This is not meant to be an exhaustive review of all the changes and advancements in lidar for the past 20 years, but rather some observations of a user of lidar technology. Lidar sensors in the early days were either set to first or last returns, then eventually allowed both first and last returns to be captured. Terrestrial lidar evolved into mobile mapping systems where advanced navigation systems allows data to be coll...
The geospatial industry is at an inflection point thanks in part to the power of LiDAR. In this talk, we will take the audience on a LiDAR journey: from acquisition, processing, analysis, to customer solutions. Data fusion and automation, powered by AI/ML will be key parts of this story.
The Canadian Geodetic Survey provides the Canadian Spatial Reference System Precise Point Positioning service (CSRS-PPP) to support clients requiring accurate GNSS information. The service is used internationally and over 1.2 million GNSS files are now process annually. The CSRS-PPP service has a kinematic mode that is known to support Lidar data collection. Some recent statistics on kinematic services will be presented and expo attendees are invited to provide fee...

This keynote presentation will revisit some of the fundamentals behind lidar that influence the precision and detail the systems produce. The laser ranging systems that are used strongly influence how the lidar system works and factors including: wavelength, beam divergence, pulse width and pulse repetition frequency will be reviewed and discussed. Most airborne topographic lidars use a 1064 nm Near-Infrared laser, while topo-bathymetric lidar systems deploy both a NIR laser and a green laser...
Flooding is the most costly natural disaster in Canada. Although flood hazard maps are essential for understanding a community’s risk to flooding, in Canada, many flood maps are not always available or up to date. High quality flood mapping that is current and accessible will help governments, communities, and individuals understand flood hazards and to implement effective mitigation strategies to reduce their impacts.Since 2021, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been leading the Fl...
