Synopsis
LiDAR survey is being increasing
used worldwide for accurate, cost effective and fast acquisition of
topographical and imagery data for many engineering, environmental,
natural resources and infrastructures applications. In fact, LiDAR has
been in use in Malaysia since 1989 and its users have seen many cost,
accuracy and speed advantages. However, poor understanding of LiDAR can
sometime lead to inferior analysis and often, the full benefit of the
LiDAR data is unrealized. The principals of LiDAR and how it can be used
effectively by all the professionals will be taught during this course.
There will be a hand-on practical using Merrick Advanced Remote Sensing
(MARS) software, a popular freeware for LiDAR data. Participants must
bring their own laptop for practical.
