments, academics, LX and the Spatial Information Industry Association will gather to share research findings and explore ways to improve the cadastral system and apply new technologies.

Particularly notable will be 11 research papers on integrating AI and large language models into cadastral administration to support data-driven decision-making and boost on-site operational efficiency.

Among the presentations, five stand out: a conversational AI-based quality management system for continuous cadastral maps, from LX's Daejeon, Sejong and South Chungcheong Province regional office; a generative AI approach to reforming cadastral administration, from Daejeon city; a proposal to apply machine learning to spatial and land-use analysis, from LX's North Jeolla Province regional office; a satellite positioning-based improvement plan for cadastral surveying, from the Seoul Metropolitan Government; and an augmented reality service for visualizing cadastral boundaries, from LX's Busan-Ulsan regional office.

A newly established category for private-sector and university participants this year will also feature fresh perspectives on the future of cadastral administration, including a proposal to revamp the curriculum for cadastral qualification exams from Shinhan University, and a plan to build a personalized pedestrian route guidance service from Cheongju University.

"Advances in cutting-edge technologies, including AI, are opening new opportunities for change in the cadastral and spatial information sector," said Lee Dae-seop, director general for land information policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. "I hope this seminar will serve as a platform for sharing diverse and creative ideas, and that the outcomes will drive innovative change in the cadastral system."

Meanwhile, the government has been pursuing digitalization to resolve discrepancies between actual land boundaries and paper cadastral maps. The AI, satellite positioning and augmented reality technologies discussed at the seminar are expected to serve as useful tools for improving the accuracy and usability of cadastral information.
