Lecturer
Julia Rieder
ECTS
5 ECTS
Aim
The course provides a practical introduction to LiDAR technology and point cloud analysis. Students gain hands-on experience with LiDAR data, from acquisition principles to processing and interpretation, and learn how LiDAR supports applications such as terrain modelling, forestry, and others. The course emphasizes critical understanding of data quality, limitations, and real-world use cases
Content
This course provides an overview of the scientific field surrounding LiDAR as a key technology for three-dimensional Earth observation. The course covers the fundamentals of LiDAR remote sensing, point cloud data structures, and processing methodologies across platforms ranging from spaceborne and airborne systems to terrestrial and mobile laser scanning. Furthermore, the course highlights current developments and emerging analytical possibilities enabled by advanced point cloud analysis and discusses future potential as LiDAR technologies and methodologies continue to evolve and converge with related disciplines.
