3D Modeling with LiDAR
LiDAR measures the surface of the earth by sending rapid pulses of laser light directly down to the earth's surface. Locations of buildings were located, and UWT buildings were digitized to form a map of campus.
Interpolation of the LiDAR points using the IDW tool was used to convert the points into a floating point raster.
UWT buildings were extruded to their estimated heights and placed on top of an ortho photo of downtown Tacoma.
