3D Laser Mapping Announces Lidar Workshop Series

3D Laser Mapping, UK, has announced a programme of educational workshops, beginning in Malaysia at the end of March 2012. Designed to educate potential users of laser scanned data the ‘Lidar Applications Workshops' will provide a thorough overview of data collection methods, explore data processing and extraction methodologies and present examples of real world projects. By presenting the benefits of this popular technology, it is hoped the events will attract practitioners and professionals from the fields of highways design and maintenance, urban design, drainage, hydrography and mapping.  

Organised by 3D Laser Mapping in partnership with local surveying company Jalal Johari Consultants, the first of these events will take place on 28th and 29th March 2012 at the Royale Chulan Hotel in Kuala  Lumpur, Malaysia.

Highlights from the two days will include An ‘Introduction to Lidar', ‘ Viewing and Manipulating' laser  scanned data and ‘Lidar Data and Geographical Information Systems'. Examples of real world applications of laser scanned data that have achieved returns on investment will include evidence from projects in the fields of transport, utilities, asset management and city modelling.

The first Lidar Applications Workshop will run over two days on the 28th and 29th March 2012, with delegates choosing which day is most applicable.

The event is free to attend; however, attendance is by invitation only.
