After six years of airborne LiDAR surveys, the classified point cloud of Switzerland – swissSURFACE3D – is now available for the entire Swiss territory. On this occasion, Dr. Philipp Urech presented academic research from the Large-scale Virtualization and Modeling Lab (LVML), complemented by practice-oriented examples of his landscape design approach using precision modelling. The talk was part of the colloquium series of the Swiss Federal Office of Topography. (Slides and recording – at timestamp 1h 08m – are available in German)
