At the recent LiDAR workshop, Olaf Niemann presents on using multisensor airborne data as a means of monitoring large-scaled industrial activity on the natural landscape. His group is working with the federal and provincial governments on monitoring projects, particularly related to the oilsands, using LiDAR.
The first portion of the presentation provides an overview of the multi-sensor data collection process they use, as well as the ways the data is analyzed and processed. Part two provides some examples of what the data looks like, and the types of information that can be extracted.
In March 2012, over 300 people gathered in Edmonton to participate in a 2-day workshop about how LiDAR technology is being used in Alberta, and the potential future applications for LiDAR data. The Land-use Knowledge Network was able to record the presentations.
