Explore LiDAR in 3D

Explore LiDAR in 3D is a beginner-level course designed for analysts and GIS professionals who want to work confidently with LiDAR point cloud data for elevation modeling and environmental applications. LiDAR data is inherently three-dimensional, yet many errors in analysis occur when users treat it like traditional 2D raster data. This course focuses on building correct mental models and practical skills for working with LiDAR from visualization through validation. Across three structured lessons, learners progress from understanding and exploring LiDAR point clouds in a 3D viewer, to genera…
