Mobile LiDAR Interview with Aaron Morris

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: 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.

Mobile LiDAR is a system comprised of various components that are connected to provide a solution.

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.

Sample of the Mobile Template

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!
