Overview
Parks and recreation facilities help to promote economic, social, and environmental benefits for cities, towns, counties and states. Data about these facilities is, by its nature, spatial in character, so applying geographic location and GIS technology to workflow data allows for innovative, time and resource-saving solutions. Visitor attendance can be better monitored, managed and predicted, allowing for best allocation of assets and funding.
Attend this webinar to learn about some of the key benefits of incorporating geospatial technologies into your outdoor recreation management. Concepts to be covered include:​
-
Monitoring and planning

Voxelmaps is building the world’s most accurate 4D volumetric model of the earth, combining high resolution scans using the latest LiDAR and HD imaging sensors, fused with temporal data. The result is a new form of mapping which provides superior levels of accuracy and information of the areas mapped. Voxelmaps has developed a technology that splits the planet into a dense matrix of multi-resolution voxels, each voxel has a permanent location and address. The automated feature extraction is performed using Voxelmaps’ developed AI software tools.
