Point Clouds – What’s the point?

Point Clouds from..

• Lidar Data sources are the growing accurate data of choice

• Photogrammetry remains quick and inexpensive

• Drones are on their way

• Data volumes – MASSIVE

• No. of applications driven from this data – HUGE

• Industries benefit from this data – GROWING

The Intergraph Portfolio picks up the data processing and management

process at all levels.

Focus here is on IMAGINE.

• Data accuracy will continue to increase (improved GPS)

• Volume will grow substantially

• Expectation of access to and ability to work with this data will increase

• Its less than 8 years since the first Lidar data was collected by OSi in Ireland

• Current coverage is 45% with 30% processed to DTM

Applications that will emanate from the accurate data

• Flood Modeling – Look at Fluvial, River or Sewer Floods

• Vegetation Extraction – Powerlines near trees

• Tree Crown extraction – Subsidence Models

• Line of Sight – Security Services, Telecoms

• Light Modeling – Local Authorities

• Buildings Heights – Gas Pressure, Water Pressure

• 3D Flythroughs – New Developments , Public Consultations
