1. Brian S. Keiling Program Head – Forest Management Dabney S.Lancaster Community College

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.
