VTgeospatial's video: The VT LiDAR Initiative Presents: A LiDAR Based Web Service Prototype

Presenters: Mike Brouillete, VCGI; Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne, UVM SAL; Johnathan Croft, VTrans; and Lin Niefert, USGS.In an ongoing effort to “democratize” access to the wealth of information present in LiDAR data, the Vermont LiDAR Initiative (VTLI) sponsored by the Enterprise Geospatial Consortium (EGC) sub-committee “VTeam LiDAR”, presents the first Vermont LiDAR image service prototype of the 2012 Addison County project area. This freely accessible data “service” will ultimately expand to make all available LIDAR project data accessible in both basemap and imagery services. After a very brief introduction on “What is LiDAR?” we will overview the proposed suite of LiDAR-based Web Services to be created and hosted by VCGI and how it can be accessed by all users. Closing out the webinar, we will provide a brief update on the status of LiDAR data collection and distribution efforts across the state before having an open floor discussion on related topics.
