The time has come for the presentation of this year's mobile mapping system and SLAM system participants.Are you looking to collect more data, faster and accurately? Looking to buy a mobile mobile mapping or SLAM system and incorporate it into your workflows? If you are, you're considering tens of thousands to millions of dollars of investment. Do you know what's available to you? Are you sure that's all of them? Do the options available suit your needs? Is there candid data you can lo...
Traditional teaching methods in post-secondary often included using powerpoint presentations and writing on a white or blackboard. The newer generations of students have been exposed to different ways of learning and this requires instructors or teaching professors to change their way of presenting information to help the students learn it at a deeper level. Using a radical constructivism philosophy, the students are required to engage in the material in their own way, connect wit...

Space, the final frontier. Or is it? Although many people are fascinated by space, most are relatively unaware of how space technologies pervade their everyday life. From global positioning systems (GPS) and satellite communications to weather forecasting and monitoring the health of crops or the extent of sea ice, the standard of living we currently enjoy is fundamentally dependent on satellites and space technology. Space is becoming even more important in monitoring the changing climate, p...
Session Human footprint datasets for Canada: mapping and monitoring in support of land and resource managementHuman activities have disturbed biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecological processes over the last century. Given the growing trends of habitat loss and biodiversity decline, understanding patterns of human pressures has become a crucial element of conservation planning. In this context, cumulative pressure mapping is used to quantify the extent and intensity of multiple pressure...
For the last five years I have been providing reality capture services to documentary film producers. These series have included NatGeo's Buried Secrets of WWII, NatGeo's Drain the Oceans, Discovery's Expedition Unknown and Expedition Bigfoot. LiDAR, photogrammetry, thermography, magnetometry, and multi spectral imagine all provide context that professional storytellers (TV producers) crave. Join me as I share stories, successes, and failures of these unique service offerings.

This presentation details the results of a field study conducted in July in Santa Cruz, California, where thirteen participants employed terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to assess concrete tolerance on a construction site. The study aimed to establish the precision of TLS as a test method for verifying concrete tolerance in accordance with ASTM E-691-23. Additionally, it sought to quantify the bias of the TLS method by compar...
In this year's reality capture track, we have shown you the unprecedented value of reality capture systems when adopted into high-cost, high liability and fast pace environments, some of the problems these systems are solving today, and tools to help the effectiveness and quality of those solutions. However, our presenters will also have demonstrated how critical digital lifecycle planning can be to any asset, from pre-design through construction and lifetime operation right up to demolition,...
