Roland Pail is a professor of Astronomical and Physical Geodesy at the Technical University of Munich. His research activities focus on global and regional modelling of the Earth’s gravity field,...

Woolpert has secured a contract with the University of Wyoming to generate a digital terrain model and contours. Leveraging Lidar data previously acquired for the United States Geological Survey (USGS),...

Dublin City University (DCU) has partnered with Bentley Systems to spearhead the creation of an advanced digital twin of its campus as a pivotal element of its Smart DCU initiative....

The digital twin concept has virtually exploded in recent years, but within the built environment the traditional term has long been ‘3D city model’. However, the digital twin is increasingly...

Thanks to rapid improvements in aerial laser scanning systems, they offer great potential in road surveying compared with traditional photogrammetry-based methods. Using the high-density 3D point clouds resulting from aerial...

To explore the contribution of UAVs to the spatial mapping process in urban environments, a team from Greece studied the use of aerial imagery to achieve wide coverage of a...

A project in Aotearoa/New Zealand is combining the use of high-quality DEMs from satellite photogrammetric mapping (SPM) with Lidar technologies to model hazards such as snow avalanches. The resulting topographic...

Innovative methodologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are lowering the barriers and democratizing the use of 3D digital twins in the geospatial industry. Digital twins are revolutionizing the geospatial industry,...
