This article presents a novel methodological approach to understand and assess the suitability of airborne Lidar bathymetry for the automatic classification and mapping of the seabed. This solution allows recording of...

Since the explosion of Lidar over the past two decades, the use of point clouds in aerial mapping applications has become common these days. However, Lidar is not without its challenges. This article explores how colourized point clouds from photogrammetry can offer a value-adding alternative. Since the explosion of Lidar over the past two decades, the use of point clouds in aerial mapping applications has become common these days. However, Lidar is not without its...

Operations have commenced at 'Terrabyte' – one of Europe's largest scientific platforms for analysing Earth observation data. It is an initiative of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the Leibniz...

Remote sensing surveys in Antarctica based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’) have become a very important approach for a wide range of studies. Mapping free-from-ice-and-snow terrain and monitoring...

The National Land Survey of Finland (NLS) is a good example of how artificial intelligence (AI) is entering national mapping agencies. Approximately two years ago, NLS set up the Advanced...

‘Introduction to Pointcloudmetry’ is the title of the new book by Mathias Lemmens, former editor-in-chief of GIM International. Despite the in-depth text, it is a clearly and accessibly presented book...

A project in Aotearoa/New Zealand is combining the use of high-quality DEMs from satellite photogrammetric mapping (SPM) with Lidar technologies to model hazards such as snow avalanches. The resulting topographic...

It is important to keep a watchful eye on glacial melt to avoid the sudden collapse of glaciers leading to tragedy, such as happened at the Marmolada glacier in the...

“Think big for coastal mapping” is the foremost advice that Don Ventura of Teledyne Geospatial would impress upon agencies interested in bathymetric Lidar. “It’s a matter of efficiency of scale.”...
