Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• to introduce participants to the principles of mobile laser scanning systems, including system components (e.g., LiDAR scanners, imaging sensors, GNSS and IMU) and sensor relationship
• to learn about data collection planning, including mission design, considering factors such as project requirements, data accuracy and data density, sensor configuration and optimal data acquisition parameters
• to gain proficiency in operating and calibrating mobile laser scanning systems, including system setup, sensor alignment, data synchronization, and data validation during the data acquisition phase
• to explore software tools commonly used for processing and analyzing point cloud data, and to learn best practices for efficient data processing workflows
• to learn methods for data alignment, coordinate system transformations, and combining different data sources for comprehensive analysis and visualization
• to explore advanced topics in mobile laser scanning systems, such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), trajectory optimization, and data accuracy assessment
• to learn techniques for data filtering, segmentation, classification, and feature extraction
• to develop practical skills through hands-on exercises and to gain insights into the diverse applications of mobile laser scanning systems, including transportation infrastructure mapping, utilities, and asset management
