OpenTopography and online access to point clouds and derivatives (Crosby) Sample data: Auckland, New Zealand Sky Tower (LAZ) An introduction to point cloud data using LAStools - hands on (Crosby) Introduction to laser scanning technology (Crosby) Science examples and movations for high resolution topography (Crosby)

Welcome, introduction to the course and participants, logistics Installers for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux available. We will use the software in demo mode during the course. Downloads for Windows, Mac OSX, Linux.Īgisoft PhotoScan: Commercial structure from motion photogrammetry software. You can use Wine to run LAStools on Mac OSX, or partner with a colleague during the course who is using a Windows computer.ĬloudCompare: An open source 3D point cloud and mesh processing software. Ideally you place the software in a directory such as C:/LAStools/ NOTE: LAStools is only available for Windows.

Download this zip file and unzip it to someplace convenient on your computer. LAStools: LAStools is software for processing point cloud data in the LAS format. Please plan to download and install the following software packages before you arrive. The course will include lectures and guided hands-on demonstrations. This two day course will highlight HRT science examples, and provide beginner to intermediate training on lidar, and structure from motion photogrammetry technology, as well as point cloud data processing and analysis. High resolution topographic (HRT) data from lidar and photogrammetry has become an important tool for geoscientists in a range of research areas including active tectonics, geomorphology, and natural hazards.
