The presentation will focus on the collaboration between Fugro, a global geospatial company, and Pepperdine University, a private university in Southern California, to create a digital twin of the university’s campus. The presentation will cover the data collection and processing methods used to create the digital twin, including aerial lidar, photogrammetry, and GIS analysis.
The benefits of having a digital twin of the campus will be highlighted, including improved asset management, enhanced safety and security planning, and the ability to simulate and optimize campus operations. Additionally, the presentation will showcase potential applications of the digital twin, such as virtual campus tours, disaster response planning, and energy efficiency analysis.
Overall, the presentation will demonstrate how collaboration between industry and academia can lead to innovative solutions for complex challenges, and how digital twins can improve the management and operation of physical assets and systems.
Last year the state of Connecticut acquired a suite of statewide geographic datasets including 3 inch, tide coordinated aerial imagery, high-density Lidar (minimum of 15 points per square meter), bare earth elevation (2 ft DEM), 1 ft contours, building footprints, and 3D buildings. The data processing is nearing completion and the CT State GIS Office and its partners are implementing plans to make it available and accessible to all interested users. The presentation will focus on the technical aspects of making data available including services, viewers, and download, as well as the outreach aspects including presentations, webinars, help materials, and the ability for any user to have their questions answered.
