3DGeo Data Acquisition Workgroup
The Data Acquisition Workgroup of the 3D Geomatics Committee promotes acquisition of foundational 3D data for Minnesota. It engages stakeholders, provides guidance and writes standards, defines value and benefits of 3D data, defines management and dissemination needs, bridges disparate lidar procurements with State Plan guided initiatives, and serves as liaison to USGS 3D Nation and USGS 3DEP programs.
