Times have changed - dynamic mobile mapping is now more essential than ever to get the job done quickly and accurately. Join keynote speaker Marek Koltun LIVE as he discusses mobile mapping and its place as standard equipment in the laser scanning toolbox. Learn how scanning with a wearable device like NavVis VLX can significantly benefit your projects - big or small.
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) based systems have proved their value for rapid mapping of complex environments, but achieving survey grade accuracy and repeatability has been a challenge in some environments. Surveyors were faced with a compromise between fast data capture and data accuracy, depending on the job requirements.This is no longer the case with Emesent's Automated Ground Control feature, which enhances t...
Case study outlining the challenges, solution and final result associated to a complex commercial renovation project.
Use case outlining the challenges, solution and result associated to a Lidar data acquisition using drone and vehicle.
Multi-beam bathymetric surveys are used to gather detailed information about the features on the sea, river or lake bed by measuring multiple depths from a transducer array at high resolution. The result is a highly accurate 3D point cloud representation of the sea floor – similar to aerial LIDAR.
In recent years the geospatial drone market has expanded dramatically. Drone based UAS (LiDAR) and UAV (Imagery) systems vast differences make it difficult to choose one over the other. This presentation aims to explore their differences from the point cloud processing aspect. We will examine the pros and cons of each system for practical survey and mapping applications such as topographies, bare earth, volumetrics, etc. Learn how data accuracy, density, intensit...
The autonomous vehicle industry is in the process of developing high definition (HD) maps to serve as the reference for their real time navigation systems. By 2030 the HD maps market is expected to reach $16.9 billion per year. Currently there is no accepted standard for HD maps here in the U.S. and Canada. It is the Wild West with each vendor collecting their own data. This presentation will encourage the key players to develop a strategic plan that involve...
A distinguished panel of 3D laser scanning industry veterans will be offering examples of some of their more difficult projects, along with the best practices they applied and the lessons they learned. This will be one of the highlights of the event.

Learn more about the transportation industry's most productive software solution for extracting topography, 3D models, GIS Assets, and more from drone (UAV) point cloud data. We will demonstrate how TopoDOT®'s comprehensive tool suite allows you to establish a highly productive process to extract break-lines, surface models and assets in a CAD environment. Learn how high quality data promote feature extraction automatization and productivity.
Lidar! This ubiquitous 3D technology is transforming how we visualize, map and analyze the world around us. What is it and how does it fit into the remote sensing toolbox? This presentation provides an overview of the core advantages of lidar data and an overview of the latest sensor solutions from RIEGL.

Airborne Topo-Bathymetric Lidar Combined with Thermal Imaging for Fish Habitat Studies in RiversResearchers at Nova Scotia Community College’s Applied Geomatics Research Group have been using the airborne Leica Chiroptera 4X topo-bathymetric lidar sensor for nearly a decade and have surveyed coastal, riverine and lake environments. They have concentrated on mapping submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). Topo-bathy lidar data of rivers provides an opportunity for improved flood hazard h...
As traditional infrastructure design methods migrate from 2D to 3D modeling, LiDAR data acquisition continues to present an opportunity to improve the base modeling process. This presentation will show how TopoDOT can be used to extract DGN vector data from point clouds to improve the quality of digital as-built base models which enable better transportation 3D design processes like Bentley’s ORD.
Canada has just experienced a record wildfire season with devastating impacts. Public safety and damage mitigation is a priority for all impacted by these disasters. From mapping vegetation, analyzing slope stability, planning fire breaks, qualitfiying wood debris and fuel loads, how does LiDAR play a role in meeting post wildfire needs?
Come sit down with us as we outline our ambitious initiative, how you might help, and how you will benefit regardless. Oh, how the world is changing. Technology is progressing faster than ever before; robotics and geomatics have become fused together in revolutionary technology that is sweeping industry for all the right reasons. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) isn't just knocking on the geomatics industry door, it kicked it in! Machine Learning and computer vision ar...

The United States’ National Geodetic Survey (NGS) plans to modernize their National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) in 2025, including adopting a new dynamic geometric reference (the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022)) and a new geoid-based height system (the North American-Pacific Geopotential Datum of 2022 (NAPGD2022)). To ensure continued geospatial referencing compatibility, the Canadian Geodetic Survey (CGS) plans to modernize the Canadian Spatial Reference Sy...
