Monday 21 September (Indoor Meeting): 'Scanning, HBIM and AI adoption : An opportunity for the Black Country Global Geopark'. Speaker: Andrew Stott (Head of Knowledge Transfer at the University of Wolverhampton).
This talk will explore the benefits and practical challenges associated with established and emerging reality-capture technologies, including LiDAR, virtual tours and simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) surveys. It will demonstrate how the National Brownfield Institute (NBI) has integrated these technologies into new Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) workflows. The presentation will also consider how innovations such as artificial intelligence and Gaussian splatting could enhance the creation of detailed, accessible digital twins, opening new opportunities for recording, interpreting and communicating geological and cultural heritage across the geosciences sector and within Global Geoparks like the Black Country.
