Today in Denver CO, the 10 annual LIDAR Mapping Forum kicks off. Several hundred Geo tech professionals from around the Globe will take part in a Conference program of some 30 technical papers focusing on the commercial and technical issues facing the industry. Of particular interest to many will be a new last minute addition to the conference program – two presentations on how LiDAR is being used in Haiti to assess the damage from the recent earthquake and the future probability of subsequent earthquakes.
