SALT LAKE CITY, UT – USA, September 9, 2026 – Organizers of Geo Week, the premier conference and trade show for geospatial and mapping professionals, have announced their Strategic Partnerships for 2027, comprised of Event Partners, Industry Partners, and Supporting Partners. Each partnership plays a pivotal role in bolstering the event’s success and bringing together…
For decades, lidar has been extraordinarily good at answering one question: where is it in three-dimensional space? A pulse of laser light leaves a sensor, strikes a surface and returns. Measure the time between those events precisely enough and the result is an accurate three-dimensional representation of terrain, vegetation, buildings and infrastructure. But today, researchers…
Sixteen wavelengths in an open excavation Researchers from Aarhus University and Moesgaard Museum have developed a multispectral imaging rig that uncovers hidden stratification directly inside active excavation trenches. The prototype illuminates vertical soil sections using sixteen distinct narrow-band light-emitting diode wavelengths, sweeping sequentially from near-ultraviolet through visible bands to near-infrared. Rather than relying on broadband…
