Concept Note

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has emerged as a cornerstone technology in geospatial data applications, offering highly detailed information models. With the advent of high point density aerial LiDAR, the ability to capture intricate topographic details has significantly improved, enhancing applications in urban planning, forestry, and environmental or infrastructure monitoring. Advanced terrestrial laser scanning technologies better acquisition systems are enabling improved surveys, and data collection. Moreover, artificial intelligence techniques applied to LiDAR point cloud data is unlocking new possibilities in automated processes.

Industries such as transportation, construction, disaster management, and telecommunications benefit immensely from LiDAR's accuracy and efficiency. From enabling safer road networks through precise highway monitoring to aiding in the strategic planning of urban developments, LiDAR is an indispensable tool in modern geospatial intelligence. This summit explores these cutting-edge applications, demonstrating how LiDAR continues to shape the future of data-driven decision-making and infrastructure resilience.
