The LiDAR Winter School 2026 will take place in the Department of Geomatics, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). This course will cover the operational theory and data processing of various laser scanning systems, including Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Handheld SLAM LiDAR, UAV Laser Scanner, and Bathymetric LiDAR.
A whole day outing will take place in Tainan (outside NCKU campus) to gain hands-on experience with TLS, handheld SLAM LiDAR, and UAV SLAM LiDAR systems. Data processing procedures will be introduced in a computer room of Department of Geomatics. Participants are encouraged to bring their own high-end laptop (with high-speed CPU, ample RAM, and/or independent GPU).
Graduate students and young scholars are encouraged to join this event. Participants will work on team projects, using LiDAR data generated during the Winter School or from their own source. We believe that the experience from this winter school will enhance your knowledge, technical skills and open up new opportunities in the geospatial industies.
