In a recent visit to the Conrad Blucher Institute, representatives from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) spent some time in the MANTIS Laboratory for a brief discussion on the latest advancements in remote sensing technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) for surveying and mapping. The visit focused on the various ways in which MANTIS researchers are exploring cutting-edge methodologies to enhance 3D data collection and geospatial analysis, with focus on coastal monitoring. During the visit, the MANTIS team presented their ongoing projects, demonstrating how remote sensing techniques are being integrated with AI to improve data collection, processing, and analysis. The discussion highlighted the application of these technologies for coastal surveying, asset monitoring, and long-term management.
