GIM - Issue 5 - 2025

In this issue of GIM International, we explore a wide range of topics, including an interview with none other than Pete Kelsey. Few people have pushed the boundaries of spatial data, reality capture and 3D storytelling quite like he has. We also take a closer look at how advances in aerial mapping have played a central role in driving this transformation, and we examine – through a series of case studies – how these technologies continue to shape today’s smart cities. In addition, we highlight various forms of mobile mapping in practice, from handheld mobile laser scanning (HMLS) to vehicle-based mobile laser scanning, and we consider how geospatial data underpins the rise of digital construction. And much more!
