Advances in marine & terrestrial scanning survey techniques together with precise inertial navigation sensors, multi-sensor acquisition systems and cost-effective UAS photogrammetry allow hydrographic surveyors to undertake high-precision marine asset integrity...

SHOM contributes routinely to the preparedness against coastal risks along French coastlines. For this purpose, regional to coastal digital elevation models are built for implementation in forecast systems against rapid...

In March 2015, Leica Geosystems conducted a series of demonstration surveys in Japan with the HawkEye III Airborne Topographic Bathymetric Lidar system. This demonstration was designed to prove the depth performance...

In June 2014, the Bureau of Economic Geology, a research unit at the University of Texas at Austin, was contracted to conduct an airborne bathymetric Lidar survey on the Alaskan...

The second year of the TUSExpo (The Unmanned Systems Expo) inaugurated a cooperation of the event organisers with the Hydrographic Society Benelux, hosting a dedicated workshop on unmanned vehicles for...

SHOM has recently produced nested multi-purpose digital elevation models (DEMs). The resolution ranges from down to 10 metres for topo-bathymetric coastal DEMs to 100 metres for regional bathymetric DEMs in...

AXYS Technologies has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the FLiDAR shares. Together, AXYS and FLiDAR will be a leading supplier of floating Lidar systems worldwide. AXYS has...

There are settings where an unmanned survey represents more than a safe, cost-effective alternative; it may be the only option. Capitol Lake in Olympia, WA, USA, is such a location....

OceanWise, UK, has released free, interactive Marine Mapping product demonstrators. Built using OpenLayers, the demos allow the user to pan around a defined area and get a feel for different...

Natural water colour measurements are based on multi- and hyper-spectral measurements performed in the field and from space. A simpler approach to determine the colour of natural waters is by...
