Instructor explaining LiDAR inspection data during drone infrastructure assessment training.

LiDAR and inspection workflows

The LiDAR and inspection workflows programme builds applied capability for professionals and organisations using LiDAR-enabled drone data to assess terrain, structures, and operational conditions. This programme focuses on practical workflows for planning LiDAR missions, handling point cloud data, and interpreting inspection outputs to support engineering, infrastructure, and asset management decisions.

Skills-based training for applied LiDAR data capture and inspection analysis

LiDAR inspection workflows are used where precision, depth, and non-contact assessment are required. They support detailed analysis of terrain, structures, and assets that cannot be reliably assessed solely through visual inspection. This programme provides structured training covering LiDAR mission planning, data-capture considerations, point-cloud fundamentals, and the interpretation of inspection outputs. Training is designed to support consistent, responsible use of LiDAR data while complementing existing engineering, surveying, or inspection processes. The emphasis is on operational understanding, data integrity, and correct application of LiDAR-derived insights.

What participants gain

✓
Understanding of LiDAR sensing principles and inspection use cases
✓
Ability to plan LiDAR missions based on accuracy and inspection requirements
✓
Practical familiarity with point cloud structure and basic interpretation
✓
Interpretation of inspection outputs to support condition assessment
✓
Improved judgement in applying LiDAR data within operational workflows

Training structure

Training combines classroom-based instruction with supervised practical exercises focused on LiDAR and inspection workflows. Participants progress through mission planning, data-capture considerations, point-cloud fundamentals, inspection-analysis concepts, and the application of outputs to real-world scenarios. The structure supports the development of applied skills suitable for infrastructure, engineering, and asset-focused environments.
