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...

The autonomous vehicle industry is in the process of developing high definition (HD) maps to serve as the reference for their real time navigation systems. By 2030 the HD maps market is expected to reach $16.9 billion per year. Currently there is no accepted standard for HD maps here in the U.S. and Canada. It is the Wild West with each vendor collecting their own data. This presentation will encourage the key players to develop a strategic plan that involve...
