Teledyne Optech and Teledyne CARIS Merge to Form Teledyne Geospatial

Welcome to the New Geospatial Teledyne Optech and Teledyne CARIS have united to form Teledyne Geospatial in response to the evolving marketplace needs. Under the Teledyne Imaging group, the harmony between the two business units was clear and the two teams were brought together to offer added value to customers through solutions across hardware, software and workflows.

Andy Hoggarth, vice president of sales and marketing at Teledyne Geospatial, has been with Teledyne CARIS for almost 20 years.

Having begun his geospatial career as a multibeam sonar processor using CARIS software at sea, he transitioned from working on the technical side of the business and is considered an expert in ocean mapping. Teledyne CARIS has carved out a solid niche within the marine sector, only to become broader via this new collaboration.

For Hoggarth, the synergies were clear: fusing the two companies reflects the natural evolution of the geospatial industry.

New opportunities for customers “What’s new about this model is our ability to streamline and centralize our service provision, offering more to both new and existing customers across the spectrum of needs,” comments Hoggarth. “Having a single contact point across all requirements means efficiency gains in terms of workflow, saving time and ensuring our customers get what they need earlier. The needs of professionals are evolving to no longer focus solely on land or sea, and both geospatial and maritime enterprises are increasingly

expected to offer a more comprehensive suite of services. Bringing Optech and CARIS together enables leveraging the worldleading expertise of both companies, ensuring customers can take full advantage of their ability to provide targeted solutions for land, air and sea. We see new opportunities to connect existing hydrographic customers to the broader geospatial sector. We can offer solutions to a new spectrum of clients on the topographic mapping side through the latest geospatial workflow software including tools like artificial intelligence (AI).”

06-09-21 15:37

Hoggarth explains that he is most excited about the new possibilities the merger provides for Teledyne customers to gain a competitive advantage in terms of what they can deliver. “For example, processes will be further streamlined: customers can log their high-density, high-resolution Lidar data, store it in the CARIS cloud for immediate processing and analysis, and then move into downstream product creation workflow. This gives a clear operational advantage. This, in turn, enables our customers to offer added value to their own clients in terms of the breadth of services they’re able to provide.”

Consequences of the merger for the teams Joining forces means the teams are gaining new skills across disciplines and ensures retention of the field-specific expertise they’re known for. The market is familiar with the strong customer service and support model, from engineering to sales, and that will not change. Teledyne’s arsenal includes hydrographers, physicists, surveyors and GIS professionals, as well as AI specialists, engineers and computer scientists. Going forward, as the market transitions to digital, the skills and expertise needed most in the field are at the intersection of traditional domain knowledge and the diverse aspects of computer science. “There is an evolution underway in industry, and enterprises that can recruit highly skilled teams with expertise across the geospatial spectrum will be the ones to engage with,” suggests Hoggarth.

“Our teams are industry professionals who understand both hardware and software and we see this as an opportunity to develop holistic solutions for hydrographic and topographic mapping.”

Delivering a competitive advantage Teledyne Geospatial will have access to the full range of sonar, Lidar and software solutions, enabling customers to gain full value from their Teledyne investment with the most advanced sensors in both ocean and land environments. “In that respect, we are unique,” notes Hoggarth. “Whilst some providers have topographic sensors with integrated software, even bathymetric Lidar, our software workflow goes much further; others are not involved in the final delivery of data, whereas we have end-to-end capability.

16-17-18_teledyne.indd 17

Ease of data collection through to final products is enhanced with efficiency-driving AI algorithms and real-time quality control. (Image courtesy: Mike Stecher)

This is a huge advantage for our customers who will be able to integrate workflows, create efficiencies and reduce silos. We will reduce the need for separate infrastructure for land and sea since we can support our customers on both. This is strategic for our customers at the business level but also makes life easier in challenging and extreme environments such as the Arctic, for example.

This industry acumen means Teledyne Geospatial is the ideal partner for a full range of projects.”

Helping surveyors to get ahead of the game The role of the surveyor is still evolving rapidly, which calls for a different set of skills – not least due to the transition to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’).

“For survey businesses to keep up, they must consider how many pilots they need, whether to hire a land surveyor and what the best Lidar investments might be,” comments Hoggarth. “Hiring a land surveyor will increasingly require knowledge of dronebased data collection, and our compact Lidar solutions will be particularly relevant for these customers, who would have conducted conventional land-based surveying in the past.” The theme of integration between land and sea continues to emerge: geospatial teams should be interested in the sea as well

as the land, covering both green and red lasers. “Why would we map a mountain range, but neglect the river that comes through it?” asks Hoggarth. “Armed with comprehensive data, we can help our customers deliver a broader range of insights on flood prediction, environmental impacts and other services.”

Key emerging industry trends Teledyne Geospatial is anticipating the future of AI technologies with its newly-launched Mira AI Marketplace concept. AI can be leveraged to meet new challenges, enabling enterprises to shift from being productcentric to data-centric, introducing possibilities for enterprises to expand their product and service portfolios. This could contribute to business growth and greater client satisfaction due to a wider suite of service offerings and faster project delivery timeframes. “At Teledyne, we recognize the immense expertise within the field and aim to harness this, embedding AI, machine learning and deep learning within a range of our systems and solutions to capitalize particularly on the automatic and data processing benefits offered by AI,” states Hoggarth.

There are ample other solutions that will be critical to solving the ever-more complex

problems faced by geospatial professionals, such as compact Lidar systems lightweight enough to be deployed on a drone.

Survey-grade solutions developed for accuracy and quality will be increasingly essential, and integrated solutions that make life easier for surveyors are a must. Teledyne understands these challenges and has developed workflows that support this, considering key factors including where the data resides and accounting for asset management. “For example, Teledyne Geospatial provides AI for asset management and tracking via the cloud, bathymetric Lidar, building on the natural synergies between CARIS and Optech,” he continues. “The tools and technologies that are available to the hydrographic field are indeed transferable into topographic mapping systems, such as the Galaxy range of sensors that provide superior capability for complex terrain like forestry mapping, for example.

These are compact, powerful and precise, even to the level of identifying tree species and differentiating canopies to understand forest floor/undergrowth.”

What to expect from Teledyne Geospatial in the years to come Integrated solutions lie at the heart of Teledyne Geospatial. The offering will include

turnkey systems, Lidar, sonar, integrated workflows and a range of systems and solutions that support full, precision data collection. Teledyne Geospatial will also work closely with Teledyne Marine, in particular concerning sonar systems; both sonar and Lidar can be logged in CARIS’s recently launched Onboard360 acquisition software.

“With Onboard360, our near-real-time and autonomous data acquisition and processing solution, it will become possible to create a common workflow using AI and cloud-native technology,” says Hoggarth. “For example, customers will be able to log data to the cloud with their hardware, streamlining their product timeline. A streamlined workflow for customers is a central, underpinning goal of Teledyne Geospatial.”

New product developments in the short term Hoggarth regards software as a key differentiator in combination with customers’ hardware: “We will be releasing new software products in the coming months which will allow users to get the most out of their sensors. One example of this is the recently launched CZMIL SuperNova, which combines Optech’s powerful bathymetric Lidar with CARIS’s comprehensive processing software.” Terratec AS, a leading Norwegian

mapping company, has purchased and flown CZMIL SuperNova for airborne survey projects, collecting and processing marine coastal zone base maps and mapping arctic lakes. Working with the CZMIL SuperNova sensor and AI techniques, they conducted automatic discrimination and noise classification capitalizing on the system’s advanced capabilities and software workflow integration.

The company will be presenting itself under the new Teledyne Geospatial banner and revealing CZMIL SuperNova – as well as discussing other upcoming combined solutions – at key industry events including InterGeo in September, Ocean Business in October and GEO Business in November.

Trimble X7 Scanner

3D Imaging Proves its Worth in Preparing to Repair a Spanish Football Stadium

Scanning Gets Into the Game In Spain, football stadiums are often as beloved as their local teams, so it pays to maintain and upgrade these significant sources of pride and revenue. One such stadium is the Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo. With the city council aiming to repair it, a local architecture engineering firm’s use of laser scanning not only precisely identified structural wear, but also revealed previously unknown deformation.

Built in 2001, Oviedo’s Carlos Tartiere stadium is home to the city’s Real Oviedo football team, a second-division club that has been engaging fans for 95 years. As one of the most important clubs in Spain’s northern Asturias region, loyal supporters fill the 30,000-seat venue to near capacity on match days. And as they’ve watched the games, they’ve also witnessed the creeping deterioration of the stadium.

Rectangular in construction, the Carlos Tartiere is made of reinforced concrete that stretches 180 metres long and 100 metres wide.

Standing at 40 metres high, the structure is topped by a partial, open-air roof comprised of reinforced steel beams covered by a sheet of metal. Over time, water has leaked through small holes around the screws affixing the roof, rusting beams and seats.

The Oviedo city council, which owns the stadium, recognized that it could become a safety risk and issued a call to assess the damage. The council wanted to understand what assets were impacted, to what degree and what solutions they could use to resolve the problem.

Simetría Gestíon, a local architecture engineering firm that specializes in 3D modelling, saw this as a chance to show the public authority how laser scanning can be used to assess structural damage. In addition, the 3D imaging could inform a refurbishment plan and long-term maintenance programme.

Getting Real Simetría engineers Víctor Nicieza and Eduardo Alonso took their Trimble X7 scanner to the stadium in November 2020 to capture one upper area that covers three-

42

42-43_trimblecasestudy.indd 42

06-09-21 14:24

seating sections where the structure had weathered significantly.

Setting up the X7 for their first scan, they used Trimble Perspective field software to tie into three existing control points to correctly position the point cloud. They then scanned their way from the field to the upper seating rows to collect every visible feature of the structure. Each time they moved to a new position, the X7 automatically levelled and calibrated itself and the Perspective software automatically registered each scan, allowing the team to review each one in 3D before moving on.

The team completed 44 set-ups in total, including 5 from a narrow platform just below the roof; in 5 hours they captured 753 individual roof beams and 80 million 3D points.

42-43_trimblecasestudy.indd 43

“Two of the biggest benefits of the X7 are its self-levelling and automatic scan registration,” said Nicieza. “The ability to set it down and start scanning in seconds, automatically register the scan and then check it right there saves us hours in the field. And, it ensures that we capture all the features we need the first time.”

After refining and colouring the data in Perspective, they imported it into Trimble RealWorks software to create a point cloud accurate to 3mm. They then produced a 3D, colour-coded model of the structure, naming every single beam and matching the position of each to the point cloud. Through this exercise, they identified 140 roof beams that need some level of attention, be it painting or full replacement. They also discovered signs of deformation – an unwelcome surprise.

Nicieza and Alonso presented the point cloud, photos and model to the city council, showing precisely which beams are rusted and where they are, and pointing out the deformation.

“With 3D laser scanning, we could show them exactly how much damage there is, which is measurable and calculable,” said Nicieza. “They understood how this information could help them develop a specific refurbishment plan based on only what needs to be repaired. That’s very valuable.”

Based on the helpful information, the council is planning to develop a ‘digital twin’ of the stadium, which will require a precise as-built 3D model. Having proven the precision, speed and cost value of laser scanning, Simetría is waiting to ‘suit up’ for the survey.

Resepi

RESEPI – The Complete Lidar & RGB Payload Solution Inertial Labs has designed the Remote Sensing Payload Instrument – RESEPI – as a cost-effective solution for extremely accurate remote sensing applications. RESEPI utilizes a high-performance Inertial Labs GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System (INS) with NovAtel RTK/PPK dual antenna GNSS receiver, integrated with a Linuxbased processing platform. The processing platform enables data-logging to a USB thumb-drive and supports an external cellular/radio modem for receiving RTCM corrections. RESEPI can be used with commercially available Lidar scanners such as Velodyne, Quanergy, Ouster, RIEGL, Livox and Hesai. All components are mounted into one compact and lightweight enclosure and bore-sighted. Point cloud software is fully automated to provide optimized PPK results.

Completely Modular A third-party GNSS receiver and Lidar can be used, while Inertial Labs provides everything else required for assembling, calibrating and bore-sighting RESEPI, including training. This allows clients to maintain existing relationships and meet local production requirements, while retaining full control for customization.

sighting, post-processing (PPK) and point cloud software utilizing the Waypoint post-processing engine from Hexagon | NovAtel, are all available upon purchase of the RESEPI. In this way, clients and valueadded resellers can focus on growing their business rather than developing the payload product.

RESEPI Produces Georeferenced Lidar Point Clouds A Lidar point cloud is a collection of millions, or even billions, of points that are used to accurately map an environment in a way similar to how a pointillism painting creates a picture. Each of these points has a location in a known coordinate system (local or global),

along with a value for the intensity that quantifies the amount of light energy that is recorded by the scanner. A Lidar point cloud is the product of sensor fusion across a GPS-aided INS and a Lidar scanner. Each sensor plays a critical role in how the Lidar payload functions and the applicability of its point cloud output.

How RESEPI Transforms Businesses For many applications, one of the first steps in the post-processing of any point cloud is to classify the points. Point classification is the process of identifying the type of object that the point is reflected from. For instance, if a laser pulse is reflected from a tree, the resultant point could be classified as vegetation. Point classification categories can be as broad as ground vs. non-ground, or as specific as the type of structure/feature that the laser pulse was reflected from. Using Lidar processing software such as the ROCK Cloud, users can easily classify points as a variety of features.

Data Analysis The next step is data analysis. Point classification algorithms group points together based on their spatial-based and echo-based features. A Lidar point’s spatial features include the point’s environment, height features, eigenvalue features, local plane features, plane slope and more.

Echo-based features such as terrain echo and vegetation echo are determined using the return pulse from the surface. The return number (first, second, last, etc.) also plays a role in determining a pulse’s echo-based features. One or both of these features are integral in the accurate automatic classification of vegetation, buildings and ground surfaces.

Point classification provides the foundation to create models such as DTMs, DEMs and DSMs. It also makes it easy to obtain just the bare Earth data for DEMs and DTMs, while also allowing for DSMs to be created by including points from man-made and natural features.

DTM, DSM and DEM A DTM provides a digital description of a surface with a set of heights over two-dimensional points on a reference

76-77_inertiallabscasestudy.indd 77

Vegetation point cloud.

surface. This reference surface can be an ellipsoidal, geoidal or mean sea level height or a geodetic datum. These unique heights are a set of approximate values between these points and a reference surface. DTMs are the only representative of the bare ground of the terrain and therefore do not measure heights of vegetation or man-made features. DTMs are often mathematically represented as 2D raster or matrix grids, irregularly distributed 2D points, 1D profiles, contours/lines of constant elevation and Fourier series. DTMs can be used to calculate derived values such as volumes, slopes, contours, drainage and gravitational attraction. Values such as these are instrumental in the planning of roads, railways, drainage, inundations and much more.

A DSM, similarly to a DTM, is a collection of points with different height values. The main difference between a DSM and a DTM is that a DSM is composed of more than just bare Earth heights, as heights also come from natural and man-made features. This is especially useful in vegetation management applications as it is possible to see where and to what extent vegetation is encroaching on a structure such as a utility line. It is also useful in urban planning applications as DSMs can determine how proposed buildings would obstruct the view of city residents.

A DEM is a raster grid of the bare Earth referenced to a vertical datum. DEMs only contain ground points and exclude man-made and natural structures. Formerly derived from topographic maps, DEMs are increasingly derived from high-resolution Lidar. Since DEMs are a collection of ground points with varying height values, they are especially prevalent in hydrology in the delineation of watersheds and calculation of flow direction and accumulation. DEMs are also helpful for analysing terrain stability in

Utility Station point cloud.

high slope areas. This can provide valuable information for users looking to build structures such as highways or buildings in these areas.

The ROCK Cloud provides vegetation management on-demand. It takes 3D point clouds and rapidly analyses them to find locations and measurements of vegetation encroaching on power line assets. This data can be communicated as a classified LAS point cloud, map icons or SHP files.

Conclusion Data collected by Lidar can provide valuable metrics for a wide variety of applications.

From topographic mapping to asset inspection and site monitoring, the Inertial Labs RESEPI is a quick and efficient way to generate models of an environment. Beyond producing a nice-looking 3D model, Lidar can provide actionable data that is of immediate value to any inspection or mapping service. With the advances in modern Lidar data, data can be displayed in a way that is almost identical to how it appears in reality and provides comparable accuracy to field surveys.
