Before processing large volumes of LIDAR data it is essential to quality control the point cloud. To meet the requirements of the final product some criteria must be fulfilled. For example point density, geometric accuracy and area coverage. This tutorial gives an overview of tools in TerraScan and TerraMatch that can be used for the purpose of LIDAR point cloud quality control.
