Many thanks to Howard for running a great Survey and Cartography session at NSS Convention this year. Despite an errant fire alarm in mid session, all of the talks went off without a hitch and were well received. The wrap up session on digital cartography and cave survey round-tripping was also an unqualified success. If you would like to see more open discussion on survey and cartography at NSS Convention next year please let Howard or myself know!
I also said that I would post a link to the beta version of the virtual cave tour we have been working on for the Mammoth Cave Historic Tour. This is based on the terrestrial LiDAR data collected, and only represents about 500,000 of the nearly 20 million points collected.
The model is beta and slow to load. Please be patient.... http://fragileearthstudios.com/mammoth.html
Navigation is by arrow keys or mouse. Use spacebar to jump over rocks, E to fly and C to land.
Cheers,
