Toronto, Canada, December 11, 2012 — Optech, the world leader in the development, manufacture and support of advanced lidar and camera survey instruments, is pleased to announce that it will be holding its third Imaging and Lidar Solutions Conference, ILSC 2013, in Toronto, Canada on June 25-27, 2013 at the Holiday Inn Toronto Yorkdale.  An initial call for presentations will be issued in the coming weeks.

The broad acceptance of lidar data as an essential tool for 3D modeling, mapping and analysis is fostering expanded use into new application spaces, including airborne and mobile corridor mapping, railway asset management, transportation design and construction, long-range glacial modeling from static sensors, and ISR initiatives via UAV platforms.

ILSC 2013 is especially exciting with Optech's recent announcements of the Orion H300 ALTM, Pegasus HA500 release, CS-10000 medium and CS-15000 large format digital cameras, multiple sensor and gyro-stabilizing mounts, and software enhancements. Topics of interest will include enhanced efficiencies and productivity through sensor refinements, complete integrated solutions, real-time displays for complete coverage verification, and multi-sensor flight planning and processing software.

Optech's ILSC 2013 is an open forum for industry professionals to meet and network to discuss best practices and real-world lidar and imaging solutions. This is also your opportunity to meet with Optech product managers to learn more about our products and discuss your specific needs. The conference will be held in Toronto, with easy access to Toronto's vibrant downtown Entertainment District and sports venues.

“Change is very rapid in our industry, and a forum focused on practical solutions to problems is a real benefit to our existing and potential clients,” says Max Elbaz, President, Optech, Inc. ”Optech's airborne, static and mobile lidar systems are well-integrated with camera and software workflows, so we're excited to have you join us to explore real-world issues more deeply.”
