Digital Twins and LIDAR Edting
Speaker: Saber Razmjooei is a co-founder of Lutra Consulting and a dedicated member of the open-source geospatial community.
Saber is best known for his work supporting the QGIS ecosystem and helping in shaping Mergin Maps, a project aimed at simplifying field surveys. He enjoys contributing to the FOSS4G community and remains a firm believer that the best software solutions are built through collaboration and shared knowledge.
Topics! QGIS for Digital Twins: Digital Twins are more than just pretty 3D models; they are living datasets that need to be maintained. Over the past year, Lutra Consulting has led a series of community and privately funded initiatives to move QGIS beyond simple visualization. This talk focuses on the high-impact features we’ve recently integrated into the QGIS core to support true digital twin workflows.
We will take a look at the new native point cloud editing tools, which finally allow users to clean up LiDAR data directly within the 3D map view. We’ll also explore the long-awaited 3D Globe view, which enables seamless transitions from local project sites to global-scale visualizations. Additionally, I’ll cover our work on I3S and 3D Tiles support, ensuring QGIS can consume the massive, streamed datasets common in modern urban modeling.
