Has GIS become 3D - Yet?

Craig Clouet
Esri, Honolulu, HI

3D GIS
Monday March 5, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

Over the past few years, being able to view GIS data in 3D or 2.5D has become popular. Web applications like Google Earth, Pictometry, and Esri's 3D Analyst have made progress towards true 3D. Has GIS made it to true 3D, 3D analysis, and 3D editing? If not when?

Creating Bathymetry Maps With Coarse Data - Bayesian Kriging Using Open Source Tools

Monday March 5, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

Demonstration of conditional simulation (using Bayesian statistics) to estimate the depth values from the point depth data derived from navigational charts. The methods outlined use open source tools (GeoR, R, GRASS) to generate spatial products.

True 3D GIS Buildings: Honolulu Area 3D buildings created with 4-inch accuracy and roof details including superstructures

Monday March 5, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

CyberCity 3D has created a detailed 3D city model of the Waikiki area including residential and commercial buildings in the Airport, McCully–Moiliili and Diamond Head – Kapahulu neighborhoods. There are a total of 6,333 structures modeled for 3D GIS analysis, planning and visualization. A prime application is the Rail Transit project. Details of the model will be presented including measurements for impervious surfaces, solar and roof engineering.

LiDAR Data Management and Exploitation

LiDAR for Infrastructure and Terrain Mapping
Monday March 5, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

Is your agency utilizing or considering using LiDAR data? If so, you know that LiDAR technology has become a valuable tool in a variety of applications where an accurate surface model is required. The availability of LiDAR data has proliferated both here in Hawaii and elsewhere. The availability of LiDAR data is resulting in a profusion of very large datasets requiring solutions for management and exploitation. During this session, we will highlight the benefits of LiDAR data, and explore local, state, federal and DOT workflows using LiDAR data (and other data types) in response to a natural disaster. We will demonstrate the managing, exploitation and dissemination of LiDAR in emergency planning, recovery and rebuilding. In addition, we will also showcase how LiDAR data analysis can be performed in GIS, remote sensing and photogrammetry applications.

Maximizing the Benefits of LiDAR Data in GIS

LiDAR for Infrastructure and Terrain Mapping
Monday March 5, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

This presentation introduces GIS professionals to the many uses of airborne LiDAR and how to utilize GIS software to extract valuable information from the data as well as combine it with existing geospatial information. Application examples for energy, natural resources, and critical infrastructure mapping will be reviewed to highlight the possibilities and challenges of working with this new & exciting source of highly accurate 3D information.

Dynamic GIS

Mladen Stojic

Intergraph, Norcross, GA

Real-Time Data Acquisition
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

Geospatial data is fuel, that when sparked by change on the earth's surface, drives the Dynamic GIS to exploit the wealth of content in the 5D Information Cloud. This keynote will evaluate geospatial market trends, including the evolution of remote sensing and the merging of geospatial technologies. There is now a synthesis of desktop, web and mobile applications with the ability to rapidly transform raw data into actionable information, and deliver this information anywhere. This includes on-demand web-based geoprocessing, integrated vector and raster-based spatial modeling, change detection and data revision based workflows based on the fusion of imagery, point cloud and GIS data, ultimately providing live-feeds of event-specific, time-specific, and location-specific information about our changing world.

Craig Clouet
Esri, Honolulu, HI

Conference-Related Workshop
Thursday March 8, 2012 - 8:00 am to 4:30 pm

This full-day workshop will cover managing and using lidar point cloud data with ArcGIS 10.1. By attending this workshop GIS users will learn how to manage lidar data, use ArcGIS for 2D/3D visualization and analysis, as well as share lidar data through webservices.

This hands-on workshop presents lidar data management strategies in ArcGIS. Topics include when to use LAS Datasets, terrain Datasets, and Mosaic Datasets. New tools and functionality in the latest version of AcrGIS 10.1; and techniques for making lidar data more accessible using the desktop and web cloud services.

Attendees should have a basic knowledge of ArcGIS desktop.

This is a conference-related event that HIGICC is helping to publicize. The event is free, but separate registration is required.

To register, or for more information, please email Connie Clinton at
