VIDEO BLOG RECAP: ASPRS WORKSHOP AT 2018 INTERNATIONAL LIDAR MAPPING FORUM, SPONSORED BY MICRODRONES

Back in February, Microdrones sponsored a special ASPRS workshop on Unmanned Aerial LiDAR following the 2018 International LiDAR Mapping Forum in Denver, Colorado.

Watch this fun video recap of the event and to see why it’s important for professionals to stay on top of their game at industry events like this.

The clear highlight of the event for Microdrones was the Microdrones-sponsored ASPRS workshop on Thursday, Feb 8th, titled “ASPRS UAS LiDAR Workshop – Unmanned Airborne LiDAR for Precision Mapping.” Microdrones’ very own Dr. Mohamed Mostafa, Director of mdSolutions was the presenter.

Reviews following this workshop were extremely positive. One attendee said, “This was the best workshop in the entire event;” while another attendee added, “Dr. Mostafa’s presentation was amazing. He managed to cover eight years of my professional geospatial schooling in one concise four-hour course.”

Microdrones also presented a special afternoon workshop demonstrating how the new mdLiDAR1000 system offers customers a fully integrated system. The steps in the system are easy to understand: PLAN. FLY. PROCESS. VISUALIZE. The team used data collected from a special demo conducted in cooperation with Microdrones dealer, Frontier Precision, earlier that week at a nearby golf course undergoing renovation to show the results achievable with this system.

Check out the video from that demo to see how the mdLiDAR1000 system performs in action.
