M. Hernández Cordero and me are organizing a session on airborne lidar data capture and processing at #CAA2026 in Vienna. Submit your abstract and join us in S51 2026.caaconference.org/conference-s...
screenshot of the shortened abstract of S51: S51: From Satellite to Unmanned Platforms, the Computation of LIDAR Dataset for Archaeological and Heritage Projects This session would like to explore different applications of the LIDAR, shifting the focus from the overall research results to the previous technical phase within a project. The idea is to discuss/debate the use of LIDAR for heritage projects based on: - what platform do they use (Satellite, plane or UAV) and why (resolution, cost, accessibility flexibility) - how this might affect the final product (point cloud, raster) and the research questions of the project - new processing methodologies (filtering vegetation, noise removal, feature detection, software comparison/alternatives, …), and encountered problems in the data acquisition and the post processing phase (filtering vegetation, identifying features…) We invite researchers interested in computation workflows, comparison of surveying techniques, cost-effect, quality of recorded data and setbacks during processing to present in this session. We welcome talks dealing not only with successes in the application of LIDAR but also with difficulties and failures that occur when delivering data and results, “the process of learning a craft often involves making mistakes along the way”. Overall, through this session we wish to focus in the exchange of experiences and discussion of senior/experienced scientist and technicians as well as junior researchers regarding the use of LIDAR for their projects. We believe that this topic might open new avenues and approaches to guide projects interested in applying this technique in the future.

Dieser Horror ist nicht in Worte zu fassen. Was heute in einer Schule in Graz passiert ist, trifft unser Land mitten ins Herz. Es waren Jugendliche, die ihr ganzes Leben vor sich hatten. Eine Lehrperson, die sie auf ihrem Weg begleitet hat. Es gibt nichts, was in diesem Moment den Schmerz lindern kann, den die Eltern, die Großeltern, die Geschwister, die Freundinnen und Freunde der Ermordeten fühlen. Österreich trauert. Und in dieser Stunde stehen wir zusammen. Wir stehen zusammen, um dem Schmerz miteinander standzuhalten. Wir stehen zusammen, um für all jene da zu sein, die verletzt sind. Heute und in den schweren Tagen, die kommen, wird unser Land zeigen, dass in diesem Miteinander unsere Stärke liegt. (vdb)
