Do Larger Format Sensors Increase Mapping Productivity? Hosted by Eric Andelin CP, Senior Workflow Advisor, SimActive with guest speaker, Dr. Mohsen Miri, Director of Global Strategic Partnerships, Phase One Register here: https://hubs.ly/Q035z4VL0 Webinar Announcement Aerial cameras and photogrammetry are proven mapping solutions on both drones and aircraft. Phase One offers a range of imaging sensors to support each of these platforms. Along with this, they have developed an image compression technology called IIQ to support the large amounts of data being captured. Processing such large files and datasets can be challenging and workflows can be simplified by taking advantage of the IIQ format. Dr. Mohsen Miri, Director of Global Strategic Partnerships, with Phase One, joins our host Eric Andelin to discuss camera technology and image processing workflows to meet today’s mapping needs. Specifically, you will learn about the following: • Determining your project requirements • Choosing the right imaging sensor • Understanding the impact of sensor size on processing • Simplifying your processing workflow

In a world where collaboration drives innovation, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our annual partners. Your unwavering support and dedication empower us to push boundaries and achieve new heights together. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.
