Fundamentals of SLAM LiDAR

Fundamentals of SLAM LiDAR brings practical LiDAR training to handheld scanning workflows, enabling field teams to capture, manage, and work with point cloud data more confidently.

• Get productive on your SLAM sensor faster: Build the foundational knowledge needed to start working with handheld LiDAR without relying on a printed manual or repeated demonstration calls.
• Learn LiDAR fundamentals specifically for handheld scanning: Apply the same foundational concepts taught in Candrone's aerial LiDAR courses to SLAM-based field capture and handheld hardware.
• Build confidence from mission planning through deliverables: Develop practical knowledge of mission planning, basic processing, data management, and the deliverables produced from handheld SLAM data.
• Apply SLAM knowledge across professional mapping environments: Build skills relevant to forestry, mining, civil, construction, and other field teams using handheld SLAM scanning.

Overview and Who It's For

Fundamentals of SLAM LiDAR brings Candrone's LiDAR training approach to handheld SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems, covering LiDAR theory, mission planning, basic processing, data management, and deliverables specific to handheld hardware rather than aircraft. The course is designed for teams adopting a SLAM sensor as well as organizations evaluating whether handheld SLAM fits their workflow.

• Forestry & Environmental: Build foundational knowledge for understory scanning and other handheld forestry and environmental mapping workflows.
• Mining: Develop the fundamentals needed to support handheld scanning and point cloud data capture in mining and aggregate environments.
• Civil & Power: Build practical SLAM knowledge for handheld mapping applications across civil, construction, infrastructure, and related field work.

FAQs

Is this course only for people who've purchased a SLAM sensor?
No. While it pairs well with a new SLAM purchase, it also works as a standalone introduction for anyone evaluating SLAM adoption.

Do I need experience with aerial LiDAR first?
No. The course covers the same LiDAR fundamentals as Candrone's aerial training, built specifically around handheld SLAM sensors.

Which industries is this course relevant to?
The course was developed with forestry work in mind, particularly understory scanning, but applies to teams using handheld SLAM scanners across mining, construction, civil, and other mapping applications.

What topics are covered in the course?
The course covers LiDAR theory for SLAM sensors, handheld mission planning, basic processing, data management practices, and an overview of deliverables.

Do I receive a certificate after completing the course?
Yes. A Candrone completion certificate is included with the course.
