Fundamental elements of a LiDAR scanning system
Jim van Rens, Riegl USA Inc
This workshop will provide a broad view of the complete system and processing requirements and will cover the fundamental elements of a LiDAR Scanning System.
LiDAR – End-users achieving value after delivery
Richard A Vincent C.P, President/COO, Virtual Geomatics
The big state-wide LiDAR project is complete. Data has been acquired, processed and delivered. Now that the dust has settled, how do the data consumers (stakeholders/end-users) that commissioned the LiDAR project extract maximum value from that investment? From data assessment, to data management, to data dissemination, to data exploitation - this workshop focuses on solutions and workflows for the data consumer to achieve value from the delivered LiDAR data.
High-volume orthophoto production using simultaneously acquired LiDAR data and aerial imagery
Thomas Widmer, INPHO GmbH
This workshop will focus on an efficient workflow for fast orthophoto production and will show how current software and hardware technologies can be used for processing many thousands of images within a short time, applying distributed processing and fully automated data handling.
Comprehensive overview of LiDAR operations
Rob McCarthy, Fugro Geospatial Services, John Chance Land Surveys
A fast-track introduction to what aerial LiDAR can do for you in mapping data acquisition.
LiDAR basics
Jennifer Whitacre, National Account Manager – LiDAR Solutions, MJ Harden Associates
This workshop will help the end user better communicate what they want to the vendor: what information is needed from the end user to properly price and plan a LiDAR project; how data accuracies and LiDAR point spacings can affect pricing and how they relate to contour intervals; an overview of various standards and specifications such as FEMA Guidelines; review standards and value added products, how ‘clean is clean’ when it comes to data editing; assist the client plan for the data once it is delivered.
MPiA: Making it work for you
Ron Roth, Leica Geosystems, Inc.
Multiple Pulse in Air (MPiA) technology is now mainstream and is providing significant increases in data acquisition efficiency. This workshop will provide an overview of MPiA technology, its theory, benefits and applications.
Top 10 LiDAR data issues – A QA/QC Primer
Bill Emison, MARS® Product, Manager, Merrick & Company
This presentation will focus on the analysis of LiDAR and the common technical issues that face many first time buyers of an airborne data collection. Will include: identifying typical data quality issues involved with the acquisition, processing and derivative product generation of LiDAR datasets; discussion of accuracy specifications (vertical and horizontal); quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) processes that can assist with the user’s acceptance of a project’s data deliverables.
Recent advancements in tight integration of GNSS post-processed virtual reference station with inertial data for increased accuracy and productivity of airborne LiDAR mapping
Joe Hutton, Applanix Corporation
Differential GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation is a well proven technology used to directly georeference LiDAR point clouds collected in mobile applications. This workshop will introduce recent advancements in GNSS virtual reference station and inertial post-processing that together increase the overall efficiency, reliability and accuracy of mapping with LiDAR.
LiDAR basics 101: The advantages to LiDAR peripheral sensor integration
Optech Incorporated
Data fusion and multiple data end-products are fast becoming the deliverables of choice for many end-users. Therefore, there is often a requirement for more than simple elevation data. This presentation will provide the attendee a basic overview of the common peripheral technologies available to lidar integrators, their resultant data end-products, and associated applications.
An overview of LiDAR data processing
Lewis Graham and Martin Flood, GeoCue Corporation
This workshop will demonstrate processing LiDAR data from the point of geometric correction to a ground-classified output grid. This flow will include checking the geometric accuracy and spatial coverage of LiDAR data, tiling the project into chunks compatible with processing tools, automatic ground classification, QC of results, manual editing, geoid adjustment and gridding of data.
Things to consider when contracting LiDAR services
Kermit M Lewis Jr and Bernard Osiemi, 3001 International Inc
Following basic LiDAR methodologies, this workshop will review technical issues that clients must consider when contracting LiDAR services. In addition, this workshop will review information that clients must provide to contractors and how that information helps to create a competitive price.
