Course Objective LIDAR stands for “Light Detection and Ranging”, commonly known as Laser Radar. It is not only replacing conventional sensors, but also creating new methods with unique properties that could not be achieved before. Lidar is extremely useful in atmospheric and environmental research as well as space exploration. It also has wide applications in industry, defense, and military. Our objectives are to provide: 1. Comprehensive, yet easily understandable, up-to-date understandings of lidar principles, technologies, and applications; 2. Approaches for quantitative lidar simulation, lidar sensitivity and error analysis, lidar data retrieval, lidar system design and performance analysis; 3. Opportunities to see and operate the real state-of-the-art lidar systems and make connections to lidar experts in the nation and world. This class is based on the 6000-level "Lidar Remote Sensing" class offered in Fall 2012. In light of the new development of lidar technologies and applications through worldwide research, the course contents have been updated to include new developments and directions, more sophisticated lidar simulation and sensitivity analysis, and possible new applications. Students will be offered field-trip opportunities to UCB Table Mountain lidar facility for real lidar operations. Guest speakers will be invited from different lidar groups.
