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...

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...

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?

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...
