6th International Terrestrial Laser Scanning User Meeting

Back to Optech | Lynx Products | ILRIS Products

What was once a disruptive technology is now mainstream. Laser scanning technologies enable organizations to analyze the environment in greater detail than ever before, and give geodata providers an array of tools to deliver new services.

Presentations at Optech's 6th International Terrestrial Laser Scanning User Meeting will be presented by expert users of both static and mobile land-based scanning technologies. They will share their experiences and suggestions for best-practice implementation in an increasingly dynamic market.

Optech ILRIS, Optech CMS and Optech Lynx systems will be available for viewing during the event.
