Analyzing Terrain in Global Mapper

In several previous webinars and webcasts, we discussed Global Mapper’s LiDAR processing capabilities, from point cloud editing to feature extraction. The 3D modeling and analysis functionality has been a major development focus over recent years and for many users, the utilization of the z-value is the most important facet of the application. As a commodity, the most common application for LiDAR is in the generation of a ground or terrain model. In the latest Global Mapper webcast, we explore the array of terrain analysis tools in the software. Among the specific topics covered in the webcast will be: Terrain creation Volume calculation Terrain flattening Contour generation Line-of-sight and view shed analysis Watershed modeling Slope analysis Change detection If you have questions about any of the workflows or topics covered in this presentation, email [email protected].
