Train Accident Site From Space with Radar07/12/2009 |
|
| During the 4th International Conference “Earth from Space – the Most Effective Solutions” in the Moscow Region “Vatutinki” recreation center the representatives of the Italian e-GEOS company spoke about the experience of satellite-based monitoring of emergencies in Russia. e-GEOS company took the images of the “Nevsky Express” train crash site using Cosmo-SkyMed radar satellites by the request from ScanEx RDC. Within few days after the crash on 27th November, the European part of Russia was mostly covered with clouds, thus preventing to use optical sensors to acquire images of the emergency spot. Highly-detailed radar data in their turn enable to carry out all-weather monitoring, regardless of clouds. | |

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
