The 2022 IGS Datum Modernization of the NSRS

Modernization of the International GPS Service Datum will impact the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and support the goal of eliminating NAVD 88 and NAD 83.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the history and structure of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS).
  • Explore the changes being put in place by the National Geodetic Survey in their 10-year plan.
  • Identify what will occur to the National American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
  • Summarize the impact the changes will have for professional land surveyors and geospatial researchers.

How to Determine Which Laser Scanning Registration Method is Right for You

Reality capture solutions can provide immediate returns on investment, but choosing the registration method best suited for your project can be challenging.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe what registration is and the different registration methods.
  • Distinguish between target-based registration and cloud-to-cloud registration.
  • Identify what survey control is, understand how it’s established, and explain why it’s important.
  • Determine how best to select a laser scanning registration method for any given project.

Photogrammetry vs. LiDAR: Applying the Best Technology for the Job

Photogrammetry and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) can produce similar outputs. Understanding their technological differences is crucial for land surveyors and geospatial professionals to get the best accuracy out of both methodologies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define what photogrammetry is and how it originated.
  • Define what LiDAR is and how it originated.
  • Describe the differences between photogrammetry and LiDAR.
  • Identify the different use cases for photogrammetry and LiDAR.
  • Cite at least one case where a combination of LiDAR, photogrammetry and/or bathymetry can be used.
