Welcome to the first July issue of LiDAR News. As you are reading this I will be returning from the Esri Survey Summit and User Conference, which I can report had over 500 attend the joint conference with ACSM - the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. I think the BIG news was Esri will have native support for point clouds in ArcGIS 10.1. Look for it in Q1 2012.
I want to also make note of the recently published premier edition of LiDAR Magazine. Our plan is to publish this quarterly for this year. If you have any ideas on articles for the next edition please let me know.
The featured video in this issue is a short one, but it is so impressive in terms of the quantity of data that I wanted to highlight Mobile Mapping in Korea. The data was being collected at a rate of 1.3 million points per second!
Michael Olsen gets the Spotlight with an important notice about the newly formed ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) subcommittee - Spatial Data Applications and a LiDAR workshop they are sponsoring.
Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne explains how the need to process LiDAR data caught the leading GIS software companies by surprise. John Russo provides his insight on the challenges of pricing a building documentation project.
Our final article from Michael Raphael at Direct Dimensions highlights this firm's extensive experience in scanning and modeling aircraft where every surface detail counts.
The Resource Directory listings are expanding. Take a few minutes to list your firm in our Resource Directory, and don't forget to send us your white papers and product videos as well. We want to help you to be noticed.
Please let me know how we can be of service to you, and also please encourage your colleagues to sign up for the newsletter here.

Laser Scanning Aircraft for CFD Analysis: Michael Raphael – Last month’s contribution to LiDAR News featured our use of 3D laser scanning technology on the original Wright Brothers 1903 airplane to help NASA and other experts figure out how the Wright Bros. developed flight without the use of modern day computers. This month we come full circle and discuss our use of ...

Topcon's IP-S2 Mobile Mapping System overcomes the challenges of mapping 3D features at a high level of accuracy. Accurate vehicle positions are obtained using three technologies: a dual frequency GNSS receiver establishes a geospatial position; an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) provides vehicle attitude; and connection to the vehicle CAN bus or external wheel encoders obtains odometry information.
