GIS Applications - Module 2

This week we are working on Module two which has to do with using LiDAR data to carry out various operations. We downloaded and prepared LiDAR data for use in ArcPro. Once the LiDAR data was ready for use we carried out several analysis to create a DEM and DSM. We also used the LiDAR data to calculate forest heights and determine the density of vegetation within a given study area. Once all the analysis were completed we created three maps which included the various products resulting from LiDAR data analysis. Below are my resulting maps. 

This first map shows the original LiDAR data over a topographic map and also a DEM that was derived from the LiDAR data. 

The second map I produced shows vegetation density within the study area. In this map it is easy to pick out the man made structure (bright yellow roads). 

The final map produced presents tree height data that was derived from LiDAR. The chart included on the document provides statistics for trees based on the data presented in the map.
