Primary Line of Business (eg: topo survey, civil engineering, etc.)

2.Are you familiar with the acquisition and processing of topographic and bathymetric lidar data?

Fully Conversant

Limited Experience

Handled some, but to no great extent

Some topo, but no bathy

Not at all

3.Do you currently collect or use topo-bathy lidar data?

Yes

No

4.If you answered no, can you tell us why not?

5.What market are you looking for your topo-bathy system to support? (Tick all that apply)

Support other topographic and/or hydrographic work

Nautical Charting

Coastal Habitat Mapping

Coastal Engineering (dredging, sand source, cable/pipe lay, etc.)

Accretion/Erosion/Change Detection Studies

Aquaculture/Marine Biology

Recreational Activities

Cadastral (topographic and marine boundaries, etc.)

Renewal Energy

Conservation Projects

6.Are you familiar with State/Government Agency and/or International Hydrographic Standards?

Fully Conversant

Aware of where to look but need help explaining them

Aware but with no real understanding

Not at all

7.Are you familiar with State/Government Agency and/or International Topographic Standards

Fully Conversant

Aware of where to look but need help explaining them

Aware but with no real understanding

Not at all

8.What price do you expect a topo-bathy lidar system to retail at? ($USD)

Less than $100K

$100K - $200K

$200K - $500K

$500K - $1M

$1M - $1.5M

Over $1.5M

I'm more interested in rental options

9.Are you interested in long-term or extended warranties?

Yes

No

10.To suit your anticipated aircraft support, how large would you expect such a system to be?

Up to 30lbs/13kg; small suitcase, 1-2 man team

Up to 80lbs/36kg; large suitcase, 2-4 man team

Larger and heavier than above, full survey team support

Smaller and lighter than above, one-man operation and processing

11.What do you consider to be an "average" sized survey?

Measured in acres

1-10km sqkm

10-100km sqkm

100-1000km sqkm

Regional/National scale

12.How long per survey would you expect your team to be in the field (including deployment/return to base)

Just a day at a time or less

2-5 days (working week)

Up to a month

Several months at a time

13.How many days per year would you need to use a topo-bathy lidar system?

Just a few, I'd most likely be looking to rent

10-30 days

30-50 days

50-100 days

Over 100 days/very frequently

14.For Topo data, briefly describe if you can, the point density and accuracy you would want from a topo-bathy system

15.For Bathy data, briefly describe if you can, the point density and accuracy you would want from a topo-bathy system

16.How familiar are you with products derived from topo-bathy lidars?

Very familiar with all potential outputs

Interested to find out but don't know much

Only interested in land elevations and bathymetry

Didn't know there were other products beyond point data

17.How important is it for you to have an associated, market-leading, end-to-end software support package?

Essential

A very attractive option but depends on price

Good to have but not critical

Fine with using 3rd party software as long as the workflow works.
