Poster Presentation "Generation of High Resolution DSM Usin UAV Images"Nepal Flying Labs
UAV images were used to generate high resolution digital surface models (DSMs). PIX4D software produced the most accurate DSMs, with errors less than 2 cm compared to ground control points. For areas with repetitive patterns or vegetation, classical photogrammetry algorithms in LPS performed poorer than computer vision approaches in Agisoft and PIX4D. While UAV photogrammetry provides a low-cost method for creating very high resolution datasets of small areas, specialized workstations and accurate ground checks are needed for processing images and assessing accuracy.

The document describes tests of a low-cost geo-referenced imaging system mounted on a helicopter. The system captures GPS-tagged still images and video for documentation of shoreline erosion in the Arctic Ocean region of Alaska. Over 5,000 still images were captured during helicopter tests. The system will be further developed to publish sensor data from Alaska to a database and website in Cincinnati, allowing interoperable access to location-aware imagery and data.
Lidar technology uses laser pulses to measure distances to the ground and other surfaces. When the pulses return, the time of flight is used to calculate distances and generate precise 3D maps. Lidar data can be processed to classify points and extract terrain models ignoring vegetation and buildings. This allows generating high-resolution digital terrain models and other products for applications like urban planning and flood modeling. The document describes a 2014 lidar and image acquisition project over Cotonou, Benin where calibration points were surveyed and various terrain products were created from processing the lidar data.
The summary discusses the RMUASP April Virtual Meetup agenda and announcements. It mentions that several in-person events were postponed due to COVID-19, including the Spring UAS Round Up in April and Xponential in May.

Centre of Geographic Sciences Remote Sensing Field Camp 2015COGS Presentations
Students from the 2015 Centre of Geographic Sciences Remote Sensing Field Camp will collect aerial photographs of the COGS grounds using GoPro cameras to create an orthomosaic with 50cm resolution by May 22nd. They will also collect LiDAR scans of Sinclair Inn in Annapolis Royal using a Faro scanner to create a georeferenced point cloud and 3D model with 10cm point density accuracy. The document outlines the preparation, data collection, post-processing, and validation steps for both the aerial photography and Faro scanning projects.
With the advent of higher powered 3D scanners comes the challenge of dealing with the dense point cloud data sets. Direct Dimensions uses a wide variety of 3D scanning equipment to capture the as-built shape of existing objects. The common problem with all of these projects is the need to proces the point cloud data.
While applications fall generally into either reverse engineering and inspection, both directions present challenges for processing the large data sets efficiently, quickly, and properly. This presentation will focus on an overview of the software tools available commercially that address these problems with a comparison of the various workflows, strategies, and results that one can expect from the various solutions.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Precision MappingUAS Colorado
Presentation by Renee Walmsley, Remote Sensing Program Manager at Tetra Tech, for the August 16, 2017 Rocky Mountain UAS Professionals Meetup at the Esri Broomfield office.
Sentinel-1 satellites, ESA’s Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mission, provide continuous data from the Earth surface in weekly to biweekly time intervals. This data availability provides an unprecedented opportunity to continuously monitor the Earth surface motion in areas prone to geohazards; such as regions of high seismic and volcanic activities, with the end goal of supporting the Early Warning Systems. However, the great challenge is to derive insights from Terabytes of satellite image sequences, in a computationally-efficient and time-critical manner. We’ve risen to this challenge by designing innovative signal processing and deep learning algorithms to efficiently mine this invaluable wealth of data. This talk gives on overview of our designed solutions, as well as a demonstration of these solutions in the Tectonic and Volcanic monitoring of South America (TecVolSA) project.
This document summarizes a project investigating the use of GIS software for weather forecasting applications. The project was completed for Scotia Weather Services Inc., which provides weather forecasting services and wants to use GIS to analyze how weather events could impact the power grid. The project used QGIS and ArcGIS to process wind speed data into maps of wind gust speeds at power line pylon heights. The outputs identified regions where wind speeds exceeded thresholds that could affect transmission lines. While QGIS is free and open source, the analysis found ArcGIS scripts were more stable and better documented than PyQGIS scripts.

Laser scanning is a technique that can quickly and accurately capture existing structures and objects with a high level of detail. It works by sending out laser beams and measuring the distance, horizontal and vertical angles of reflected beams to calculate XYZ coordinates of up to 1 million points per second. Multiple scans may be required to fully capture the object or structure, and they are then registered into a single point cloud. This scan data can be used to build a Building Information Model (BIM) in Autodesk Revit, with the scan-to-BIM process involving scanning the site, cleaning up the point cloud data, and constructing a model from the point cloud.

This document proposes a cloud-based approach for nationwide census projects using an "as a service" model. Key aspects of the solution include:
1) Using elastic cloud services to handle the massive IT requirements of censuses, which typically involve short periods of heavy workload every 10 years.
2) Employing a holistic multi-tier architecture with real-time and batch analytics capabilities to enable near real-time results and monitoring of field workers.
3) Optimizing costs by paying for exact consumption rather than maximum estimated usage, and gaining benefits like scalability, business agility, and optimized total cost of ownership.

This document discusses using cloud computing for CCTV video surveillance. Some key points:
- Cloud infrastructure reduces the need for in-house IT resources and provides scalability, reliability and cost savings compared to on-premise systems.
- However, storing and transferring raw CCTV video data to the cloud is not viable due to the huge size of video files and bandwidth limitations.
- Instead, "smart cameras" can analyze video locally to extract metadata and detect meaningful events, only transferring thumbnail images or short clips to reduce transmitted data.
- This approach filters data similar to how particle physics experiments filter collision data from the LHC to identify rare events like the Higgs boson. Centralized cloud indexing and
Linköping University has several student kitchens all over its campuses where students are given a possibility to warm their food. Critics claim that there are too few student kitchens and that the existing ones are usually overcrowded. That all kitchens are overcrowded at the same time has not been confirmed by sample inspections. One standing hypothesis is that students do not know where all the kitchens are, nor do they want to risk going to a kitchen in another building in case it is full as well.
The aim of this project is to develop a system that will provide the students with information regarding student kitchen usage. The system uses an computer vision approach, estimating the number of people currently using the kitchens. The system was developed using C++, the OpenCV library and the Qt5 library.

This document discusses the Newcastle University's experience using cloud computing to run flood modeling simulations. It describes how the cloud was used to access more computing resources than they could purchase themselves to run large-scale simulations of entire cities. The document outlines technical issues addressed around software compatibility and data transfer speeds. It also discusses political issues within the university around spending funds on external cloud resources rather than local hardware. Overall preliminary results showed the cloud was able to run large simulations at lower costs than local hardware could provide.

5. Point Cloud Generation
• Because of the nature of the technology that the ZEB1 mobile
laser scanner uses, that being SLAM – Simultaneous Localization
and Mapping, the raw data captured needs to be processed on
GeoSLAM’s intelligent point cloud generation servers.
• A point cloud data generation fee is then paid before the data
download
– Uses GeoSLAM Data Processing Credits
– 1 Credit = 2m3 of unique trajectory walked while scanning
– Multiple passes through same credit cube will only consume 1 credit
6. 1 Credit Unit = 2m3
1 Credit Unit = €0.40
Ex. 198m scan = 99 credits = €39.60
Data Processing Calculation
10 000 credit
bundle = $1,550
That’s 20 000 m
or 20 km of
scanning
7. GeoSLAM Uploader App
• Upload the RAW scanned data onto the processing server:

Anglo American platinum mine’s declines and tunnelling.
• Total length of scanning – 18 940m ; amount of scans 95
16. Precise Offsetting
• Do a quick scan underground, and then do your offsetting measurements easily and
accurately above ground. Reducing the safety risks of surveyors time spent underground.
17. Roof bolts Support Inspection
• Audit your hanging wall supporting roof bolts
21. Forestry Management (cont.)
