Digital Elevation Models have been and continue to play an important role in topographic mapping, surveying, climate change, and bathymetric applications to name a few. Modern technological improvements allow for DEMs to be captured from aerial and spaceborne platforms from a variety of different sources including LiDAR, IFSAR, and photogrammetric cameras. This workshop seeks to explore the advantages of different types of DEM technologies, the future, and to present some real world case studies on the application of DEMs.

Presentations will be given from a range of speakers including vendors, universities and scientific institutions, and Federal and State Government agencies. Topics under discussion include applications based on bathymetric LiDAR, full waveform LiDAR applications on forestry, the use of DEMs for infrastructure, and examples of tools to use and manage these datasets. Part of the workshop will allow for an open discussion between workshop participants and vendors providing different technological solutions to DEM acquisition and generation.
