In conjunction with the ForestTECH 2018 series this year, Interpine will be running a LiDAR Analysis workshop the day after each event – Thursday 8th March. It will teach delegates how to manipulate, process and visualize LiDAR datasets, with a specific focus on forestry derived forestry outputs. These include terrain, vegetation surfaces and forest yield related calculation pathways.
Presenters: Dr. Martin Isenburg and the Interpine Team (David Herries, Peter Auge, Susana Gonzalez and Sarah Pitcher-Campbell).
