| Initial announcement NCG Seminar Massive Point Clouds: wet and dry Date: 26 November 2009 Location: Oracle, De Meern (most likely) Two subcomissions, Marine Geodesy and Core Spatial Data, of the Netherlands Geodetic Commission (NCG, part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, KNAW, see http://www.ncg.knaw.nl/index_eng.html ) are jointly organizing the seminar 'Management of massive point cloud data: wet and dry'. The theme of the seminar day will be about the challenges caused by the ever increasing amount of data that is generated with modern sensor systems, both in the wet and dry sectors. To reach a broader audience, we will focus on both marine (multi-beam echo) and land (lidar) data. The expected audience will be mainly from the Netherlands government/authorities (Dutch Hydrographic Service, Rijkswaterstaat, Kadaster), research organizations (institutes, universities), and industry (wet and dry data acquisition, Geo-ICT). It was decided to combine both the wet and dry perspective, with the focus of data management of large point clouds, in order to discover the common challenges to be included in the research agenda. Current solutions my not be sufficient for the future needs and therefore new software (data structures, algorithms) and hardware (parallel computing, clusters, grid) need to be investigated.
