Aerial Lidar Processing in MATLAB

Overview

Introduction of low cost lidar sensors has increased adoption of lidar workflows in various aerial applications such as mapping, surveying, inspection and monitoring. High accuracy and high density of the lidar data renders it useful in space management, security, and defense applications.

Highlights

In this webinar, you will learn how to develop complex lidar processing algorithms. We will walk through a workflow example and address common challenges in the process, such as

• Reading and processing large lidar point clouds
• Distortion and tracking errors due to motion
• Labeling huge datasets for AI workflows
