Enhancing Urban Landscape Analysis with Combined LiDAR and Visual Image Data Preprocessing Urban planning and smart city development are evolving at a rapid pace, and the need for accurate, data-driven insights is critical. By combining LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) with visual image data, we unlock a new level of precision in urban landscape analysis. This approach allows for highly detailed 3D models of cityscapes, helping planners, architects, and environmental scientists make informed decisions. Through advanced data preprocessing techniques, we can integrate and clean both datasets, ensuring optimal accuracy. LiDAR captures precise topographical data, while visual imagery provides context with color and texture information. Together, these datasets enable enhanced insights for infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, and urban expansion projects. At the forefront of urban innovation, this integrated approach ensures faster, more reliable, and cost-effective decision-making for creating sustainable and smarter cities. #UrbanAnalysis #SmartCities #LiDAR #UrbanPlanning #DataInnovation Take a look at my article!

𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬: 𝐃𝐄𝐌, 𝐃𝐓𝐌, 𝐃𝐒𝐌 💡𝘿𝙀𝙈 (𝘿𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡): A DEM is a digital representation of the Earth's surface that depicts the elevation of terrain features. It is typically represented as a grid, with each cell in the grid containing a value that represents the elevation at that location. DEMs are widely used in various applications, such as geographic information systems (GIS), environmental modeling, and terrain analysis. 💡𝘿𝙏𝙈 (𝘿𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡): A DTM is a specific type of DEM that represents the bare Earth's surface without any features like buildings, vegetation, or other structures. It provides a more accurate representation of the natural topography by filtering out cultural features. DTMs are essential in applications like hydrology, landform analysis, and terrain modeling where the focus is on understanding the natural terrain without the influence of human-made structures. 💡𝘿𝙎𝙈 (𝘿𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙪𝙧𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡): A DSM represents the Earth's surface, including both the natural terrain and any overlying structures or vegetation. It includes all objects on the Earth's surface, such as buildings, trees, and other features. DSMs are often used in urban planning, forestry, and other applications where a comprehensive understanding of the surface, including man-made structures and vegetation, is necessary. In summary, DEM represents the elevation of the Earth's surface, DTM focuses on the bare natural terrain, and DSM includes both natural and man-made features.

For those new to my network - here's a bit about me: 🏁 I fell into this job 4 years ago (possibly this month) by a bit of luck. ❌ I knew nothing about the words #mobilemapping #GIS or #geospatial before that. 📕 I love to hear about how our customers find new and creative problems to solve with our cameras 🎒 I will travel just about anywhere - just invite me ;) And here's a bit about 🌟 WHY 🌟 I'm so proud to work for Mosaic and 🌟 WHY 🌟 we designed and built our camera systems the way we did: ✅ so *anyone* can learn to operate it ✅ so customers can build a system on top of ours by *integrating with additional devices* ✅ so that the *data can be processed* in most any workflow ✅ so that the end user *knows what they are looking at* - because everyone understand streetview. If any of that seems to check one or all of your boxes, then let us know and we'd be happy to share more information. #mosaic360cameras #streetview #surveying #infrastructuremaintenance #assetinspection

Excited to share new observation-based research on airflow around skyscrapers. Doppler lidar and sonde measurements reveal that perpendicular canyons experience a similar vortex when inflow hits the curved wall and the presence of thermal eddies is strong enough to reverse the mechanically driven airflow within the street canyons.
