However, this data often needs a degree of basic post-processing, for example Precise Point Kinematic processing to refine positional data on UAV LiDAR or MultiBeam surveys, or registration of multiple ground based laser scans.

For example, to establish above ground biomass of a forest, not only do we require high resolution 3D survey data, we also need to undertake a series of advanced processing steps to classify the point cloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ES@S has experience of developing workflows, for example to investigate eco-geomorphic feedback mechanisms (how vegetation and rivers co-evolve), or combining multiple datasets to explore mega-river processes.
