Geo Week News has some exciting updates on the latest geospatial, 3D, and AEC technology trends. One interesting article discusses how lidar is being used in Maine's forest industry to map old-growth forests and identify areas of high biodiversity. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we manage and conserve our forests.
Another article highlights the use of reality capture and digital twins in historical preservation. For example, a project in Jordan used reality capture to create a detailed 3D map of the ancient city of Umm Al-Jimal, which will help preserve the site and unlock its secrets. Similarly, a digital twin of the Qutub Shahi Tombs in India is being used to preserve the site and create educational experiences.
The intersection of geospatial technology and artificial intelligence is also an area of growing interest. An article by Rajanikanth Muppalla discusses how AI is being used to analyze geospatial data and provide insights that can inform decision-making. With the increasing availability of Earth observation data, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of geospatial technology and AI in the future.
