Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) based systems have proved their value for rapid mapping of complex environments, but achieving survey grade accuracy and repeatability has been a challenge in some environments. Surveyors were faced with a compromise between fast data capture and data accuracy, depending on the job requirements.This is no longer the case with Emesent's Automated Ground Control feature, which enhances t...

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.

Lidar!  This ubiquitous 3D technology is transforming how we visualize, map and analyze the world around us.  What is it and how does it fit into the remote sensing toolbox?  This presentation provides an overview of the core advantages of lidar data and an overview of the latest sensor solutions from RIEGL.
