ASEN 6519. Lidar Remote Sensing

This class is based on the 6000-level lidar class offered in Spring 2007. In light of the new development of lidar technologies and applications presented at the 24th International Laser Radar Conference (ILRC) that was held in Boulder, Colorado in June 2008, the class will be updated to reflect the new developments and directions.

ASEN 6519. Lidar Remote Sensing

LIDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, commonly known as Laser Radar. It is not only replacing conventional sensors, but also creating new methods with unique properties that could not be achieved before. Lidar is extremely useful in atmospheric and environmental research as well as space exploration. It also has wide applications in industry, defense, and military.

This 6000 level class is based on the previous 5000 level "Laser Remote Sensing" class offered in Spring 2006. But it has been significantly upgraded to include more lidar examples, lidar data processing projects, and lidar design components. Students will be offered field-trip opportunities to see and possibly operate the real state-of-the-art lidars. Guest speakers will be invited from different lidar groups.

ASEN 5519. Laser Remote Sensing: Fundamentals
and Applications in Science and Engineering

The course will cover laser remote sensing principles, technology, and their applications in scientific research and industry engineering. Our goals are to provide students a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of laser remote sensing, and the necessary knowledge and ability to pursue research in the lidar and remote sensing field.
