Seminar Point Clouds

programmaprogramma

Date:
Thursday 26 november 2009
Start:
9:30 h
Location:
Oracle Nederland BV, Rijnzathe 6, 3454 PV De Meern, the Netherlands.

The seminar is jointly organized by the Subcommissions Marine Geodesy and Core Spatial Data of the Netherlands Geodetic Commission, Oracle and the Oracle Gebruikersclub Holland.
There were ca. 80 participants.

The theme of the seminar will be about the challenges caused by the ever increasing amount of data that is generated by modern sensor systems, both in the wet and dry sectors. To reach a broader audience, we will focus on both marine (multi-beam echo) and land (lidar) data. The expected audience will be mainly from the Netherlands government/authorities (Dutch Hydrographic Service, Rijkswaterstaat, Kadaster), research organizations (institutes, universities), and industry (wet and dry data acquisition, Geo-ICT).

It was decided to combine both the wet and dry perspective, with the focus of data management of large point clouds, in order to discover the common challenges to be included in the research agenda. Current solutions may not be sufficient for future needs and therefore new software (data structures, algorithms) and hardware (parallel computing, clusters, grids) need to be investigated.

The presentation of Dirk Voets (Imagen) is not available.
