We had the distinct honor of hosting Dr. David F. Maune at our OIWS Lab, a figure widely recognized as the ‘Father of LiDAR’ by both the International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF) and LiDAR Magazine. Renowned for his pioneering contributions to geospatial science, photogrammetry, and LiDAR technology, Dr. Maune’s visit provided an unparalleled opportunity for intellectual exchange and future collaboration. Dr. Maune graciously gifted us a hardcopy of his groundbreaking book, ‘Digital Elevation Model Technologies and Applications: The DEM Users Manual,’ enriching our academic repertoire and serving as an invaluable resource for our research team.
Our lab members had the privilege of presenting their most recent findings to Dr. Maune, sparking insightful and constructive discussions. The visit laid a strong foundation for potential future collaborations that hold significant promise for impacting both academia and industry. We are enthusiastic about the symbiotic possibilities that emerged during this visit and look forward to a fruitful partnership.
