The LiDAR Winter School 2025 will take place in the Department of Geomatics, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). This course will cover the operational theory and data processing of various laser scanning systems, including Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Handheld SLAM LiDAR, UAV Laser Scanner, and Bathymetric LiDAR.
A whole day outing will take place in Tainan (ouside NCKU campus) to gain hands-on experience with TLS, handheld SLAM LiDAR, and UAV SLAM LiDAR systems. Data processing procedures will be introduced in a computer room of Department of Geomatics. Participants are encouraged to bring their own high-end laptop (with high-speed CPU, ample RAM, and/or independent GPU).
The highlights of the LiDAR Winter School include deriving LOD1 building model from high-density point cloud data and understanding forest carbon by integrating high-density point cloud data with satellite optical images.
In addition to the academic sessions, participants will enjoy social events, including an ice-breaking dinner and a guided tour of the Chimei Museum, providing opportunitites for networking and relaxation. We provide meals, snacks, and accommodation (hostel) near the campus during whole course.
We welcome anyone who is interested in knowing laser scanning to join us. We believe that the experience from this winter school will enhance your knowledge, technical skills and open up new opportunities in the geospatial industies.
