Headwall's own Dr. Carson Roberts presents a short tutorial on LiDAR Tools, which is part of our upcoming Hyperspec III 3.1 software upgrade release. LiDAR Tools supports Headwall airborne platforms with LiDAR and allows saving LAS and DEM files, as well as the fusion of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and LiDAR data. This is the first official release of LiDAR Tools, so we encourage users with HSI & LiDAR to engage with us about your applications and what kinds of processing and visualization would benefit you the most.
