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...
The Canadian government first formally created LiDAR Guidelines in 2017. The document was updated in 2022 to Version 3.1. This session will review the Canadian Guidelines and compare them to the USGS LiDAR Base specification, updated in 2023. Included in the presentation will be:LiDAR for Flood Mapping and funding from the National D...
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...
Canada’s LiDAR Panel: Future Trends in Service and Tech, is a deep dive into the evolving landscape of LiDAR technology in Canada. Our panel of experts will explore cutting-edge developments in LiDAR, focusing on new trends in service delivery and technological advancements. Expect insights into the integration of AI, enhancements in data processing, and future applications in sectors like urban development and environmental management. This session promises to equip attendees with a forward-...

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...
