InterGEO 2016: Day One (Tuesday) Pictures
Well, It is midnight and I am nearly dead tired. But I wanted to share my initial thoughts on InterGEO and some pictures.
Beerleg Event: So far I have not found another person from the forum, however I spent 20 minutes with Dr. Ashjae (Javad) and tomorrow I am going to have him make a post here (so he will be a new member), then I will try to get him to have a beer with me. A bit constructed, but a Beerleg Event non-the-less. Michael Glutting is here of course, I think he might consent to having a picture taken with a beer on the table also.
Picures: [ Checkout my blog ] If you click on the pictures, you will get bigger images. Sorry, I just dumped them online.
Thoughts: Wow, every single company you have ever thought about is here. And it is GO BIG or GO HOME. The number of UAV’s is INSANE. Completely insane. I mean bat-turds-crazy. Big ones small ones, GIANT ones as big as my pickup truck with gas engines.
There are a pile of Pix4D like companies. There are a lot of lidar platforms. There are a lot of people. I have seen a lot of friends that I have not seen for many years.
There are ton of new players. And old players too. SatLab has a GIANT booth. Javad has a giant booth. The consolidated UniStrong/Hemisphere/Stonex has two giant booths. The Trimble / Spectra Precision booth is huge (I am going to run out of words that describe crazy big, sorry.)
The UAV RTK new guys ‘Swift Navigation‘ have small booth and released a new L1/L2 $600 RTK board. Very small, very light. They have poached a few GNSS engineers from the big guys and might make a big wave. Theoretically this would drop the price of the GNSS engine from ~$2000 to $600 which might might make $1200 network rovers possible.
There are a lot of Chinese companies selling monitoring mirrors and RTK. A lot (and consider the source on this.)
The Beer here is of most excellent quality. Much of the food has been amazing.
Anyway, it is way past my bed time and need to be up at 6:00 am to workout.
