Funds from this grant support the collaborative development of software tools, data management needs and community training support in an effort to establish the foundations of a national facility (INTERFACE) to help geoscientists in obtaining high resolution, high precision, 3-D surface data. The facility will provide a one-stop shop for users at any experience level to obtain instrumentation, software, and instruction in the collection of earth surface data by Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Existing TLS instruments will be made available for community use through UNAVCO. Ancillary equipment and processing and visualization software would also be made available through the UNAVCO facility. Development of software tools to establish standard workflows for taking users through all steps of obtaining high-quality surface data and visualizing results will be initiated. Community education and outreach through the establishment of best practices for equipment and software use, the conduct of numerous classroom and field instructional sessions, and establishment of a data archive and retrieval portal will be supported.

这笔赠款的资金用于协作开发软件工具、数据管理需求和社区培训支助，以努力建立国家设施(接口)的基础，以帮助地球科学家获得高分辨率、高精度的三维地表数据。该设施将为任何经验水平的用户提供一站式商店，以获取地面激光扫描仪(TLS)光探测和测距(LiDAR)收集地球表面数据的仪器、软件和说明。现有的TLS仪器将通过联安部队提供给社区使用。辅助设备以及处理和可视化软件也将通过联安援助团设施提供。将开始开发软件工具，以建立标准工作流程，引导用户完成获得高质量地面数据和可视化结果的所有步骤。将通过建立设备和软件使用的最佳做法、举办许多课堂和外地教学会议以及建立数据档案和检索门户网站，支持社区教育和外联活动。
