During the 2011 ESRI International User Conference, Baker's Aaron Morris took a few moments away from our booth to be interviewed by VerySpatial. Aaron provides a background on Mobile LiDAR and highlights some of our recent projects. The podcast is now available online or through iTunes.
Thank you to Jesse and the rest of the crew at VerySpatial for the opportunity for us to share Mobile LiDAR with their listeners.
Cheers!

Mobile LiDAR systems employ vehicle-mounted lasers, cameras and GPS/INS navigation systems to capture highly detailed 1:1 scale, 3D topographic data for surveying and engineering applications. Michael Baker International became an early adopter of Mobile LiDAR technology in 2009, and expanded our capacity in 2014 and 2015 to increase our fleet to four Optech Lynx SG1 Mobile LiDAR systems. Ask about custom solutions for utilities, rail, transportation, airports, pavement, photologs, and more.

Mobile LiDAR: Positioning Systems
In my most recent article for LiDAR News, I provide an overview of Positioning Systems for Mobile LiDAR. It is a little more in depth than a blog posting I prepared back in 2009 titled Measuring Systems Part 1 - Positioning.
My belief is that the Position and Orientation System (POS) used to develop the Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) is the distinguishing factor between available Mobile LiDAR systems. The ability to accurately position the vehicle has downstream advantages for the initial LiDAR processing and subsequent control adjustment.
Cheers!

Mobile LiDAR Blog goes Mobile
Following up on the recent redesign to the blog, I applied a mobile template so it can easily be viewed on your smart phone or other mobile device. Since it seems we're all on the go these days, it will be easier to check in to see the latest postings.
In addition, I've included the QR code that will take you directly to the site. After having a Blackberry for nearly a decade, I'm still getting used to my iPhone keyboard and the code comes in handy.
Let me know what you think of the recent changes.
Cheers!
