Easy-to-follow video tutorial on LiDAR processing with LAStools recorded in Baja California on April 8th 2015 that was part of a three day workshop at CICESE in Ensenada. Skip to the 40th minute for the start of the talk or use this direct link here:
First there is an overview slide presentation and it is followed by a hands-on tutorial that you can follow along after downloading http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools
It starts with short and lively introduction talk on LiDAR processing with examples of different projects such as the Canary Islands (Spain) where the vegetation-penetrating lasers uncovered elevation differences of up to 25 meters between the official government maps and reality, flood mapping in the Philippines, archaeological finds in Polish forests, and other recent laser adventures.
This is followed by a hands-on during which attendees perform the core steps of a LiDAR processing workflow on their own Windows laptops using the software and data provided. This workshop will touch upon parts of (1) LiDAR quality checking, (2) LiDAR preparation (tiling, classifying, cleaning), (3) manual editing of LiDAR files, and (4) LiDAR derivative creation (DTM/DSM/contour/slope maps/CHM/...).
