Programme Overview
Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is an active remote sensing technology that measures distances using laser light. It can generate precise, three-dimensional information regarding the shape and characteristics of objects in its sight. LIDAR has broad applications in many different fields from topographic mapping and urban planning to meteorology, environmental monitoring, autonomous vehicles, military, defense, and many more. ArcGIS provides a comprehensive platform for working with LIDAR data modeling. This Training programme has been developed to help ArcGIS professionals leverage LIDAR data to expand their geospatial analysis, mapping, and visualization capabilities.
Target Audience
LIDAR Data Modeling and Mapping Training using ArcGIS Pro in Lithuania can benefit a wide range of professionals. However, it is primarily aimed at:
- GIS technicians and analysts – particularly those willing to specialize in working with LIDAR data.
- Urban planners and designers.
- Environmental scientists work with LIDAR data modeling for various purposes e.g., habitat mapping, vegetation analysis, or environmental monitoring.
- Forestry specialists using LIDAR for forest inventory, canopy analysis, and precision agriculture.
- Transportation and infrastructure professionals
- Remote sensing specialists
- Municipal planners
