*Description*

3D Point Clouds are becoming ubiquitous - people collect them with
scanners, with drones, and with phones. However, collecting the point cloud
is now the easy part of the process. Features need to be extracted and
identified from the data to provide context. While many tools are being
created to extract features from 3D point clouds, there is currently no
agreed upon definitions of how these 3D features are to be defined. This
greatly limits the ability to transfer information between applications and
utilize it in subsequent analyses. It can be frustrating to be a drafter
(or Artificial Intelligence) trying to learn what curbs (or kerbs) look
like if no one can agree whether flow line or back-of-curb is the defining
feature. This GeoByte will present a new common language, OpenLSEF, that
describes how features in 3D point clouds should be defined, by
establishing definitions and terminology, products from providers can be
standardized, designers can expect consistency, self-driving cars can share
high-definition maps and tool-makers can focus on ensuring extraction
algorithms return expected results. OpenLSEF is a user-created initiative
focusing on standardizing extraction definition in the AEC (architecture,
engineering and construction) field, as well as transmission, utilities and
BIM (building information management). These are living standards relating
to the meaning of extracted data, as opposed to simply focusing on actual
file format standards. As such, OpenLSEF is data-format agnostic and is
meaningful whether you deal in DWG, DGN or SHP files. The webinar will also
include information regarding how to become involved in the Open LSEF
Working groups.
