Using LiDAR Data in AutoCAD Map 3D

Roanoke County, VA, in collaboration with NV5, is pioneering a data-driven approach to waste management by integrating real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and sensor-based monitoring into trash collection operations. Using Esri ArcGIS Experience Builder (ExB) Developer Edition, the County has developed TrashView, an innovative application that enhances operational efficiency, improves fleet management, and provides residents with…

Drone power line inspections are a critical component of electricity network management and infrastructure planning. They are performed to ensure public safety, support maintenance activities, and verify clearance when new infrastructure is designed near existing high-voltage lines. Accurate spatial information is essential, particularly in environments where vegetation, terrain, and linear infrastructure interact. In this case…

Two brothers, Nate and Chad Silvernail, recently completed an independent digital conservation project to preserve the Cottonwood Paper Mill in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Using drones and photogrammetry, they generated a highly detailed 3D model of the structure after learning of its potential demolition. Originally constructed between 1880 and 1883 from local granite, the mill served…
