Working with LiDAR Data in ArcGIS

£625.00

Master the basics of LiDAR data.

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.

Please note: The course content is the same as the course offered by Esri Inc but the exercises will use UK data.

If you have already attended the Getting Started with LiDAR course we do not recommend you attend as content is similar.
