Rural Seminar - 2016

The schedule for the 2016 SCSI Rural Seminar is now online - I (or some fellow called Calahane) will be giving a talk on the potential of new mapping technologies for the rural sector, covering uses of remote sensing (satellite and aerial, both active and passive ) and RPAS for measuring flooding, precision agriculture, land cover and developing surface models for spatial analysis.

  2. This looks like a very interesting segment of the Seminar and unfortunately I am unable to attend. Will your presentation be available online, or a video made of your talk ? I am particularly interested in developing surface models for spatial analysis.

    1. Hi Derek - yes will be looking at some drone mapping of surfaces but mostly precision ag and satellite at this talk. Are you still in Val Off? You guys are hardly looking at 3D mapping now?

    2. No. I moved on from Val Off a few years ago, to develop practical 3D skills. I'm currently on a work hiatus but want to keep abreast of new and emerging techniques.

    1. Went well - lots of questions from an insurance/flood mapping point of view and some afterwards on forestry/LiDAR, which I had largely left out of my talk. Slides available at the end of the page here if you are interested;
