HJW GeoSpatial’s Devin Kelley to present at 2006 MAPPS/ASPRS Conference
(San Antonio)

Oakland, CA, September 8, 2006 – Devin Kelley, Project Manager for HJW GeoSpatial, Inc., has been selected to present at the national MAPPS/ASPRS Specialty Conference on Digital Surface Modeling, to be held November 6th through 10th in San Antonio, Texas. His paper, which is co-authored by Thomas Loecherbach, PhD and Chief Photogrammetrist for HJW GeoSpatial, is titled, “Challenges and Successes in Photogrammetric Approaches to LiDAR-Derived Products”. The paper highlights HJW’s practical experiences over several projects which combined LiDAR with conventional photogrammetry, and illustrates the specific challenges faced in dealing with LiDAR, as well as the unique benefits of incorporating this technology. LiDAR is sometimes marketed as the simple, quick alternative to producing accurate terrain data, but as this paper describes, end-users should be aware of the accommodations necessary for data volumes and specialized software, as well as personnel training.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Measuring the Earth (Part II): Latest Developments with Digital Surface Modeling and Automated Feature Extraction”, focusing on the evolving technology, applications, and standards that have been developed over the last two years.
