International light detection and ranging (LiDAR) 10 mapping forum
The ILMF Conference agenda will be delivered by representatives of the major global Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system manufacturers, service providers and government and national user organizations. Technical papers examining the latest developments in LiDAR technology to reporting on recent projects from around the world, reflect the increasing use of LiDAR for fast, high-resolution and cost-effective data gathering in map making for urban areas, rural asset management and along flood plains and the coastal zone.
This forum will examine developments in LiDAR technology and recent projects worldwide. Sessions devoted to the Haiti earthquake will examine how LiDAR is being used to assess damage and future earthquake probability. Other sessions will include the use of LiDAR in coastal mapping, FEMA RiskMAP, mobile mapping, and erosion assessment.
