    #MemberGoodNews SurvTech Solutions recently completed a task order through USACE Jacksonville District supporting the Mogote Stabilization Project in Fort Buchanan, located in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. The work consisted of UAV LiDAR and Imagery acquisition, data processing, and ground survey support. This task order is part of a larger effort to determine current Mogote conditions and to provide a base for USACE design, volume analysis initiatives, and improvements in stabilizing the cliff face of the Mogote. #SurvTechSolutions #SurvTech

    Workshop Topic – 4 Tips to Success When Mapping with Drones Hosted by Eric Andelin CP, Senior Workflow Advisor, SimActive with guest speaker Gordon Morris, Owner of GMAPSNZ Register here: https://hubs.ly/Q02MYrLL0 With the relatively low costs involved in drone ownership, there has been an explosion in new mapping companies. As the value of drones for mapping begins to plateau on the hype curve, there is ample opportunity for those early adopters to share their knowledge helping others avoid the mistakes they may have made. This ranges from selecting the right drone for mapping to choosing the right processing software and tools for validation. Gordon Morris with GMAPSNZ in New Zealand joins us to discuss some of the pitfalls he’s seen and share his path to success. Specifically, attendees will learn about the following: • Planning for what you’re mapping • Choosing the right drone for the mission • Developing processing workflows • Understanding options in Correlator3D

    Spending Less Editing Time with Correlator3D Version 10.2 Register here 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q02Jjqbn0 Working with drones inherently means working with a large number of images, and as projects get larger, the amount of time spent editing outputs can increase exponentially. The same is true for traditional aerial mapping companies with large format cameras mapping even bigger projects. When creating mosaics, every input image will require a seamline within the overall mosaic, leaving many seamlines to be inspected. In many cases, a cursory review is all that is needed to ensure the mosaic is color balanced with no visible conflicts between seamlines. However, in some cases, additional editing may be required to meet user specific requirements. New Correlator3D version 10.2 incorporates a significantly more intuitive approach for seamline editing, making it easier and faster than before. The new version also includes new tools to manipulate point cloud data prior to export. Join us to learn more about these new tools and how they can save you time and money on your future mapping projects. Specifically, attendees will learn about the following: • Streamlining mosaic editing • Selecting specific ortho for inclusion • Editing point clouds prior to export • Performing quality control in real-time SimActive Inc.
