Locate23

Adelaide Convention Centre – Adelaide SA, Australia

Join us at Locate23, on May 10th-11th, in Adelaide, Australia. Stop by Booth 15 to learn more about the latest tools and features in Global Mapper Pro, Global Mapper Mobile, and Geographic Calculator. Talk to one of our team members to get a demonstration of how our applications work and learn more about our products.

Also, please make sure to attend our session: Creating a Digital Twin with UAV-collected Data

A digital twin, or the detailed 3D rendering of a real-world study area, is often the goal when collecting and processing geospatial data. The rapid emergence and proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones for lidar or image collection continue to make the creation of digital twin models consisting of 3D data more accessible. Beginning with a camera-equipped UAV for data collection and GIS software for photogrammetric processing, GIS analysts can collect data and carry through the process to create a digital twin with image, point cloud, and mesh layers. From these derivatives of the geotagged UAV-captured images, further analysis can be executed with steps to generate terrain and surface models, extract key features, and overlay additional data for a more detailed 3D rendering of the intended area.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Understand the data requirements for UAV-collected that will be used in a photogrammetric reconstruction. 
2. Understand the value of photogrammetrically derived 3D data and how it can be classified and edited. 
3. Understand how additional data layers can be created from the photogrammetrically derived 3D data. 

We look forward to seeing you at Locate23!
