I would gratefully appreciate tutorials on processing Terrestrial LiDAR Data. I use the CLOUD COMPARE software to process the data in FLS (FARO TLS) data format. Cloud compare supports importing fls data as point clouds. But I am struck up with wat next. Going through different video tutorials which mostly explains step by step procedures, it seems inconsistent on the sequence of steps to be followed especially using the data as intensity or scalar value etc....
To illustrate an example, in optical remote sensing, we get the data as DN values, then we convert it to radiance and finally to reflectance (though currently many products are directly provided as radiance and reflectance).
In a similar fashion, it would be good if some one can suggest how a point cloud can be ultimately converted to elevation (with respect to WGS 1984 - orthometric). we have also carried out DGPS survey to generate tie points so as to generate orthometric height.
