University of Connecticut and University of Washington RAPID Collaboration

This video documents a collaborative study between the University of Connecticut and the University of Washington's RAPID group on using LIDAR technology for 3D imaging of retaining walls. Max Wondolowski, a PhD student, explains the importance of retaining walls in infrastructure and the limitations of current inspection methods. The video showcases a visit to the RAPID facility, highlighting their equipment and support for natural hazard research. The collaboration aims to improve retaining wall inspections and asset management through advanced 3D imaging techniques.
