What do you know about High Definition Surveying?

Join us for our first meeting of 2015!

A far cry from just a few years ago when measurements on all cases were collected using rulers and rolling wheels, new technology has allowed engineers and others to quickly collect accurate, comprehensive data in three-dimensions. Steven M. Schorr, P.E., President of DJS Associates and a nationally recognized board-certified consultant in accident reconstruction, highway safety and traffic engineering, will present a fascinating seminar on High-Definition Surveying (HDS) laser scans. HDS laser scanning has opened a whole new world for any engineer, scientist or technical person who needs to collect accurate, comprehensive three-dimensional data. HDS laser scanning can be utilized to collect data from vehicular collisions; fires; building collapses; slip and fall events; and any other type of case that warrants accurate measurements. The HDS laser scans provide invaluable data for analysis purposes (especially when the data is collected soon after the events occurred). The HDS laser scan data also provides a foundation of data (collected with unparalleled comprehension and accuracy) to allow the expert, the attorney/client as well as the trier of fact to view the events in a three-dimensional environment. Commercially available software allows for the creation of a three-dimensional “real-world” environment that allows one to view the event or scene from almost any orientation.

The seminar will discuss, through use of actual case examples, how the data is collected; how the data is processed; and most importantly how the data in utilized in actual cases examples of all types. The seminar will also focus on the accuracy of the data, how to get the data into evidence and the cost of this new, must have technology.
