Always another show, wondering where I am, it's only Tuesday... #thelidarpros #surveying #uasmapping

Just processed this in #Pix4dMatic during the UCLS survey show in Southern Utah. Amazing how clean pointclouds can be with the right camera. #theLiDARPROs #LiDARScan #HDS #ConstructionEfficiency #Mapping #Photogrammetry #pointcloud

Happy to be at the Utah UCLS Conference in St. George, UT! bit.ly/4baCsSs Our team is running the UAS track for the conference; come find us all day tomorrow in BallRooms A/B. Four sessions all day, plus live flight!

And here we are at #Geoweek!

Duffy Blames Midair Crash On DEI, Terminology flip.it/GtAi.B This simply cannot be accurate. He's obviously unfamiliar with aviation terminology.

if you haven't caught the story of the LA (canadian) fireplane/UA collision; here it is. www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/u...

Note that the most intact part of the UA is the battery. Batteries are harder than a softball. Softballs at speed will break windshields and do significant harm. This is what Dick flew during a TFR. Lives depend on you not being a Dick.

This is the drone found inside the wing of a firebombing plane. It punched through the leading edge of a wing. As fire fighters say, "If you're flying, we can't be flying." Keep your UA/drone on the ground, even if you believe "that little thing can't cause harm" #drones4good #dronesafety #UAS

check out this open pit manganese mine about to be reclaimed. Captured with the Wingtra RGB61 camera, this map provides topography and fill data to the GC. cloud.pix4d.com/site/276910/... #womeninSTEM #STEM #WomenandDrones #SundanceMediaGroup #AEC #Mining #reclamation #CostSavings

This is the new Sony ILX camera. Zoom in deep to see the detail a high-quality sensor provides. Accurate to a centimeter on ground cloud.pix4d.com/dataset/1917... #STEM #WomeninSTEM #WomenandDrones #Photogrammetry #AerialMapping #Sony #SundanceMediaGroup #PointCloud #Surveygrade

This egg farm scan shows why small sensors aren't ideal for aerial mapping. .5 sensors aren't made for any kind of serious mapping or accuracy. We ended up "fixing" this for the client. Tho not perfect, it's not bad. cloud.pix4d.com/dataset/1016... #DronesforGood #STEM

This is Joanne, Joanne is one of our Night Flight training crew. We take people out at night and teach them to fly UA (#drones) in the dark. #womeninSTEM #WomenandDrones #SundanceMediaGroup #DronesforGood #AcademicSky

youtu.be/tviNcJfJHJs This is our deep dive into the new Geocue TV16Go. This handheld powerhouse makes massive cuts in time requirements while providing deep data with precision. Ideal for Architects, Construction, Civil Engineers, game development, and s much more

Lots of sensors can acquire data. Several software solutions can parse the data. Many operators and users of the software and hardware tools are unclear on clean vs dirty data what working with point clouds. We're here to clear the air...

This is Anne V. Coates, prolific editor with many Academy Awards, including "Lawrence of Arabia," shortly before her passing. She spoke at a Film Editors Retreat at which I was also speaking on Cinema, Audio treatments, and production. Truly an inspirational woman the industry should never forget.

This is an image from our Night Flight Forensic training. We began this training back in 2017, now used by many PD's and other agencies. Best view is in 3D. cloud.pix4d.com/site/285036/...

Our team partnered with #SundanceMediaGroup and UDOT for training. www.valleyjournals.com/2024/10/02/5...

This location is next to an airport; understanding regulation and opportunity is critical to successful UAS operations. This flight is for an as-built data capture

This is our owner, @eikasia3.bsky.social speaking on drones/UAS for a television show produced at the National Association of Broadcasters. UAS aren't just for construction and inspection; they're also used for Cinema and Television production.

My AI prompt skills are currently weak, but "woman in construction flying drone in desert" doesn't match this subsequent image. What's more curious to me however, is most of the women projected in any environment are highly sexualized. Why? And why 2 remotes? #womeninSTEM

Wishing the very best holiday season to our clients, friends, and family

With RTK and PPK solutions, UAS/drones are able to perform as-built duties in addition to progress reporting, current conditions, grade/topos, and much more. This elementary school used drones start to finish, saving ~8% on construction costs. Ask us how! #AEC #as-built #ALTA #Inspection #drone

brooklyn.news12.com/nypd-recover... We're here to help inform the public about UAS, so feel free to ask us anything!

When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.

I have taken off in over 12,000 different airplane flights, but have landed only 5,210 of those flights in the aircraft. Who/what am I?

Why people say “you’re taking up half the bed” when you’re SUPPOSED to take half?

TLP's Ben Goddard speaks to the Utah Surveyors Luncheon.

We are scheduling Thermal camera training; jump on the bandwagon and learn what Thermal Cameras can do in nearly any application.

It's that time of year for some to power down drones and other devices that may not see much use in the colder months. Be sure to put LiPo batts in STORAGE mode so their life is long and healthy. Stay safe out there!

We have no special talents. The LiDAR PROs are merely "passionately curious". Happy weekend everyone!

If sheep are grouped in "flocks" vs "herds," why are their managers not called "shepflockers?"

Many RC pilots and UAS pilots struggle to understand low-level weather and how it might impact UAS flight in confined areas. We have a training course on Urban Turbulence, in addition to several videos and blog posts. thelidarpros.com/understandin...

Why we don't hand-catch UAS. Trigger warning; there are several bloody photos. Proceed at your own risk. thelidarpros.com/why-we-dont-...
