APPLICATIONS IN TERRESTRIAL LIDAR DATA ACQUISITION

Catalog description

This course will introduce basic concepts and applications of terrestrial LiDAR high definition survey using laser scanning and imaging technologies. Terrestrial LiDAR scanning provides high-resolution three-dimensional point cloud data, images and active laser captured data. The course will focus on terrestrial LiDAR technology using the Leica P-20 hardware, data collection, processing, object modeling and analysis, and examples of science applications. A combination of lectures and hands-on demonstrations of terrestrial LiDAR equipment and data processing software will be used.
