ILMF (International LiDAR Mapping Forum) takes place in Denver, Colorado Jan 22-25, 2012. A number of exhibitors have kept us informed of their plans for the event – see also ILMF Denver, CO, Jan 23-25, 2012.
Some Key Geo-Tech / LiDAR players and solution providerswill be on the exhibition floor and delivering presentations including: GeoCue, VR Mesh, LizardTech, Earth Eye, GeoDigital, Riegl, Exelis, ERDAS, Cardinal Systems, and Certainty 3D. Be sure to follow LiDARNews.com for updates from Denver where the NEW, Print Edition of LiDARNews will be launched!
The following are a few updates and reminders from key exhibitors and presenters on what you can expect at the event:
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - GeoDigital (Booth #313) - GeoDigital International, a worldwide leader in corridor and wide area digital mapping has the one of the largest fleet of LiDAR and digital imaging sensors in North America. This allows us to react quickly and cost effectively to the most demanding project requirements. From vegetation management to Transmission Line Re-rating, digital terrain modeling, and asset collection GeoDigital will get the job done. Think GeoDigital – We Provide a Better Point of View. Visit us at ILMF Booth 313 or www.geodigital.com
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - Cardinal Systems (Booth #308) - VrLiDAR’s feature extraction tools are revolutionizing vector collection in today’s marketplace. The concept is simple, deliver a better product, in a shorter time, under tighter budget constraints. Cardinal Systems introduced their newest module, VrLiDAR, to address this current direction within the mapping community. VrLiDAR’s innovative approach to 3D data collection displays point cloud data in true three dimensional stereo. Please stop by Booth #308 for a demonstration of what everyone is talking about. If you have a specific dataset you would like to see, bring an LAS file and we will schedule a demo that is personalized to your application. For more information contact Scott Fink at

Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - LizardTech (Booth #203)
LiDAR Data Meets the MrSID Format
LizardTech® LiDAR Compressor™ software enables you to turn giant point cloud datasets into efficient MrSID® files that retain 100 percent of the raw data at just 25 percent or less of the original file size (lossless compression). If storage requirements are critical, you can reduce your LiDAR file sizes by 90 percent or more by choosing a higher compression ratio and letting LiDAR Compressor select the best way to reach a desired file size (lossy compression). Unlike raw LAS or ASCII data, LiDAR files compressed to MrSID are easily managed resources you can extract derivatives from again and again.
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - Virtual Grid (Booth #95) - VirtualGrid specializes in 3D point cloud and mesh processing. Our innovative product 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.
Please stop by Booth 95 at ILMF 2012 for a live demonstration. We are pleased to show you our innovative technologies. We provide stand-alone applications, and also provide customized versions upon customers’ specifications.
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - ERDAS - Intergraph (Booth #117) - Intergraph will showcase the full Intergraph and ERDAS product portfolio in booth 302, with special emphasis on the products’ LiDAR and point cloud functionality. In addition, we will present “High Resolution Point Clouds” during the ILMF Basics to LiDAR Workshop Series, detailing the applications and benefits of high-resolution point clouds from sensors such as the Leica ALS or stereo imagery processing software such as LPS eATE. For more information about our LiDAR technology, visit www.erdas.com/LiDAR.
E3De is an interactive software environment for professionals who want to utilize raw LiDAR point cloud data to enhance their geospatial products. With E3De, you can easily create realistic 3D visualizations, extract 3D features from a scene, or produce 3D products and layers that you can fuse with 2D data for further analysis.
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - GeoCue (Booth #208) - GeoCue Corporation is a software development and consulting services company specializing in geospatial production management solutions. We will be demonstrating our GeoCue product family of integrated solutions at booth #208. These products provide an integrated end-to-end processing framework that, when combined with industry leading production tools, significantly reduces production time from data acquisition to finished product.
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - Earth Eye (Booth #200) - Jason Amadori, GISP, CEO will be presenting on the New York City DOT LidAR Mobile Collection Project Earth Eye just completed Wednesday afternoon from 1:30-2:30.
Earth Eye is focused on the application of technology to solve the complex challenges of today's infrastructure and geospatial needs. We achieve this through the use of automated and manual processes that leverage data fusion from multiple sensors. The end result is is a higher level of situational awareness and better decision-making capabilities for our clients. At Earth Eye, we live and breathe technology to give our clients the ability to save time and money.
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - Riegl USA (Booth #313) - Riegl USA will be promoting their new VQ-820-G Hydrographic Airborne Laser Scanner. Repetitive surveying of inshore waters is becoming more and more essential to evaluate reservoir sedimentation, river degradation, water flow and water level dynamics, structure and zone variations of rivers and riparian areas. This can only be achieved in an effective way by employing high-resolution hydrographic airborne laser scanning. The VQ-820-G Hydrographic Airborne Laser Scanner is specifically designed to survey seabed’s or ground of rivers or lakes integrated into a Complete Platform for Airborne Scanning, simply installed in any type of aircraft platform, e.g. fixed wing or helicopter.
Featured LiDARNews ILMF Exhibitor - Certainty 3D (Booth #118) - Certainty 3D, LLC is based in Orlando, FL. Certainty3D’s dedicated and experienced professionals are committed to increasing the operational and financial success of our customer’s design-build operations through the application of 3D imaging technology. In this still emerging technology, our experience spans decades. We differentiate ourselves in the market by offering products focused not just on technology but our customer’s success.
