Canada WMS and Ottawa, CA LIDAR - Makai Voyager 3D / 4D Geospatial Data Visualization Software

LIDAR is an increasingly popular optical remote sensing technology that can map out the surface of a target by illuminating it with light. These light points can be aggregated into large datasets that define the shapes of buildings, objects and terrain, and can be geo-referenced to their appropriate location above the earth.

Makai Voyager allows users to load and interact with large LIDAR datasets, and supports overlaying LIDAR with other data types, such as web map services and elevation data.

This scene will demonstrate how to load and visualize a LIDAR dataset overlaid onto a map. After watching this video, you should be able to: stream LIDAR data from a remote server; stream web map services (WMS) from a remote server; and view and interact with LIDAR data.

The datasets used in this scene are the default SRTM30_PLUS elevation dataset, as well as a WMS layer of vector features for Canada, and a LIDAR dataset called The Wright State 100 of a section of Ottawa, Canada.
