The session will focus on considerations for deploying Artificial Intelligence in professional practice; identifying potential landmines and working on solutions from a privacy-first perspective. The talk will include a high-level overview that underscores the fundamental components that encapsulate an AI derived “solution” and delve into a practical, real-world example being tested on an active project.Topics Covered:• An illustrated example of BIM model query using AI• AI too...
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.
In December 2023 a unique gathering of technology and talent gathered on Alcatraz to capture the entire island, inside and out, from the ground and from the air to assist the National Park Service understand the risks seal level rise and climate change present to the island. Join me and, perhaps, other members of the extended team as we share the technology, the experience, and the adventure of this unique experience.
Today, digital twins, autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) dominate the lexicon of the geomatics industry. These capabilities provide significant productivity advantages to our profession, but our domain content and knowledge are critical to their success. These tools will change the way we work and transform the industry. However, they will not replace us, but rather change our role. This is no different than when the EDM, total station, CAD, or GPS became part of our professional lives...
