Abstract
This proposal, prepared by students in the AA and EE departments, seeks funding for a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor; specifically the Velodyne LiDAR PUCK LITE or PUCK VLP-16. When mounted an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, the LiDAR sensor will use lasers to create high-resolution, 3D aerial imagery of the terrain, vegetation and animal life. This has applications in engineering, environmental sciences, geospatial analysis, and many others.
