New Lidar Video Tutorials Available [and remote sensing too]

0 Comments

Read Now
 
VirginiaView, in partnership with Virginia Tech and other partners, recently published a new video tutorial series called “Working with Lidar Using ArcGIS Pro”.   This resource is appropriate for 2-year and 4-year college faculty who would like to integrate additional online (and self-paced) educational resources with their courses.
 
Previous tutorial topics have also been popular with geospatial professionals who are seeking a cost effective and self-paced opportunity to sharpen their geospatial skills (or just trouble shoot…).  I suspect that the new tutorial series (and other topics listed below) might be appropriate for professionals working with local/regional/state/federal governments, as well as in the private sector.
 
The following geospatial video tutorials are available at no cost, and can be accessed via http://www.virginiaview.net/videos
  • New!  Working with Lidar Using ArcGIS Pro (14 videos)
  • Remote Sensing with ArcGIS Pro (28 videos)
  • Remote Sensing with ArcMap (30 videos)
  • Using Lidar in ArcGIS Desktop (13 videos)
  • Drones: Mastering the Aeronautical Charts (6 videos)
