• ALS is an active remote sensing technique
• Laser scanner can be mounted on airplanes,
helicopters or UAV’s
• Laser scanner technology has several advantages
• 3D mapping of vegetation
• Laser penetrates thru canopy
• Principals and data will be described in next slides

Summary & Conclusion
Various capabilities of LiDAR technology
• 3D point information
• Precise Digital Surface Models
• Precise Digital Terrain Models even under forest canopy
• Data is useful for multiple purposes
• Forest mapping
• Environmental and Disaster modeling/mapping
• Urban area mapping (houses, transmission lines)
• Data acquisition is expensive, but of high value due to its use
for multiple purposes
