Learning that goes beyond the lecture

From understanding LiDAR
to working with it.

Give students a connected experience: plan the collection, capture real conditions, process the data, and explain what the results mean.

01 / Field experience

Collect real data

Introduce students to collection planning, system setup, positioning, and the decisions that shape a successful mapping project.

02 / Processing skills

Build the point cloud

Connect field measurements to a usable 3D dataset. Explore georeferencing, alignment, classification, and quality checks.

03 / Professional judgment

Turn data into answers

Use point clouds and derived terrain information to investigate a problem, communicate findings, and support a design or research question.
