SUMMARY:MALSCE: UAV Mapping Educational Series ( Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:UAV Mapping Educational Series\nThursdays\, January 13 & 27\, February 10 & 24\, and March 10\, 2022\n8:00 AM – 10:00 AM\nZoom Video Webinar \nThe UAV Mapping Educational Series is comprised of five two-hour webinars that are designed to teach professionals about the concepts behind UAVs\, mission planning\, data collection\, data processing\, georeferencing\, quality assurance\, lidar alternatives\, attributing the information\, national standards\, and products. While directly related to traditional fixed wing large camera format photogrammetry\, the use of UAV in producing similar products has dramatic differences due to no pilot on board\, smaller format handheld cameras\, multi-ray overlaps of photos\, self-calibration of cameras\, automated pixel matching\, and automated classification. The use of airborne GNSS and inertial measuring system (IMU) sensors has changed the traditional georeferencing problem dramatically. \nIn addition to lectures\, the series’ featured sessions will utilize example data and example software\, and allow time for questions and answers. Each two-hour session will include a ten-minute break and a quiz to measure participant learning. Registrants who view all five sessions and pass all administered quizzes will receive a certificate of completion. For participant convenience\, the first four sessions will be recorded and made available between classes. Participation in the live fifth session is mandatory. Subjects covered during each session are as follows: \nSession 1: Flight planning\, scale of raw photography vs. focal length vs. pixel resolution vs. camera angle\, percent overlap considerations\, limits in forested areas and at building edges\, fixed wing vs. rotor vs. hybrid UAV\, use of gimbal mount\, ASPRS accuracy standards and client needs.\nSession 2: Automated image matching\, concepts of aerotriangulation\, measuring control images\, quality indicators from the bundle adjustment.\nSession 3: Airborne GPS-IMU possibilities\, optimizing ground control and its measurement\, using ground control vs. coordinate comparisons as a quality assessment\, relationship to ASPRS accuracy standards.\nSession 4: UAV Lidar as an alternative to photography\, Lidar advantages and disadvantages\, Lidar intensity returns to color\, control measurement with Lidar\, point density requirements\, bare earth vs. digital surface models.\nSession 5: Automated classification processes\, manual classification processes\, converting .las to vector information\, helping a client understand deliverables and language in the deliverables. \nSpeaker: Raymond J. Hintz\, PLS\, PhD\, Professor\, University of Maine\nRaymond J. Hintz is a professor of surveying engineering technology at the University of Maine\, program coordinator for the B.S. program in surveying engineering technology and graduate coordinator for the Professional Science Masters in Engineering and Business surveying engineering concentration. His research interests lie in automation of data collection and processing of surveying and photogrammetric information. Dr. Hintz has published more than 50 articles in journal and conference proceedings related to surveying\, and is a registered land surveyor in the states of Maine and Florida. He is active in promoting UAS technology\, with a portion of two Photogrammetry courses he teaches dedicated to surveying and mapping using UAV technology. He also conducted nine one-day seminars to various organizations on UAV’s in the last two years. In addition to his academic experience\, Dr. Hintz is recognized for his role in developing several software packages including the Cadastral Electronic Field Book (CEFB)\, Cadastral Measurement Management (CMM) and Geographic Measurement Management (GMM). The CEFB enables automatic entry of measurement and automated field note information into CMM\, a computation tool for survey and analysis of cadastral surveys. GMM was adopted as the approved tool for development of the Bureau of Land Management’s Geographic Coordinate Data Base. \nRegistration Information\nRegistration Fees: $500/person for members*\, $750/person for non-members. \n*  Members of CALS\, MSLS\, NHLSA\, NYSAPLS\, RISPLS and VSLS can attend for the MALSCE Member rate. \nRegistration Deadline: Friday\, January 7\, 2022. Individual webinar registrations and payment via Visa\, MasterCard\, or American Express can be made above. To register online for this webinar at the MALSCE member rate\, log in using your MALSCE assigned username and password. If you do not know your member login information or if you need help registering call 617/227-5551. You can also complete the registration form below and register via fax or regular mail. Fax your registration form with credit card information to 617/227-6783. Mail your registration with a credit card information or a check (payable to “MALSCE”) to: MALSCE\, One Walnut Street\, Boston\, MA 02108. No refunds will be given after the Friday\, January 7\, 2022\, registration deadline. All registrants will be billed regardless of series participation status. This series is offered for the benefit of MALSCE members and other interested registrants. Anyone discovered viewing a session without having registered to do so will be billed the appropriate series registration fee. \nContinuing Education \nRegistrants who participate in or view all five sessions and pass all administered quizzes will receive a certificate of completion. Please complete the appropriate registration form with your legal name\, address\, and other contact information so that you will be properly identified on the certificate. \nTax Information\nExpenses incurred for education undertaken to maintain and improve professional skills (including travel\, meals\, and lodging) may be tax-deductible.

SUMMARY:The Thirteenth Annual Legal Perspectives on Land Surveying
DESCRIPTION:Thirteenth Annual Legal Perspectives on Land Surveying\nFriday\, January 21\, 2022\nThe Conference Center at Waltham Woods\n860 Winter Street\, Waltham\, MA 02451 (just off I-95\, exit 27B)\n7:30 – 8:00 AM Registration; 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM Seminar\nThis program will simultaneously be presented as a Zoom Video Webinar \nDon’t miss this popular seminar examining legal issues impacting the land surveying profession. This year’s seminar will feature the same insightful analysis of recent legal interpretations of surveys by Massachusetts courts and related matters that is the hallmark of this program. Attorneys from Englander & Chicoine P.C. and other notable land use practitioners will discuss the following topics that will enable you to create a more effective survey\, which may help parties avoid litigation or prevail on disputed claims. Learn why this is MALSCE’s most popular seminar year-after-year. \nFeatured Topics Include: \n\nUnique Title Insurance Issues\nChanges to Condominium Site Plans\nDerelict Fee Statute: Complexities and Implications\nTitle Searches During the Pandemic: Traps for the Unwary.\nAn Update from the Land Court’s Chief Surveyor\nAn Update on Relevant Massachusetts Cases\n\nPlease note that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists anywhere other people are present\, and even precautionary measures such as masking and social distancing cannot completely eliminate this risk. Any person who chooses to travel to participate in this in-person Massachusetts Association of Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers (MALSCE) seminar assumes all risks arising from that decision. All participants must agree to comply with all safety procedures established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as any other protocols put in place by MALSCE\, the host sites\, travel facilities\, or any other applicable authorities. These precautions currently include an expectation that all seminar registrants who plan to attend are self-attesting that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and agreeing to wear a mask in all Conference Center common areas. These requirements may be updated between now and the seminar. \nRegistration Information \nRegistration fees for in-person participants are $220/person for MALSCE members* and $330/person for non-members\, and $165/person for MALSCE members* and $260/person for non-members for remote participants. \nIn-person registration fee includes a continental breakfast\, two snack breaks\, lunch\, and PDF copies of seminar handouts.\n*Members of CALS\, MSLS\, NHLSA\, NYSAPLS\, REBA\, RISPLS and VSLS can attend for the MALSCE Member rate. \nRegistration deadline: Friday\, January 14\, 2022.
