Remotely situated in the northern Atlantic Ocean, roughly equidistant from Scotland, Iceland and Norway, the Faroe Islands form a rugged and rocky archipelago. The cool and cloudy weather, with strong...

Geospatial mapping specialists and technology from GeoSLAM have been involved in a project to map the Lombrives cave in southern France. The Human Adaption Institute conducted a pioneering isolation e...

UAVs with a higher level of autonomy can make civil engineering inspections safer, faster and more accurate, plus they support the monitoring of infrastructural changes over time. The increasing devel...

Hydrospatial could be described as that portion of geospatial knowledge infrastructure that addresses the hydrosphere, and hydrospatial technologies support navigation, economic development, stability...

Time issues associated with processing point clouds are hugely frustrating, but they are nothing new. And the shifting boundaries mean that we’re destined to forever play the waiting game, according...

A new basemap combines 360-degree aerial imagery and precise location data, providing an immersive new way to view and experience the built world from every cardinal direction. Basemap imagery offerin...

In orthophoto projects of dense urban areas, true orthophotos are preferred over traditional orthophotos because they put building roofs into the correct horizontal position. However, there is still a...

A new algorithm has been developed that automatically identifies architectural elements and creates 3D models of building interiors. Over the last decade, the demand for digital twins has increased in...

After a slow, decades-long start, the digitization of construction has finally gained a firm foothold. While it is true that digital models are often used – and sometimes required – to visualize h...

RIEGL tested the performance of its topo-bathymetric airborne laser scanning system in a transition zone context along the French Mediterranean coast. Initially planned as a UAV survey, tests were con...

XOCEAN recently completed 35 cable inspection surveys using a combination of Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) between the Scottish mainland and Western Isles. There ...

As the demand for elevation data continues to rise, it is important that users match the level of reliability, accuracy and resolution of the data to their specific application to arrive at an appropr...

This article presents a participative geomatics project with the goal of increasing southern Québec’s coastal communities’ ability to map and monitor changes in their coastal environment. Capacit...

DJI recently introduced the P4 multispectral, a high-precision unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or ‘drone’) which exploits the integration of multispectral cameras to facilitate agricultural and envir...

As geospatial professionals, we pride ourselves on being led by objective data that we can verify and trust. But like all humans, even we are not immune to bias, according to James Kavanagh. I was in...
