LiDAR 101 Video    

Posted on Thu, April 01, 2010 by Chris Crosby in Education • Resources • Video

I just stumbled upon this LiDAR 101 video, produced by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at University of Georgia, while Googling for something else.  In ~13 minutes, it does a nice job of summarizing LiDAR technology, data products, the costs associated with acquiring data, and various applications.  It is worth a watch if you are looking for a quick crash-course in LiDAR or need a video to show in the classroom:

Are there other good introduction to LiDAR videos out there?  Leave a comment if you are aware of others.

Chris, a lot of the beginning of this video was taken from my old lidar 101 lecture video that used to be on CLICK, but we had to pull it down.  However, there is still a zipped up copy on the MAGIC GIS page:

Wonder how much of that 2006 talk still applies (or is even correct) today? I’m afraid to watch it!

Here’s a link to a video interview with Clint Slatton from National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping; he covers topics including accuracy, types of LiDAR systems, calibration, applications of LiDAR.
