How to Use AI to Unlock the Potential of Your 3D Point Clouds: 3 Industry Examples
January 27, 2021 | 10-10:30am ET
It is nothing new that 3D point clouds have a big potential to transform the way we used to capture the real world and extract valuable information out of it. The questions is how this potential can be leveraged on a large scale. Recent advances in 3D Deep Learning research show that the time is here to apply AI solutions on 3D data and enhance the creation of digital twins. However, even though point clouds and AI have been applied to challenges in Geo Processing individually with great success the combination of both remains elusive for large scale practical applications.

Panel: How are DOT’s Using 3D Tools to Solve Infrastructure and Transportation Challenges
On Demand
DOTs need to access the steep and potentially dangerous terrain in order to adequately map features and gather data to support design calculations, but they also need to proceed in a safe manner. Oftentimes, geo-professionals responding to slope failures do not have sufficient time or resources to charter aircraft or other specialty aerial mapping services to obtain the best design data. Inadequate reconnaissance information hinders planning for safe site access. A readily deployable, small, and cost-effective tool is needed in these instances.Join this discussion of latest precision measurement tools and platforms in use by leading DOTs, how they are being integrated for better project management and analytics.
Laser Scanning and 3D Building Information Modeling for Construction and Facilities Management Projects
On Demand
This discussion will highlight how lidar data and imagery were used to create an accurate building information model that is currently being used for airport design, construction, and integration into their facilities management program. Visualization capabilities and survey-grade accuracies are some of the highlights of the developed building model and the presenters will explore how their solutions and workflows utilize these efficiencies to create real differences.
Emerging Technology Showcase
On Demand – Product Preview Presentations
Based off the success and popularity of the our annual live “Product Preview” sessions at AEC Next and SPAR 3D! Want to hear about the newest 3D solutions? Curious to discover which innovations are redefining AEC workflows? Our Emerging Technology Showcase provides attendees with an easy way to get up to speed around the latest product launches and innovations throughout the space, featuring cutting edge video demos moderated by Editor Carla Lauter.
Digital Tools to Identify Construction Issues Before They Become Issues
On Demand
With the advancements in digital construction technology, workflows targeting cost implication and potential rework in construction are not being widely adopted. Utilizing reality capture, along with other digital construction tools are estimated to reduce rework by 1-3%. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent yearly on construction rework that could be reduced and or eliminated. With today’s technology, understanding these workflows to identify issues before they become issues and achieving a zero-rework project can happen; it takes project collaboration and commitment.
The Digital Twin in Action
On Demand
The idea of a “digital twin” – a living, constantly updated and analytical representation of an asset, building or system – has been gaining momentum. As IoT sensor technologies improve, cloud computing becomes more robust, and companies realize the power of applying machine learning and AI, the future of the digital twin seems bright. Learn how a variety of structures from automotive manufacturing facilities, to oil & gas refineries, to a pro football stadium are using digital twins to create real efficiencies. The discussion will identify the tools used, challenges, value and what’s ahead.
Where 3D Tech Provides Extreme ROI
On Demand
Anyone working with 3D-imaging technology has figured out that customers see the most value in the identification of existing conditions. This is also known as providing “as-built services,” where you use 3D-capture technology to identify the topographic, structural, architectural, and/or MEP conditions. A panel of experts will discuss what it means to measure the value of such endeavors in more ways than one.
Aerial Imagery: A Rapidly Evolving Technology for CAD, BIM and GIS
On Demand
From data and detection to action in the field, learn how to unlock location-based insights from aerial imagery technology and Nearmap Artificial intelligence (AI). This session will provide a brief overview of Nearmap 2D, 3D, and AI data available on-demand and task-oriented workflows for integrating premium aerial content in your GIS, CAD, and BIM workflows. Aerial imagery is the starting point for bringing design plans into the geographic realm providing the ability to perform virtual site inspections, evaluate concept designs in the real world, improve collaboration across project teams, and ultimately make better decisions throughout the design and construction process.
