Expectations for geospatial data in the AEC industry have changed rapidly in recent years. Survey teams are no longer simply documenting existing conditions. They are delivering highly accurate digital environments that engineers, architects, and planners depend on to make critical design decisions. At the same time, project schedules continue to accelerate, and new security requirements,…
A recent merger in the geospatial software space points to a growing industry focus on connecting field data collection with office-based analysis. The combination of Blue Marble Geographics and Avenza Systems reflects a broader movement toward unified workflows that span lidar processing, coordinate transformation, and mobile mapping. A Move Toward Connected Field-to-Office Systems The integration…
SLAM Lidar is enabling rapid digital twin creation by capturing complex environments and processing them into usable 3D models in a matter of minutes. A recent field application highlights how mobile scanning workflows are changing the speed and flexibility of reality capture. Instead of relying on static setups and long processing pipelines, engineers can now…
