Knowledge Well Flier

Join us December 7, 2011 for the
Knowledge Well Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions Series:
LIDAR: The Beginning of BIM
Learn from Experts How Optical Remote Sensing Technology LIDAR is Integrated into Today’s Building Information Modeling [BIM] 
Thursday, December 7th, 2011
8am – 5pm (with lunch & PDHs)
Raleigh, NC
Knowledge Well Sustainable Infrastructure Solution Series
LIDAR: The Beginning of BIM
Practical Uses and Implementation
Development owners and those affiliated with government or utilities won’t want to miss this event, a chance to realize how Light Detection and Ranging [LIDAR] technology “fits into today’s BIM environments.”  Transportation and bridge development will be a central highlight.
Learn from transportation infrastructure expert and keynote speaker David Lee Fagerman, world leader in LIDAR imagery and visualization Riadh Munjy, NC State Value Engineer Jeffery Garland, NC A&T University professor Jerry Nave, and Geomatics Engineer Tim Fish the various ways in which LIDAR can be used to improve planning, visualization and communicating design concepts.

The following areas will be discussed:
1) Types of data that can be obtained (surfaces, attributed assets, CAD data- Bentley & Autodesk integration)
2) Field methods used to obtain the data (static, mobile, aerial)
3) Process of reducing raw data to obtain an unclassified Point Cloud
4) Methods for classifying Point Clouds
5) Solutions available to utilize finished products from LIDAR data (assets, surfaces, classified point clouds, and CAD data)

LIDAR is an effective tool for land surveyors, planning and GIS professionals, civil engineers and designers, heavy construction contractors, and others seeking to improve their process of data collection and analysis.  There is a steep learning curve on research and comprehension involving certain aspects of remote sensing technology, and this is your opportunity to learn.
