Is the Requirement for Point Cloud Classification Dead? Mobile LiDAR system (MLS) point cloud delivery requirements often call for the initial “classification” of the point cloud data; typically identified as Ground, Low Vegetation, Medium Vegetation and High Vegetation. In recent years, especially in the North American market, such classification requirements Read more…
Background Regardless of the platform – tripod laser scanning, mobile LiDAR, airborne LiDAR, or UAV image-based systems – the optimized organization and accessibility of project data contributes directly to its value. The ability to share and locate data efficiently and inexpensively facilitates quickly feeding downstream operations with high value models, Read more…
Bubbles, Loners and Slaves “It’s all about training!” Professor Topo here for my first blog of 2018–ok, ever–I’d like to start with some thoughts on support and the relationship we form with our customers. From the beginning we realized that to be successful we would need a different approach to Read more…
TopoDOT™ offers several tools designed specifically for structural monitoring, specifically vertical objects such as buildings or retaining walls. Recognizing that an effective wall monitoring program requires a field to finish process consistent with the program objectives, this document breaks down the monitoring operation into individual process components along with relevant Read more…
Abstract This document presents a concise, efficient and intuitive process for establishing LiDAR project data requirements, incorporating them into a request for proposal (RFP) and assessing the data against those requirements. An overview of LiDAR technology and data uncertainty provides insight into the reasoning behind point cloud and calibrated image Read more…
