LIDAR
PURPOSE :
7.1 UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LIDAR MAPPING CONTENTS :
7.1.1 State the principle of LIDAR mapping 7.1.2 Describe LIDAR : a) operation system b) application
OPERATION SYSTEM
ADVANTAGES LIDAR
Fast and cost-effective mapping over large areas reduce time and cost. High accuracy: Vertical: 0.15m or better and Horizontal: 0.20m or better. High density points: 1-40 point/m2 or more. Data can be collected at night Penetrate canopy. Intensity image supports terrain feature classification.

DISADVANTAGES LIDAR
No pictorial record Need GPS base stations Huge datasets Smaller projects may be more expensive than traditional photogrammetry due to mobilization costs.

APPLICATION
Forestry Management and Planning ability to measure the vertical structure of forest canopies able to predict canopy bulk density and canopy base height LiDAR surveys allow large scale surveys to be taken with a level of cost-effectiveness not previously available.
12
APPLICATION
Flood Modelling Only high-resolution input data can solve the purpose that relates to the systems topography LiDAR has brought this level of detail to the industry allowing for much more accurate flood prediction models to be created.
13
APPLICATION
Pollution Modelling LiDAR has a unique ability to detect particles in both water and air. LiDAR uses short wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum, typically ultraviolet, visible or near infrared This makes it particularly sensitive to aerosols, cloud particles and air molecules
14
APPLICATION
Mapping and Cartography high resolution and accuracy has enabled it to be used in the creation of maps. LiDAR can assist in road, building and vegetation mapping. 3D aspect of LiDAR makes it especially suitable for mapping terrain models, including complex mountain topography
15
APPLICATION
Urban Planning LiDAR data is a relatively new technology for obtaining Digital Surface Models (DSMs) of the earth's surface. when combined with digital orthophotos, can be used to create highly detailed DSMs
