Learn to Work with Lidar Data in ArcGIS 10.1 from Esri

With lidar data becoming more common and affordable, Esri software users now have a greater opportunity to use this 3D content within their geographic information system (GIS) workflows. In ArcGIS 10.1, Esri's upcoming software release, lidar data can be managed, viewed, updated, and shared, all while remaining in its native format.

To show you how to use lidar data in your workflows, Esri will host the live training seminar Working with Lidar Data in ArcGIS 10.1 on May 24, 2012. The seminar will introduce you to the methods with which ArcGIS can manage lidar data. You will learn how you can quickly view the data as points and triangulated irregular networks (TINs), take measurements, and edit classification codes. Since lidar data typically comes in collections of LAS files, you will also learn how to manage these collections using a mosaic dataset, as well as disseminate lidar data to desktop and web applications.

After watching this seminar, you will understand how to

Create and view surface models with lidar data
Edit LAS classification codes
Access LAS files from a mosaic dataset
This live training seminar is geared toward anyone who works with or is just starting to use lidar data. A basic knowledge of lidar and ArcGIS is recommended but not required.

Attendees need a broadband Internet connection and an Esri Global Account to watch the live training seminar. Creating an Esri Global Account is easy and free: visit esri.com/lts.
