14.13.2. GNSS + LiDAR

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does GNSS stand for?

   Hint

   Think about satellite systems that help with positioning.

2. 2.

   What technology does LiDAR utilize?

   Hint

   Consider what this technology does with light.

3. 3.

   What does GNSS stand for?

   • Global Network Satellite System
   • Global Navigation Satellite System
   • General Navigation Signal System

   Hint

   It's tied to navigation through satellites.

4. 4.

   True or False: LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Radial.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider what 'Ranging' relates to in this context.

5. 5.

   How would the lack of GNSS affect a LiDAR survey of a densely forested area?

   Hint

   Focus on the effects of inaccurate positioning.

6. 6.

   Design a short research proposal for an application that combines GNSS and LiDAR in urban infrastructure management.

   Hint

   Consider how accurate surface mapping improves management processes.
