Field Trials for CZMIL Bathymetric System24/05/2012 |
| Optech, Canada, has successfully completed field trials for the airborne Optech CZMIL Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar system. The CZMIL system underwent field trials and validation in coastal Mississippi and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The system flew over five sites ranging from urban areas to barrier island habitat. |

GPS-based ground control, Lynx vehicle-based Lidar data and sonar data were collected for comparison to CZMIL data, in partnership with the University of Southern Mississippi. In Fort Lauderdale, CZMIL flew offshore over the Navy’s South Florida Ocean Measurement Center (SFOMC). In addition to data acquisition over known targets, Optech collected sonar data over the project area for comparison to CZMIL. Optech CZMIL Lidar data, CASI-1500 hyperspectral data and Optech T-4800 metric frame camera imagery were collected over each site.
Max Elbaz, president of Optech said that with the successful completion of the field trials, the company is looking forward to delivering the first CZMIL system to JALBTCX within the next few weeks.
Optech CZMIL was designed by Optech for the U.S. Government under the auspices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX). It was built and tested by Optech with the assistance of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). Read more about: bathymetry data Lidar mapping Offshore sonar Supplier: Optech Inc.

Demo of RIEGL Airborne Bathy Scanner in Camcopter UAV
|
|
It's not an AUV but a UAV. So an unmanned vehicle, but in the air instead of underwater. This movie shows a demonstration of the bathymetric laser scanning capabilities of the RIEGL VQ-820-GU hydrographic airborne sensor in reality. For more information on the technical side, please see the news release on Hydro International.
