Abstract

Utilizing an RGB point cloud for campus-wide 3D geospatial analysis
Track: 3D Cities and Campuses
Authors: Daniel Michalec

As GIS technology and data has become prolific, campuses of varying size have experienced tremendous growth in geospatial awareness. Cities, airports, colleges, and military installations frequently have a wealth of 2D data, but little in 3D. Hill AFB undertook a project to aerially collect a 3D RGB point cloud for their installation. This effort created a rich 3D geospatial dataset useful for situational awareness, base operations, and data visualization.
