Bethesda, MD – As a result of intense interest in the future of the LAS format, the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) has decided to add a LiDAR session to the program for its upcoming ASPRS UAS Technical Demonstration and Symposium in Reno, NV. The LiDAR Sidebar will take advantage of the many experts that will be attending the conference to discuss the new compressed data formats that are attracting attention.

The session will take place at 6 pm on Wednesday 30 September 2015, shortly after the main conference closes. The format being planned is a panel discussion, with each topic introduced briefly by an invited expert, followed by discussion, where users of the various formats are welcome to express their thoughts. Likely topics include: the future of LAS; the rise of compressed LiDAR formats (multiple topics); OGC Point Cloud Domain Working Group; user expectations of LiDAR deliverables; applicability of LAS to terrestrial LiDAR, mobile mapping systems and the relationship to ASTM E57.

Please be sure to check out the full program for the second annual ASPRS UAS MAPPING 2015 RENO. Even if you cannot attend the one-day UAS Data Processing Workshop on Monday Sept 28 will want to arrive by 6PM in order to attend the welcoming social, sponsored by DroneDeploy.

ASPRS-SPONSORED UAS DATA PROCESSING WORKSHOP – REGISTRATION OPEN

Posted on July 20, 2015 by uasreno • Tagged ASPRS, asprs conference, ASPRS UAS Symposium, Becky Morton, change is in the air, Conference Program, conference registration, drone conference, Drones, Eldorado Hotel, FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, Jeffrey Miller, Nevada test site, suas news, symposium, UAS, Uas conference, UAS demo, uas symposium, uas workshop, UAV, uav conference

Following on the huge popularity of last year’s workshop, the second annual UAS Mapping Reno workshop for small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) will be held on Monday, September 28^th at the Eldorado hotel. The workshop begins at 8:30 AM and concludes at 5:00 PM. The registration fee is $95 and includes lunch.

The workshop is aimed at providing prospective sUAS mapping users a very practical overview of the hardware and software components that comprise a metric data collection and processing system. The workshop will address topics such as:

An overview of sUAS hardware
Camera technology
Safety
Project geometric control and accuracy
Mission Planning
Flying a mission
Post-flight QC
Data processing
Data exploitation

Participants will be provided trial licenses of data processing and exploitation software as well as sample data sets. These licenses will be valid for several weeks following the event, allowing users to practice the techniques learned in the workshop.

Rather than a generalized approach to the topics, the workshop will use concrete examples of hardware and software. A realization of the PX4 autopilot and associated Mission Planner software will be presented as the control system. Discussions of GNSS hardware will cover current sUAS positioning products on the market. The software processing workflows will employ ubiquitous point cloud generation tools such as Pix4D and PhotoScan. At the conclusion of the day, participants will have the answers to questions such as:

Are my projects suitable for sUAS mapping?
Which is better – fixed wing or rotorcraft?
How do I safely operate an sUAS?
Does camera type matter?
Can I achieve my accuracy target with sUAS technology?
What are the options for geometrically controlling a project?
What software suite is required to obtain my desired products?

Please join us for this fast paced, informative session. Register Here.
