EAGLE Students Explore LiDAR Data with QGIS, Whitebox, and CloudCompare

m

February 6, 2025

At EAGLE, our students continuously expand their expertise in Earth observation by learning various data processing techniques. Today, they are diving into LiDAR data analysis, using QGIS, Whitebox, and CloudCompare to enhance their skills in handling different remote sensing data and software solutions.

Mastering multiple tools is a key ability for any scientist, as real-world challenges often require a flexible and multidisciplinary approach. By working with different software, our students gain practical experience that prepares them for future research and professional applications.

Stay tuned for more updates on their exciting learning journey!
