Due to the current state of emergency, our 51st Annual Meeting & Equipment Show scheduled for December 3-4, 2020 was cancelled. In order to conduct some business moving forward, and to install the new officers & directors for 2021, the Annual Business Meeting was rescheduled to Thursday, February 4, 2021. Current Vice President Mitch Cummings also scheduled a two-hour webinar to give members a chance to acquire some educational credits. We hope to be introducing additional webinars over the next couple of months before our Spring Quarterly, which at this time, we’re not certain what that will look like.
Webinar: A Surveyor’s Guide to the Aerial Map Process, Requirements & Updates
The workshop will discuss project planning and creation of topographic & planimetric maps and also what is required from the surveyor. Topics will include the decision process for creating the most efficient maps, reviewing the pros and cons for various methods, and tips for surveyors to reduce delays. The first focus of the webinar will be the use of Manned Aircraft Photogrammetry including ground control steps and possible problems, importance of setting surveyor’s control to the aerial imagery and the mapping workflows. The second focus will be the use of Custom Flown Lidar including differing ground control requirements, ground classifications, and merging both methods for the most complete end product. Webinar will include demos of different solutions.
