SPAR 2010: 3D Imaging & Positioning for Engineering, Construction, Manufacturing, February 8-10, 2010, Houston, Texas, USA
Tough economic conditions force us all to rethink the ways we work and how we make ourselves and our organizations more valuable--we innovate. Our goal at SPAR 2010 is to help you find creative ways to weather this economy, to help you concentrate your efforts and resources on growth areas, and to help prepare you for the recovery when it comes.
We are currently building our conference program and invite you to submit a presentation abstract describing innovative uses of 3D imaging. This includes such topics and solutions as: laser scanning, mobile data capture, integrating CAD and GIS with 3D data capture, and fusing digital photography with survey-grade field data--all with a goal to mitigate project risk, shorten schedules, reduce costs and improve safety. Presentations that address the issues of best practices for contracting, professional development and liability management are also invited.
