Data Acquisition Using LiDAR

Data Acquisition Using LiDAR 1 hour PDH online course is a part of the Land Surveying category courses.

LiDAR surveys comprise an ever-evolving set of technologies that allow for a rapid, yet very accurate, collection of roadway asset data through a single effort which, when specified, integrated, and used correctly, can result in efficient workflows for transportation agencies. LiDAR surveys help consolidate resources, thus maximizing funding and enhancing the accuracy and integration of information.

This course discusses LiDAR data acquisition program planning and implementation requirements. The course is based on US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration publication Guide for Efficient Geospatial Data Acquisition using LiDAR Surveying Technology.

This course is intended for Professional Land Surveyors and Professional Engineers interested in learning about survey data acquisition using LiDAR.
