Registration is still open for this Free Webinar on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM ET. This event is sponsored by Inside Unmanned Systems, Applanix and Trimble. This live webinar has taken place and will soon be available on-demand.
LiDAR technology continues its emergence as an important tool for increased surveying and mapping accuracy and efficiency, even as providers await regulatory relief to allow them to fly beyond visual line of sight.
To explore LiDAR’s full potential, experts from four major technology providers – Trimble, Applanix, Microdrones and RIEGL—will detail the technical and business case for robust navigation in UAS-based mapping.
Their insights will include:
- The current status of BVLOS navigation and mapping: guidance, robustness, accuracy.
- Explaining the difference between traditional GPS and RTK positioning.
- What high-end LiDAR applications are available and what they can yield when integrated into specific airframes.
Use cases will put forward benefits and capabilities and enhance your ability to apply them.
