In the field of underground infrastructure inspection, technological advancements play a crucial role in ensuring accuracy, speed, and safety of operations. In this context, RinnoVision has established itself as a key reference thanks to its manhole inspection cameras. Designed to meet the specific needs of municipalities, utility companies, and construction contractors, the RV-MAX 360 and RV-PRO ...
The term LiDAR is short for light detection and ranging. This geospatial technique works by sending focused light beams and determining how long it takes for them to return after reflecting off an object, Figure 1.When a LiDAR laser beam hits an object like a tree or rock, the light is reflected and returned to the sensor. ...
The term LiDAR is short for light detection and ranging. LiDAR is a geospatial technology based on the emission and transmission of a focused light wave and measuring the time it takes to reflect from an obstacle. ...
Introduction What is a LiDAR Payload? LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging and has become an increasingly prevalent technology over the past decade. NASA and meteorologists have used LiDAR, now embedded within cell phones with the release of the iPhone 12 Pro. LiDAR is commonly used in surveying, mapping, and inspection applications where it can provide very detailed and accurate ...
André Jalobeanu, President of BayesMap, commented on this collaboration: "Working with Inertial Labs has been a remarkable experience. Our combined expertise in geospatial technology has allowed us to deliver a solution that is not only fast and automated but also sets a new standard in point cloud alignment and analysis." ...
GIS are an essential information-gathering tool for effective water-cycle management. The use of a geospatial framework, in combination with other tools, leads to infrastructure upgrades, cost savings, quality control, and improvements in water management and water-related assets. ...

Typically, this can involve a range of geospatial technologies such as satellites, drones, and light detection ranging (LiDAR), combined with Geographical Information System (GIS) software. ...
Experts at COP 27 have made apocalyptic forecasts of weather under climate change if urgent action is not taken. In South Asia, the anticipated ‘climate chaos’ is already a reality for many, with extreme droughts and floods increasingly affecting the region. According to the World Bank, losses will average USD 160 billion per year by the end of this decade if current trends continue. ...
In the second part of this series, we focus on: How Geospatial Technology can be used to aid peatland restoration; A detailed description of the GIS expertise and technologies offered by WKC’s team, with a particular focus on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and how data captured using drone technology can be used for analysis. ...
What to expect in this article; An overview of blanket bogs and why they are important; An outline of some of the threats facing this habitat; How WKC uses geospatial technology to aid in peatland restoration; Blanket Bog, or Peatland Restoration, as it is more commonly known is becoming increasingly common in areas where windfarm projects have been commissioned. ...
Due to the distance over which the project covered, social and biodiversity considerations were paramount to the success of the ESIA, as such the use of our geospatial solutions services... Read ...
Given our restricted mobility during the pandemic we have all got to know our local area in more detail than ever before. The pandemic has highlighted the need for access to open and green spaces and the importance of outdoor exercise, and many will have found a new level of understanding of their local area and walking routes. Awareness of our locality and nature has increased together with an ...

In another amazing implementation of drones for environmental protection, Oceans Unmanned and The Ocean Cleanup have joined forces to fight marine debris.Oceans Unmanned, Inc. is a non-profit dedicated to the use of drones for environmental protection: The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit founded in 2013 to deal with the problem of plastic and debris in the ocean. Now, the two will work together, ...
Advances in array tech data collection and software processing are mainstreaming the platform for use by a diverse range of professionals such as geomatics/geospatial surveyors, engineers, and geoscientists as the technology provides a comprehensive “view” of the underground. ...
The day one Keynote looked at bringing diverse resources together for hazard mitigation, and day two highlighted Scotland’s Geospatial initiatives. Other presentations given over the two days covered a wide range of subjects including: mapping volcanoes in Guatemala in 3D to help local awareness of hazards and risk, and Colouring London, a community mapping initiative to ...

This GIS app allows the public to search, visualize and explore geospatial data of all water locations on the map. Field Data Collection and Financial Liability of Water Consumption Project activities started on 23rd of January 2020 when the project manager held an orientation meeting with mobile data collectors, illustrating practical examples of how they will collect data to ...
This meant transcribing the part of data that was still in paper form as well as assembling the geospatial data. The Liburnian Waters were already using ArcGIS desktop solution, and this meant that the existing data needed to be transferred to the cloud in some way. ...
How Solcast creates solar GIS data Solcast operates our own unique algorithms and proprietary modelling framework for estimating solar irradiance via geostationary weather satellite data. This geospatial information systems based process has three major steps Detection of cloud cover and the characterisation of that cloud cover in terms of its impact on solar radiance. ...
