A decade after completing its first shoreline mapping project, NV5 Geospatial has mapped over 10.5 million hectares of North America’s shoreline and riverine environments for more than 200 projects. These...

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has announced the introduction of Leica Chiroptera-5, the new high-performance airborne bathymetric Lidar sensor for coastal and inland water surveys. This latest mapping technology increases...

Bathymetric Lidar is a technique that is used to capture geospatial data of coastlines and waterbodies. The method has the potential to facilitate the fast and efficient creation of hydrographic data, and more...

Accurate bathymetric mapping of shallow areas is essential for many offshore activities. Through Structure from Motion (SfM) and Multiview Stereo (MVS) techniques, images can provide a low-cost alternative compared to Lidar...

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is working with 3D at Depth to develop a lidar system capable of measuring the ocean floor at resolutions of one centimetre. Considering it...

Bathymetric data in the shallow water zone is of increasing importance to support various applications such as safety of navigation, reconnaissance surveys, coastal zone management or hydrodynamic modelling. A gap...

With sea-level rise and increases in the severity of extreme natural events, there has been a renewed push to further our understanding of the coastal zone. Fundamental to understanding risk...
