LiDAR Remote Sensing Learning Path¶
The FloridaView LiDAR curriculum is a ten-lab progression. Start with public-data discovery and visualization, build core point-cloud skills, then move into classification, vegetation, urban, wetland, and coastal applications.
Quick Terrain Reader and web-based LiDAR viewers
Find and download public LiDAR point-cloud data from authoritative sources.
FUSION/LDV
Load LiDAR example data and reference imagery in FUSION.
ArcGIS Pro
Create an ArcGIS Pro LAS dataset from LAS files.
ArcGIS Pro
Classify ground, noise, buildings, and vegetation in a LiDAR point cloud.
FUSION/LDV
Use FUSION/LDV measurement tools to isolate individual trees.
ArcGIS Pro
Create bare-earth and surface elevation products from LiDAR.
ArcGIS Pro
Convert LiDAR point data to raster surfaces in ArcGIS Pro.
ArcGIS Pro
Create DEM and DSM products from urban LiDAR.
ArcGIS Pro
Create LiDAR-derived TIN, terrain, and interpolated raster surfaces.
ArcGIS Pro
Interpret future sea-level-rise scenarios and vertical-datum differences.
