LiDAR – Data Processing Course

Home • LiDAR – Data Processing Course

Introduction:

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has become an invaluable tool for capturing highly accurate and detailed elevation data, facilitating various applications such as terrain modeling, forestry analysis, infrastructure planning, and flood mapping. This comprehensive training course aims to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to process and analyze LiDAR data effectively. Participants will learn about LiDAR data formats, filtering techniques, digital elevation model (DEM) generation, feature extraction, and advanced analysis methods.

Training Objectives:

Throughout this program, participants will strive to achieve the following objectives:

  • Develop a solid understanding of LiDAR technology and data characteristics.
  • Gain insights into LiDAR data formats, coordinate systems, and metadata.
  • Familiarize participants with LiDAR data pre-processing techniques, including noise removal and data filtering.
  • Provide hands-on experience in generating accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) and contour maps from LiDAR data.
  • Enable participants to extract features, perform advanced analysis, and derive valuable insights from LiDAR data.

 

Duration: 5 Days
