With GIS, you can analyse topographic, environmental, demographic and land use data to help you with your business decisions and project management.eed and pest management. Invasive weeds and pests can lead to massive economic costs. GIS is used to determine the areas infested by mapping in the field (recording perimeters of infested areas or recording individual points/sightings) or using satellite imagery/remote sensing.

Truong, Riegl USA, Orlando, United States of America. Abstract. Laser Scanning or LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) was introduced to the engineering community roughly. three decades ago which was only one real product: range data. As the LiDAR industry matured, the quality. and capabilities of the technology has advanced. Some of these advancements include the integration of close-. range photogrammetry, calibrated amplitude and reflectance, improved precision as well as full waveform. analysis. These innovations are utilized for a growing array of applications in the geological field.
