La Spezia Again

June 16th to 19th - ILRIS MC trials, Hydrographic Institute, La Spezia, Itlay














A day of Applanix POSMV training for the Hydrographic Institute on the wet pod, then 3 days of trails with the motion compensated version of the Optech ILRIS terrestrial laser scanner. This consisted of lifting the launch out of water so the 'boresighting' calibration routine for the laser scanner, sighting targets at various ranges and heights. All sensor offsets were also taken using a Total station. The trial survey, simultaneously collecting SWATHplus and ILRIS data, was undertaken on St Peters Church on a headland between Porto Venere, on the mainland and Isola Palmaria.
