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...
Traditional LiDAR acquisition platforms are commonplace in the industry and can be relied upon for efficient data acquisition for most relatively flat and uniform project areas. However, when multisource data acquisition is required or acquisition is impacted by complex corridors, excessive terrain, low-hanging clouds or airspace limitations, alternative approaches are required. This presentation will highlight some of NV5’s innovations to address these challenges including the Comprehensive ...
AI-driven mapping revolutionizes the use of LiDAR and photo datasets, addressing challenges like underutilized data and the complexity of heavy datasets. By transforming big data into lightweight, accessible information, XEOS offers practical solutions for municipalities and private companies. Through a step-by-step breakdown of the AI mapping process and product demonstrations, attendees will discover how this innovation enables smarter decision-making and brings more value to LiDAR data.
