Nejc Dougan
Nejc Dougan has a background in geodesy and computer science, focusing on advancing geospatial technologies through practical applications and research. After completing his master’s degree at the University of Ljubljana, he worked at Flycom Technologies, gaining comprehensive experience in LiDAR projects—from data acquisition and classification to final delivery.
He later broadened his expertise as a software engineer, developing web-based GIS systems, which deepened his understanding of integrating technology with geospatial solutions. Nejc also pursued PhD studies at the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Computer and Information Science, where his research explored the use of AI and deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks, for processing aerial laser scanning point clouds.
Building on his industry and research experience, he co-founded Flai, now serving as CTO, focusing on AI-driven tools for automating LiDAR data processing.
Sessions
The availability of LiDAR data worldwide is growing rapidly, with much of it being publicly accessible. However, fragmented datasets and accessibility challenges often hinder their usage. To address this, we are building an open repository of LiDAR data, consolidating diverse open datasets from various nations into a single, unified platform.
At the core of this initiative is FlaiHub, a tool that provides seamless access to these datasets while enabling data exploration and analysis. FlaiHub features an integrated viewer and AI-powered tools for both simple and advanced analyses, including point cloud classification and vectorization.
In this talk, we will explore the datasets currently available in the repository, demonstrate how you can contribute your data, and showcase how to use FlaiHub to view and analyze LiDAR data. Whether a researcher, professional, student, or enthusiast, you’ll learn how to leverage open LiDAR data and AI tools for your projects.
Join us to discover the possibilities of open LiDAR data and how you can be part of this growing community.
