Today on #InternationalDayofForests, we want to show you one of the ways the ABMI is utilizing #lidar technology: to create a high-resolution vegetation inventory of linear features in the Richardson caribou range as part of Government of Alberta's #Caribou Habitat Recovery Program. Lidar stands for "light detection and ranging," and is collected using an aircraft with a laser and sensor attached to it that create high-resolution 3D-snapshots of the forests and the underlying surface it flies over. These 3D snapshots give us a picture of forest structure, composition of human footprint, and the state of restoration or regeneration of vegetation following human disturbance. Using #machinelearning with lidar data and #aerialimagery that has been ground-truthed, we can classify forest vegetation, and semi automatically map out seismic lines. Criteria from the provincial restoration framework are then applied to assign restoration status to seismic lines in order to determine appropriate management interventions. Incredibly, this method of seismic line mapping is up to 89% more effective than previously used methods. The ABMI is committed to partnering, using, and sharing lidar data to improve natural resource science and natural resource management. We operate a wide-area lidar data acquisition program and we are pleased to announce that some of the data collected through this program will be made publicly available in 2024.   Read our open lidar data announcement here: https://lnkd.in/guKrkkD9 For updates on the availability of this data and other ABMI data products, please subscribe to our Data Digest: https://lnkd.in/gkM39tWd Or you can always send us an email for more information at abmidata@ualberta.ca.

So we're technically a couple days late on #WorldLidarDay, but every day is lidar day at #KGS. #Lidar (light detection and ranging) is a type of laser scanning that allows geoscientists to make incredibly detailed 3D computer representations of Earth's surface, even in heavily forested areas. KGS researchers use statewide lidar data to identify landslides and sinkholes, develop geohazard susceptibility maps, improve flood modeling, advance resilience planning, and map surface expressions of faults in the New Madrid seismic zone. https://lnkd.in/e8gH-G9g? #geology #geoscience

Integrating Sensors on Exploration Projects – Example 1 I thought I would take my next few weekend posts before the field season kicks off in earnest to show some innovative examples of how to integrate different sensors into UAV surveys to build better exploration datasets. For this example, four different datasets were integrated to document and vector towards mineralization, including: 1.       Very high resolution UAV Photogrammetry colour imagery and elevation data. 2.      Lithological mapping 3.      Handheld VNIR-SWIR Mineral Alteration Data 4.      Magnetic Susceptibility data A clear association between mineral alteration species and mineralization were present in addition to a correlation to zones of magnetic destruction related to faulting present in the target area.

Our EAA Researchers take aquifer data collection to new heights at the EAA Field Research Park (EAA FRP) by collecting data using drones with LiDAR technology to detect changes over time on the property. GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a fundamental technology used by our agency to create, manage, analyze, and map data.

Orbits play a crucial role in capturing telecommunication towers for a number of reasons: 1. Comprehensive Coverage: Orbits ensure that all aspects of the tower are covered from multiple angles. This is essential for creating a detailed and accurate 3D model. By circling the tower at different heights and distances, you capture every component, from antennas and dishes to the tower structure itself. 2. Detail Capture: Close-up orbits (approximately 5 to 10 meters from the installation) are particularly important for capturing detailed features of the telecommunication towers. These details are necessary for inspection purposes, allowing for the identification of issues such as rust, structural integrity, and component placement without the need for physical tower climbs. 3. Overlap for Accuracy: The guideline recommends a minimum recommended overlap of 80% for all orbits. This high overlap is critical for photogrammetry software to accurately match points between images, which is essential for generating a detailed and accurate 3D model. The overlap ensures that enough common points are captured from different angles to construct a precise model. 4. Efficient Data Collection: Performing orbits is an efficient way to systematically cover the entire tower with the necessary detail and overlap. This method saves time and ensures quality data collection by systematically covering all necessary angles with an organized approach. 5. Versatility and Adaptability: Orbits can be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the tower and surrounding area. They offer flexibility in planning your flight path to ensure comprehensive coverage regardless of the tower's location and the complexity of its structure. In summary, orbits are essential for capturing telecommunication towers as they ensure comprehensive coverage, capture necessary details with high accuracy, and offer an efficient and flexible method for data collection. Following the best practices for orbit captures will significantly enhance the quality of the 3D models produced, making them invaluable tools for inspection, maintenance planning, and documentation. #ONE3D #AerialDataCollection #DataAccuracy #EnvironmentalMapping #PrecisionSurveying #digitaltwin #smartcity #3DCityModel #drone #dronepilot #dronemodelling #dronemapping #dronedatacapture #dronedeploy #djiterra #djidrones #photogrammetry #pointcloud #topography #cartography #terrain #precision #dronesurveying #infrastructures #inspection #mapping #photogrammetry #photogrammetrysoftware #innovation #technology

LiDAR technology is revolutionizing how we capture and analyze high-resolution spatial data, making it indispensable for various applications. I'm excited to share that I recently completed an online course on "LiDAR Data Processing and Applications" conducted by the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS). I successfully scored a #gradeA in the exam at the end of the course. This comprehensive course provided me with a solid understanding of LiDAR technology, its applications, and hands-on experience in processing and analyzing LiDAR data. Key takeaways: The underlying principles of LiDAR technology and its advantages over traditional surveying techniques. Practical experience in using various software tools for processing and visualizing LiDAR data. The wide range of applications of LiDAR technology in fields such as forestry, urban planning, and disaster management. I'm grateful to Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for this valuable learning opportunity, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to contribute to the growing field of LiDAR applications. #LiDAR #RemoteSensing #GIS #IIRS #SpatialData #DataAnalysis
