Map Servers are providing useful geospatial geomatics data worldwide. These servers have several advantages due to the fact that they combine all kinds of spatial data - including surveying data. Today surveyors are using a wide range of technologies ranging from total stations to lidar to image analysis technologies, and all of this electronic data is integrated into GIS servers for use locally, regionally and globally.

The East Sea is bounded by Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Singapore. The sea is the second busiest sea route in the world after the Mediterranean Sea. As Asian economy's continue to grow, the importance of shipping across the East Sea will continue to expand. This is leading to the need for improved emergency services, tracking capabilities across the region and capacity building for many careers associated with maritime and coastal environments.

Generating an accurate 3D model of the earth's surface with lidar has many advantages over imagery, given that it's a move toward modeling as opposed to just a photo. There is a great deal of information here with three main deliverables that include a digital surface model (DSM), a bare earth or digital terrain model (DTM), and the lidar intensity image.
