SEMINAR:

An Introduction to LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Technology for Forestry and Hydrologic Applications.



Presented by: Russell Faux, Watershed Sciences, Inc.

Abstract: Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data are more commonly being used for urban planning, hydrology and floodplain analysis, forestry mapping, riparian and wetland mapping and restoration design. LiDAR points are typically processed to generate digital terrain models (DTMs), vegetation canopy surfaces, and building surfaces. Recent software developments allow direct point processing for forest inventory and fuels analysis. Watershed Sciences, Inc. owns and operates the highest pulse rate and most accurate LiDAR system on the market. They have conducted LiDAR acquisitions for a variety of natural resource applications throughout the Western United States. This presentation will explore the technology and methods used to collect high density LiDAR data and provide examples of products used for forestry and hydrologic applications.
