Mobile LiDAR for Urban Forestry
Upcoming Webinar
Accuracy, QA/QC, and the Science Behind LiDAR-Based Tree Measurements
Upcoming Webinar, April 8 at Noon MT
As more cities explore mobile LiDAR for tree inventories, one question determines whether projects succeed or stall: Can we trust the data? Accuracy, defensibility, and clear QA/QC standards are essential when LiDAR‑derived data start influencing risk, budgets, and public expectations.
Join is for a technical but practical look at how LiDAR‑based tree measurements are created, tested, and used within a hybrid model like PlanIT Geo’s TreeD Inventory, powered by Jakarto.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
- DExplain how LiDAR‑based workflows generate core tree metrics (DBH, height, canopy, structure) in urban settings.
- Recognize common sources of error and bias in LiDAR‑derived tree data, and how they affect management decisions.
- Outline practical QA/QC frameworks for LiDAR‑enabled inventories, including sampling strategies, tolerance thresholds, and acceptance criteria.
- Distinguish when remote data are likely sufficient and when field validation is required to support defensible decisions and contracts.
This session is ideal for:
- Municipal and utility arborists responsible for risk, compliance, or service levels.
- Urban forestry managers who must defend inventory data to leadership or the public.
- GIS and technical leads supporting LiDAR projects or vendors.
- Procurement and contract managers writing or evaluating LiDAR‑enabled RFPs and SLAs.
If you care about whether LiDAR‑derived numbers will hold up under scrutiny, this webinar is for you
