Have you ever thought of using LiDAR data to improve field tasks such as Forestry Management, Disaster Prevention, Coastal Change Management, Contamination Simulation and other applications? LiDAR technology, a significant measurement technology for surveyors, can record a wide range of high-precision information at once, and has become an important tool in many domains. For example, a forestry-management expert can record a large quantity of data indicating tree height and crown density by using LiDAR data to model forest vegetation information and enhance the forecast accuracy of forest states at the same time. In this way, conditions that affect forest fire behavior can be forecast with greater precision, allowing forest managers to reduce the damage caused by fire. LiDAR data enables disaster prevention experts to increase the accuracy of digital terrain models (DTM) with a resulting increase in accuracy of flood simulations. In urban areas, land is densely developed, resulting in extreme impacts from small differences in flood levels. To offer better disaster-relief results, exact digital terrain models are employed to provide related organizations with high-quality disaster-relief simulations. In addition, LiDAR technologies are also utilized in fields like Contamination Simulation and Urban Planning, as well as oil and mineral explorations and other natural resource industries.
SuperGIS Desktop has been supporting users to display LiDAR data in 2D/3D environments. SuperGIS Desktop 10 will soon provide more advanced LiDAR tools for users to display their LiDAR data according to elevation, RGB and classification values. In addition, via the LiDAR tools within SuperGIS Desktop 10, you can display surface data, non-surface data, or vegetation data by using the filter tool. LiDAR tools can do more than this; they also allow users to draw LiDAR profiles that can be displayed in 3D, illustrating the spatial distribution of distinct LiDAR file coverage. Moreover, the LiDAR data processing function within LiDAR tools enable users to extract information of surface, vegetation, buildings, water, etc. Meanwhile, point cloud data can be lightened through LiDAR data splitting or merging functions. It is convenient for users to convert their LiDAR data into lighter *.laz, feature, numerical, and text files.
Supergeo Technology has devoted several years to developing, implementing and promoting diverse GIS products for the world, and making contributions to society as well. To introduce the way to improve the impacts of field surveys via GIS technologies, a global webinar, conducted by Supergeo, will be held at 9 a.m. on September 10. Join the webinar and learn how to predict species distribution for boosting forestry resources conservation and management through statistical methods via SuperGIS Desktop!
