What you'll learn:
- Define point cloud data
- Find point cloud data sources and tools
- Create and use Virtual Point Clouds (VPC)
- Interpolate point cloud data to raster
- Visualize point cloud data in 2D and 3D
- Filter point cloud data
- Automate point cloud processing with PDAL wrench
Welcome to this course on point cloud processing and 3D visualization with QGIS!
If you are a QGIS user who is eager to improve your skills by learning how to handle point cloud data, this course is for you.
In this course you will learn how to:
Download and preprocess point cloud data from various sources
Interpolate point cloud data to create digital elevation models and other raster products
Visualize point cloud data in 3D using the QGIS 3D view and Elevation Profile tool
Filter point cloud data
Automate point cloud processing workflows using PDAL wrench
The course is structured into 8 sections, each containing videos, quizzes, and assignments to help you master the concepts and techniques. You will use only open data and QGIS throughout the course. By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in point cloud processing and 3D mapping, and you will be able to create stunning 3D scenes of your study area!
I assume that you are a Windows user. All instructions are for Windows. If you're using another operating system and get stuck, you need to find solutions on the internet.
I hope you are excited to join this course and discover the power of QGIS and point clouds. To get a glimpse of what you will learn, please watch the course promo video and check out the free previews. I can’t wait to see you on the course!
