Webinar: Monitoring Vegetation Encroachment on Power Line Right-of-way Corridors Using LiDAR Data with E3De and ArcGIS

Vegetation encroachment on power lines is a safety concern and can cause service interruptions requiring expensive, emergency repairs. Because monitoring vegetation encroachment on power lines is labor intensive, it’s often neglected and subsequent problems arise with little or no warning. Now, cities and municipalities can utilize LiDAR data, an increasingly available data type that gives users extremely accurate 3D representations of buildings, trees, power lines and other structures, to effectively monitor vegetation encroachment on power lines without a large commitment of labor hours.

Please join ITT Visual Information Solutions (ITT VIS) for a webinar to learn how E3De, the new LiDAR software solution from ITT VIS, can indentify vegetation encroachment issues in power line right-of-ways. E3De provides robust LiDAR processing and analysis tools to perform a variety of tasks including 3-D feature extraction, the ability to create standard raster and topographic products from raw point clouds, and more. In this webinar, you will learn more how to:

•     Visualize LiDAR data with E3De in 2D, 3D and cross sections
•     Extract power lines, building footprints, trees and other features from E3De into a vector format
•     Preview results and perform on-the-fly processing to streamline your workflow
•     Export your results to ENVI and ArcGIS for further analysis

Who should attend
Professionals from energy companies, state and local governments, or anyone interested in encroachment or spatial planning challenges should attend this event. No previous experience with LiDAR is necessary.
