We will show a simple example on how to use free Lidar data together with FME to create different products that can be used in the GIS and BIM-world. This is to showcase the many different possibilities with FME with respect to processing data and creating new products easily. Suitable for beginners as we will go through every process in detail.

1. Learn How to Use Free Lidar Data From
Norway (Hoydedata.no) Together with FME
to Create Different 3D Products for GIS and
BIM Users.

Your own data
- Everyone manages or owns some data.
- Which data do you control?
- What can you do with the data?
- Can you automate it?

• People that needs the data does not know about the
data
• Data is stored somewhere, but the users of the data
isn’t aware of the data.
• The users doesnt know how to prepare the data to
their specific needs.
Data != users

What if you already have a flow of data?
Always replace with FME? No
Should you consider options on how to improve the flow of
data, independently of other software? Yes!

Bonus Tip from Frederic!
You can classify the lidar and find the vegetation
data by using the number of returns on the point
cloud. You can even compute the threes height!
