 I'm Mike Renzlo. I teach the LIDAR class for the Penn State University online geospatial education program. LIDAR has been a technology that has been commercialized for about the last 15 years, and in that time it has become pretty much the technology of choice. It has shown to be very, very effective on mapping the terrain and also the features on the surface of the Earth. It also has revolutionized the way that we're able to use remote sensing technology and applications in GIS. Keeping in mind that LIDAR is natively collected in 3D. So this class I think is very exciting. It begins with an overview of current platforms and the type of sensors that are used in this technology with a little bit of history. It also quickly moves into what are the characteristics of LIDAR and what makes it different than other types of technology that we've used in the past and analysis of not just a few points but point clouds of billions of points. And all of these are in 3D. The course moves forward with looking at the accuracy of this point cloud and some of the features that can be identified and also an overview and application of standards that are acceptable for evaluating the qualitative and the quantitative aspects of LIDAR. The class then moves into applications focusing on first digital elevation models and all the different types of elevation models and enhancements to the elevation models that can be very valuable for identifying features for all kinds of very, very useful applications and decision making. There's also a module on forestry applications and another module on corridor mapping looking at transmission line corridors and also transportation corridors. The class ends on a final project where the students have an opportunity to apply all of what they've learned in an organized method and they find it to be very, very rewarding. We've had great feedback from all of our students that we've taught this class for in the last four years. Thank you.
