Course Lab Topics:
- Lab 1: OBIA – use a segmentation approach to classify an image in ArcGIS
- Lab 3: Vegetation indices – compute VIs in ArcGIS
- Lab 5: GlobalMapper – generate DSM & DTM
- Lab 6: GlobalMapper – create 3D profile
- Lab 8: Calculate volume based on the DSM & DTM
- R labs:(Labs7,9,& TLS labs)
- read/write LAS
- plot & summarize LAS
- generate DSM & DTM
- normalize point cloud
- filter point cloud
- create canopy height model
- segment point cloud
- model tree apex
- export raster layer (DSM & DTM)
- export vector layer
- slice a terrestrial laser scan (TLS) into pieces and analyze
Can you…
- use ArcGIS’ segmentation functionality to perform an object-based image analysis (OBIA)
- improve your OBIA by using vegetation indices
- use a LAS or LAS-derived data to
- describe the topographic landscape with respect to minimum and maximum elevations
- describe the landscape with respect to object heights
- produce a count of ‘things’ on the landscape
- determine the volume of a solid object
- produce a point(s) to represent a tree apex or tree apexes on the landscape
- conceptualize an application of drones/drone data for
- wildlife purposes
- forestry purposes
- environmental monitoring
- fisheries management
- use drone data or products derived from a drone mission to… (do anything we did on Monday during lab or Wednesday during the lab follow-up lectures
)…
The final and lab final will consist of two, probably multi-part, questions. One will be pulled from topics presented during our Monday lab period and one from the Wednesday lab follow-up lectures. You will/should be able to complete the tasks in a two-hour session. You are allowed to use any resource (other than a fellow student) during the exam.
