Professional grade Lidar systems are currently being used on board unmanned airborne systems for high precision mapping applications. This session is intended for the uncrewed airborne lidar user community including mapping professionals, land surveyors, managers, and business decision makers to understand the underlying concepts of high precision mapping by Lidar from the technical and business perspectives, in the form of theory and practice, using real data sets from around the world. This session will focus on the following topics:

• Project requirement identification
• Platform and payload choice
• Technology: Lidar or camera; RTK, PPK or DG
• Mission planning and site preparation
• Data acquisition and pre-processing quality control
• Data processing best practices
• Implications of a UAS payload calibration and quality control
• Accuracy assessment of UAS mapping products
