Working with LiDAR data in ArcGIS
Strictly by pre-registration only
What is this course about?
This course introduces light detection and ranging (lidar) data concepts, collection methods, quality-control considerations, and common applications. Techniques to manage, edit, visualise and share lidar-derived 2D and 3D information products using ArcGIS Pro are covered.
