Packed ILMF Session
2. More Data, More Problems
It’s great that geiger-mode and single-photon LiDAR can produce so much data so quickly, and that half the earth will be capturing 3D on their cell phones. But what do we do with that amount of data? We still don’t know where we’re going to store it, how we’ll integrate data from different sensors, or, most importantly, how we’re going to turn all this data into actionable information.
An attendee summed it up best with a question he asked the panel at the final session. He suggested that we are seeing a paradigm shift in the hardware world (just like everyone says) but we aren’t seeing a similar shift in our understanding of how to process what we capture. I’ll cosign that sentiment.
