Duration: 3 DaysIn this application-oriented course, students will learn the tools and functionalities necessary to complete a desktop mapping project using Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS). Instructors will explain the importance of orthorectified imagery and how to efficiently process imagery. Students will then learn to complete their mapping project using 2D and 3D visualization, mosaicking, feature extraction, and map composition tools in ERDAS IMAGINE and LPS.Dates
