The following are a few updates and reminders from key exhibitors and presenters on what you can expect at the event:

LizardTech Booth# – 203
Basics to LIDAR Workshop by Michael Rosen Presentation title: LiDAR distribution challenges and solutions. Details –
With the increasing use of LiDAR comes a corresponding increase in the frustration of geospatial professionals who need to work with point cloud data. LiDAR files can get unmanageably large very quickly.  This makes the distribution challenge particularly difficult.  In this presentation we will explore the current state of the art approaches to dealing with this problem. At ILMF LizardTech will be showcasing LiDAR Compressor.

Virtual Grid Booth# 95
VirtualGrid specializes in 3D point cloud and mesh processing. VRMesh Survey provides automatic point cloud classification solutions for airborne and mobile LiDAR. Removing vegetation, detecting ground points, extracting building footprints and creating 3D buildings can be automatically done in one click with high accuracy, which work well under extreme variations in terrain. Shape file is supported. Find out more www.vrmesh.com VirtualGrid (www.vrmesh.com) will announce the availability of VRMesh v7.0 Survey at International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF) 2012. Visit us at Booth 95 (Jan 23rd – 25th, 2012, Denver) to learn about breakthrough technologies in point cloud classification for airborne and mobile LiDAR. Stop by Booth 95 at ILMF 2012 for a live demonstration.

A Google Chrome Cheat Sheet

by

It seems Firefox is growing more painful and plagued with issues with every release (my observation) and there’s no doubt that the user base of IE and some other popular web browsers is tailing off, particularly in specific Internet user demographic groups. Google Chrome, however, seems to be steadily gaining momentum. For those of you that are interested in using Chrome a little more and perhaps becoming a bit more productive with Chrome, here’s a free cheat sheet I stumbled onto and have printed out for quick reference.

Some Google Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts:

  • Ctrl+N -> Opens a new window.
  • Ctrl+T -> Opens a new tab.
  • Ctrl+Shift+N -> Opens a new window in incognito mode.
  • Ctrl+Shift+T -> Reopens the last tab that you closed.
  • Drag a link to a tab -> Opens the link in the tab.

Note, registering to receive the sheet will also sign you up for periodic tips and tricks via email so beware. Grab the free Chrome Cheat Sheet HERE
