The new four-channel bathymetric sensor redefines what airborne hydrographic surveying can cover — and how fast Image: Leica Geosystems/Hexagon

Airborne bathymetric lidar has always been a physics argument. The physics are largely fixed: green laser light at 532 nanometers penetrates water in ways that infrared does not, but the water column itself attenuates the signa...

The geospatial industry has never been short on capability. That said, industry leaders have learned to look beyond the technology, to lead with problems instead of solutions. The most successful seek to find the places where people are improvising, stitching together workarounds, doing something difficult and expensive because no better option exists, and to start there. Ima...

At Geo Week 2026 in Denver, one of the industry’s most experienced voices in multi-sensor positioning argues that the real transformation isn’t in any single instrument — it’s in how the instruments learn to work together. Image: Trimble

Mohamed Mostafa has been thinking about sensor fusion longer than most people in the geospatial industry have been using the term. As ...
