CE 50401 - Laser Scanning


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course covers laser scanning data acquisition and processing activities. The first half of the course deals with the operational principles of laser scanning including laser light generation, laser scanning patterns, georeferencing, point positioning equation, impact of random and systematic errors on derived point clouds, and system calibration. The second half deals with point cloud data processing including characterization, data structures, segmentation, quality control, and product delivery. The course also covers the similarities/differences between photogrammetric and laser scanning approaches for 3D reconstruction.Credits: 3.00
