ASEN-6519. Lidar Remote Sensing
The development of this lidar class was supported, in part, by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. For more information about the award, see "Understanding the Global MLT Thermal Structure and Dynamics from Lidar and Satellite Observations and GCM Simulations."

Course Prerequisites
The pre-requisition is the ASEN-5519 "Fundamentals of Spectroscopy for Optical Remote Sensing" offered in Fall 2006. Equivalent spectroscopy or quantum / laser physics or optical engineering classes will be considered. Students lacking of above desired background can contact the instructor for further information about exception.
Course Objectives
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 CSU Fort Collins lidar facility. Guest speakers will be invited from different lidar groups.
Our objectives are to provide:- A comprehensive, yet easily understandable, up-to-date overview of lidar principles, technologies, and applications;
- Practice of lidar data retrieval, lidar system design, and quantitative analysis of lidar performance and measurement errors;
- Opportunities to see and possibly operate the real state-of-the-art lidar systems and make connections to lidar experts in the nation and world.
