Introducing Vexcel Imaging’s UltraCam Osprey 4.2 Aerial Camera System

1 day ago | geoweeknews.com | Eric Van Rees

Vexcel Imaging recently announced the UltraCam Osprey 4.2, the company's newest generation pan-sharpening based large-format aerial camera system, designed for both nadir and oblique photogrammetric imaging. Key features of the UltraCam Osprey 4.2 include a swath width of over 25,000 pixels in nadir, along with enhanced operational flexibility, reducing flight mission costs and improving area coverage.
Autodesk’s State of Make & Design Report Includes Insights Around AI, Sustainability, and More

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

We talk a lot at Geo Week News about the positive trends around the AEC industry, and there are certainly plenty of them. Demand for work around the world at all levels, and particularly for large infrastructure projects, and technology is both evolving rapidly to address efficiency issues throughout the industry and, crucially, being adopted at higher rates than ever before. However, the industry is certainly not all rosy right now, for some reasons we’ve mentioned and others not as much.
How Global eTraining Keeps Pace with Technological Advancement in the Geospatial and AEC Industries

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

Sponsored by Global eTrainingWhile the AEC industry dealt with years of lagging behind other sectors in terms of technological adoption, resulting in a reputation for being relatively tech-averse, reality has drifted away from that reputation in recent years. Today, AEC firms of all disciplines and sizes are embracing new technological tools, with everything from BIM to digital twins to artificial intelligence to reality capture, among many other innovations, playing central roles in workflows.
From Nice-to-Have to Necessity: The Rise of 3D GIS in Modern Mapping

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

Sponsored by EsriAt the start of his Product Preview presentation for Esri at Geo Week 2025 in February, Esri international sales manager for reality mapping, Arkadiusz Szadkowski talked about the evolution of GIS and its path toward supporting large-scale digital twins. He noted to the crowd that humans interpret the world with two eyes, which allows us to view the world in three dimensions, and how technology is now allowing us to do the same digitally.
Around the 3D, Geospatial, and AEC Industries: Reality Capture, GIS, Construction Technology

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

Every week, we highlight stories from friends around the internet that put a spotlight on the latest from within the geospatial, advanced visualization, and AEC industries. These stories can take many different forms, whether they be about a new innovation or workflow, an interesting and/or unique use case for technology, or a higher-level look at the state of the sector.
Trimble Applanix's Positioning Solutions for Aerial and Land-Based Mapping

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

Sponsored by Trimble ApplanixFor a variety of reasons, drone-based surveying and mapping is becoming more and more commonplace all around the world as accessibility to all of the technology continues to improve. Sensors, particularly lidar systems, are becoming both cheaper and smaller, not only allowing more end users to procure the systems but also allowing sensors powerful enough to return usable data to be used as drone payloads.
The Evolving Landscape of Aerial Mapping Sensors

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Eric Van Rees

Looking broadly at the aerial mapping sensors recently announced, there is a growing trend around miniaturizing sensors without having to sacrificing their power, and in some cases even increasing their power over previous versions. On the one hand, this leads to larger solutions that are capable of integrating multiple cameras and sensors for crewed aerial aircraft, but can also drive application-specific drone payloads and systems.

Earlier this month, Autodesk made a series of announcements around updates to products for their customers in the AEC industry. One of the leading software companies for AEC design workflows, their annual product updates are always of interest to those in the industry regarding the new capabilities of products that are used by many in the sector on a daily basis. This year, the company announced updates to ReCap Pro, Civil 3D, and Revit.
Teledyne Geospatial’s Fathom Combines Topo, Bathy, and Multispectral Camera Capabilities

2 weeks ago | geoweeknews.com | Eric Van Rees

At Geo Week 2025, held this past February in Denver, Teledyne Geospatial announced the launch of Fathom, a coastal mapping solution that overcomes common challenges related to the cost and technical complexity of topo-bathymetric surveys. On one hand, there is a desire and market demand for topobathymetric surveys, but on the other hand, there is intimidation, fear, and concern that they will be cost-prohibitive and too complicated to produce a viable data product.
