2 Class of 2010 - 2011

3 LIDAR, LiDAR, LIDaR, lidar and LADAR(laser altimetry). Light detection and ranging Laser Imaging, Detection and Ranging Combining the words light and radar

4 https://www.e-https://www.e- education.psu.edu/lidar/l1_p3.html Active versus Passive Remote Sensing

5  Airborne  Topographic  Bathymeric  Terrestrial  Mobile  Stationary

6  Active Remote Sensing method.  Laser pulses are reflected from objects on or near the ground.  XYZ data collected.  High density of data points collected. http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/pubs/pnw_gtr768.pdf

7 Blue –Green laser that can penetrate water and provide bottomland terrain modeling. Water penetration down to 50 meters but clarity is a limiting factor. Often flown simultaneously with digital cameras and hyperspectral sensors.

8  Collection of 360 degree field of view  Very accurate and highly precise data collection  Provides detailed streetscape and roadway GIS data  Ability to see where airborne lidar cannot

9 Mobile mapping streetscape point cloud Finished streetscape from mobile mapping project https://www.e-education.psu.edu/lidar/l9_p5.html

11  Multiple returns.  First is the highest object.  Up to five (5) returns per pulse.  Last is not always the ground. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/1 0.1/index.html#//015w00000041000000

14  LAS – specification for a point cloud file format with x,y,z and other attributes.  ASCII – original format for LIDAR data.  LAZ – lossless LIDAR Compression. http://www.laszip.org/ http://www.laszip.org/  Data we will use compressed from 164 mb to 29 mb.  LAS Dataset –LAS storage for use in ArcGIS.  Convert into TIN, DEM, contours and others.

15  Flooding  Coastline erosion- changes  Vegetation  Forestry  Improving accuracy and resolution of basemaps.  Planning  Urban Growth

16  Virginia- William and Mary hosts state LIDAR http://www.wm.edu/as/cga/VALIDAR/index.php  USGS CLICK: Center for LIDAR Information Coordination and Knowledge (not compressed!) http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov/  LIDAR LINKS for mappers http://www.lidarbasemaps.orghttp://www.lidarbasemaps.org/
