Some work on #lidar from nearly a decade ago: where does a lidar measure?
I'll add some follow up work in a thread.

The last in the miniseries describes data needed to compute #lidar uncertainties - what you need to request from a contractor if you want to do this - and some general wrap up thoughts.

This is all pretty technical yeah? A niche within a niche's niche.
Yup.
It is also a key building block in a much larger strategic investment.
I wish I'd been able to pick this off a shelf, not write code or agonise over matrix transforms, and spend more time on bigger questions. However - without it, the larger questions also fail. As soon as anyone asks "Ok awesome what's your observation uncertainty?"
Summary: by all means have big strategic dreams. Also keep your feet in the dirt.
