The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the specifications and provide detailed explanations and examples of the products derived for the Virgin Island LiDAR Survey. This workshop will discuss the acquisition methodologies, a review of the vertical accuracy specifications, a review of the final products, and suggested methodologies for vertical adjustments. Participants should bring their own wireless internet-ready laptop computer.
