3D Maximizes Utilities’ LiDAR Investment Managing Data Online Making it Accessible to Those Who Need It! Valencia, Spain, Centennial CO, - DIELMO 3D S.L., Valencia, Spain, (www.dielmo.com) helps to empower
utility Right-of-Way (ROW) managers by giving them the right tools to implement business practices to manage wire condition
risks, field and operation issues, auditing, and remediation of emergent issues, by putting their LiDAR, ortho photos and
other information online and accessible to all interested personnel in a manner that is understandable to all parties. Dielmo Server Technology is distributed in
North America by Spatial Resources, LLC, Centennial, Colorado (www.spatialresources.com) providing a very useful tool for
managing LiDAR data online. All potential users who don’t know or cannot manage LiDAR data will be able to understand
and work with this information drawing conclusions from LiDAR data, getting information from a point, displaying the data
in 3D, drawing a cross-section or making measurements. A ploy utilities need to watch out for is LiDAR providers who use data
acquisition and basic processing as a loss leader and selling the utility that they just need their final deliverables from
the LiDAR survey and not the actual original data. This is a critical mistake because then LiDAR vendors can hold the original
LiDAR data hostage …understanding that when the utility comes back for more value-added processing and information
products, the price gets a lot higher and the utility ends up paying a lot more than they originally would if they had contracted
properly. Facility owners should
insist on receiving all data from a LiDAR survey including the original LiDAR point cloud data as well as all final deliverables.
Dielmo removes the high cost of maintaining internal IT staff, infrastructure and hardware by hosting these services and managing
the heavy lifting of data storage requirements associated with the Gigabytes of LiDAR and Ortho Imagery as well as generating
intelligent information derived from LiDAR data. Data can be made accessible to other GIS systems as a Web Mapping Service
(WMS) requiring no GIS data configuration or resource dependent Geo-database loading. For electric transmission applications, Dielmo Server Technology is able to display LiDAR
data in 3D, by height, intensity, and classifications; Analyze the data by creating profiles; Classify profiles and export
them; and get information from each point. Without any expert knowledge or specialized software, utility personnel can detect
danger areas, measure pole distances, height of wires and monitor valuable infrastructure. Excellent QA/QC Tool to Evaluate, Analyze and Maximize Benefits of
LiDAR Data and Archive Valuable Geospatial Information Dielmo Server Technology allows the visualization of LiDAR data, DTM’s and ortho photos using
Web Mapping Services (WMS), an OGC standard, to visualize original LiDAR point-cloud data that can be represented in different
styles (height, intensity, RGB or classification) without having to distribute the original data. Dielmo’s 3D Viewer provides outstanding 3D Visualization allowing
users to set preferences for display of the 3D point cloud, while the Dielmo LiDAR profile client allows complete analysis
of the LiDAR data including editing, measurement and export tools. The technology allows users to distribute LiDAR data
by region or by profile, using HTTP requests with the region of interest and coordinate system. Dielmo’s web service
is able to create an LAS file with only the points inside the selected region returned to the user as a link to the compressed
file in less than one second. Dielmo
3D also provides classification of data, vectorization of transmission networks, and risk evaluation of vegetation encroachment
into power lines. They can classify original LAS/xyz/bin LiDAR data and provide rapid, accurate classified data in specified
themes, such as: Buildings, Wooden poles, Ground, Vegetation (high, medium, low), Infrastructure, electric towers, Power lines
(2D, 3D) and Roads. Utilities face
tremendous operational challenges every day in managing transmission lines and ROW’s. They need to decide what equipment
or machinery to use when accessing a given line or span that has been restricted by virtue of terrain, land use, steepness,
remote access, habitat etc. Having LiDAR, ortho photos and other geographic information online for all team members to access
makes these day to day operational challenges much easier with less risk when addressed online in the office saving expensive,
time-consuming trips to the field. About DIELMO 3D S.L. Since
2003, DIELMO (DIgital ELevation MOdels) offers a broad range of products and services connected with Digital Terrain Models
(DTM) and Remote Sensing, and focusing its efforts on internal research projects creating their own technology for production,

to assist utilities in the management of their power line, pipeline and other linear corridor assets.
With the completion of the integration
and deployment of new airborne Lidar and image acquisition hardware GeoDigital has commenced a major expansion of operations
and a recruitment campaign to expand its offices in Victoria BC, Ottawa and Toronto Ontario and Lompoc California. The company
is seeking individuals to operate an new generation of mobile helicopter based Lidar and image mapping systems and to conduct
Lidar and image data processing for a diverse range of clients needing the rapid delivery of engineering grade survey and
image mapping data. Qualified applicants are invited to forward their résumé’s to Jobs@GeoDigital.com or Jobs@Linearvision.com
stating their expertise, area of interest and desired operating location(s).
TopoSys LIDAR/Imaging Systems Deliver High-Value LIDAR Applications
There are two schools of thought in the LIDAR mapping business:
One group wants to commoditize LIDAR by flying as high and as fast as possible to collect low-res LIDAR data… covering
very large areas at a very low cost … with little or no value-add. Then, there is a second group that recognizes the
growing demand for higher accuracy, higher density, higher quality LIDAR data that can be acquired simultaneously with multispectral
imagery to derive the full benefits of the technology and generate a greater return on their investment.
The TopoSys line of LIDAR/Imaging systems are engineered specifically to deliver high
value applications such as engineering site
development, road surveys, power and pipeline monitoring, hydrographic studies, coastal erosion, topographic mapping and 3D
urban/city models.

Date Submitted: 11-13-2007 TopoSys Virtually Eliminates Calibration Flights For Aerial LIDAR Surveys Denver,
Colorado – November 13, 2007 – TopoSys has virtually eliminated the need for calibration flights or “Boresighting”
for aerial LIDAR surveys with their line of LiDAR sensors which are highly stable, completely integrated, turn-key systems
of IMU, GPS, LIDAR sensor and digital imaging systems.
"Calibration" and "boresighting"
are two terms for the process to determine the offsets between the IMU coordinate axes and the Lidar coordinate axes. This
is accomplished with a "patch test" flight over a suitable area in a clover-leaf, or figure eight, pattern (N-S,
W-E and reverse). Most aerial LIDAR manufacturers recommend collecting "3D objects" on the terrain that are easily
identifiable in the Lidar imagery, such as industrial buildings with flat roof tops or gabled roofs are even better. The results
from this small patch flight are the roll, pitch and heading offsets between the IMU and the laser.

common question asked by many purchasers of geo-spatial data is “Do we want to spend additional money for independent
quality control (QC)”? The project may have been purchased as a low bid and money was saved, should
you use this saved money to contract with an independent QC provider for verification that the data was indeed collected and
processed as detailed in your scope of work? The potential always exists that the data delivered
may not be suitable for the intended mapping applications. The industry is experiencing a reduction in geospatial product pricing; this is in part due to
the latest advances in sensor technology and processing software. The downside of these advances is that
all providers, whether they have advanced systems or not, need to collect and process data on tighter budgets and schedules.
Even though vendors have best intentions, errors and quality review can be overlooked when budgets are tight. Read full article... Date Submitted: 9-14-2007 Second
Largest Forest Products Company Realizes Multiple Benefits from LIDAR and Ortho Imagery The
use of LIDAR in forestry applications has been relatively slow to develop operationally. However, increasingly forest products
companies are finding that high-accuracy, high-density aerial LIDAR data combined with multispectral, ortho imagery is particularly
suitable for forest inventory and monitoring, harvesting forecasts and timber growth as well as optimization of transportation
routes. One of the leading forest products companies in South America is making a major commitment
to the use of LIDAR and imagery and realizing significant benefits to their operations. Forestal Arauco S.A. (www.arauco.cl) is the world’s second largest cellulose producer and one
of the largest forestry enterprises in Latin America in terms of surface area and yield of its plantations. In
February 2006, Arauco contracted Digimapas Chile Aerofotogrametria Ltda. (DMCL), Santiago, Chile, to acquire, process and
map 7,500,000 hectares (almost 30,000 square miles) of aerial LIDAR and ortho photo data of forested areas in Chile. Dr. Markus
Rombach (Markus.Rombach@Digimapas.cl), director of Digimapas Chile (www.digimapas.cl) said “We started the operational
mapping in November 2006 and can reach a monthly production of approximately. 450,000 hectares (about 1800 sq. mi.). So far
we have mapped approx. 2.5 million hectares of a total of 7.5 million hectares to be delivered to Arauco during the next year.”
On a weekly basis, Digimapas is delivering digital terrain and surface models (DTM, DSM) of one meter post spacing;
