| Geo Week is a We Get Around Network Marketing Partner Geo Week 2026 Product Preview Presentation I – Denver, Colorado Hosted by Juan Plaza, CEO, Plaza Aerospace The first session of Geo Week 2026 in Denver opened with four compelling product previews from leading geospatial technology companies. Here is a recap of the key announcements from each presenter. --- GeoCue Group – LP360 | Darrick Wagg, VP of Customer Success | Booth #1211 Darrick Wagg presented a packed update for LP360, GeoCue's LiDAR point cloud processing platform — now 20 years old and still evolving fast. A major new release, version 26.1, is expected next month. New hardware support includes the Riegl VQ-539, the NDAA-compliant Riegl VQ-641, the upcoming Riegl VQ-651, and a photo kit for the TrueView Go for 3D mesh modeling. A new affordable handheld unit — the GeoCue Neo — was also announced with full LP360 support coming soon. On the AI side, the existing AI Ground tool is being upgraded to AI Ground Plus, adding detection of bridge decks, vegetation types, vehicles, and water surfaces. A new AI Forestry module handles individual tree segmentation, crown delineation, and DBH estimation across diverse forest types. A new AI Utilities module classifies transmission infrastructure including conductors, jumper wires, guy wires, tower locations, and catenary paths — no user training required. Other highlights include a new Immersive Image Explorer for Street View-style 360° navigation, expanded 3D Gaussian Splat Viewer tools with Open360 1.5 spec support, a new 3D Photo Engine for mesh modeling and Gaussian splat generation (coming later in 2026), full cloud-based orthomosaic generation, and improved LandXML break line support for CAD workflows. --- Flai – AI LiDAR Classification | Nejc Dougan, CTO | Booth #609 Nejc Dougan presented Flai's suite of deep learning pretrained classifiers for LiDAR point clouds, trusted by over 200 organizations across geospatial, aerospace, energy, government, and security sectors. Flai's classifier library now spans eight domains: Aerial Mapping (20+ classes including ground, buildings, power lines, bridges, solar panels, and roads), Noise Filtering, Utility Power Lines (conductors, towers, catenary vectorization), Mobile Mapping, Defense and Security (leveraging synthetic training data), Topobathy, Forestry (tree trunks, canopies, DBH, biomass), Railroad, and an Indoor/BIM module in active development. The Aerial Mapping Classifier achieves 99%+ F1 on ground, 95%+ on buildings and wires, and 90%+ on bridges in internal benchmarks. Clients report 90–95% reductions in manual QC editing time on complex projects. Processing runs at approximately 9 minutes per square mile at 30 pts/m² on a single machine, with linear scaling above that density and support for horizontal multi-node GPU/CPU scaling. Training data spans 60+ countries and all major sensor manufacturers. Deployment options include managed cloud (AWS) and self-hosted on-premises — including air-gapped and edge environments. Private model retraining is available on your own infrastructure with no data leaving your environment. A free trial is available at the booth or via the Flai web app. Nejc is also presenting a deeper session on Power Line Classification on Tuesday at 12:30 PM in Ballroom 1C. --- Teledyne Optech – Galaxy, Stratus, Echo One, Fathom | Mark Treiber, Product Manager | Booth #1303 Mark Treiber delivered several hardware and workflow announcements centered on a clear theme: faster delivery with less post-processing. Onboard Gen 2 — Teledyne's real-time airborne mapping system reaches its second generation. It now delivers full-resolution 2 MHz point cloud processing at an average of 3 returns in real time during the flight, in a smaller and more power-efficient form factor with built-in image monitoring and storage. Onboard Gen 2 is now standard on all Galaxy and Galaxy Edge systems. Customers can land with under 10 cm line-to-line matching and deliver hazard reports and assessments within 24–48 hours. New software brings 33% faster processing, a Combined Density Display, and Auto-Reply flight line prompts for operators. Teledyne Stratus — A newly announced 8 kg Galvo-based sensor for fixed-wing drones and smaller platforms. Operates up to 1,200 m altitude at 2 MHz and up to 7 returns. Supports wide-angle survey and narrow-angle corridor collection modes. Absolute accuracy approximately 3–7 cm. Echo One — The NDAA and FCC compliant UAV LiDAR system is entering qualification with new orders shipping Q2 2026. Collects an 800-foot swath at 400-foot altitude, 80 pts/m², up to 8 returns, natively colorized, with an oblique FOV ideal for utility corridor mapping. Fathom — Integrated topobathy system combining bathymetric LiDAR, topographic LiDAR, and RGB/Near-IR camera in one platform. Achieves IHO Special Order accuracy. Demos available Q2 2026. Teledyne has also launched a Bathymetric Project Partnership Program — acting as subcontractor to help customers enter the bathymetric LiDAR market with reduced risk. --- Cintoo – Reality Capture SaaS Platform | Dominique Pouliquen, CEO | Booth #1029 Dominique Pouliquen presented several meaningful updates to the Cintoo (C2) SaaS platform for scan-to-BIM, scan-vs-BIM, and digital twin workflows — capped with a major new product announcement. Mesh Streaming in ESRI ArcGIS — Cintoo now streams high-resolution 3D meshes inside ArcGIS via a free C2 widget for ArcGIS Enterprise Builder. BP is already using this integration in their BP One Map portal to give all stakeholders direct access to scan data within the ArcGIS environment. Scalability Breakthrough — Projects with 16,500+ scans from multiple sources, plus large 2D and 3D models, now load and display in C2 in seconds — a significant step for large-scale manufacturing, oil and gas, and infrastructure projects. Click-On-Tag — A new AI-powered feature that lets users create complex 3D asset tags with a single pixel click, generating connected bounding boxes for pipe routes and complex equipment shapes. Complements Cintoo's existing automatic AI tagging engine across 40 equipment classes. P&ID Viewer — Upload 2D diagrams into Cintoo and link symbols directly to 3D asset tags, connecting documentation to the digital twin for P&IDs, floor plans, and electrical diagrams. Cintoo 360 Edition (Partnership with Ricoh) — The headline announcement. A new product tier that brings 360-degree video, 3D Gaussian splats, LiDAR scans, and BIM/CAD models together in a single aligned 3D environment using the Ricoh Theta X camera. The workflow — capture, auto-upload via Rico360, Gaussian splat generation, face blurring, and alignment to existing scan data — was demonstrated by a first-time user in under 3 minutes. Full measurement, annotation, tagging, and display mode tools are available inside the combined viewer. Cintoo Convergence User Group: Day 2 of Geo Week, 9:00–11:00 AM, 2-minute walk from the convention center. Register at the booth. --- About Geo Week 2026 – Product Preview Presentation I Geo Week 2026 is taking place in Denver, Colorado.
