One of the things that I have learned in various teaching training workshops is to stretch yourself to do things that are out of your normal repertoire.
So I thought I would share a LiDAR rap song I have been tinkering with (Someday, I might actually perform it!) While giving a lecture on laser scanning, I caught myself off guard by the rhyming as I was describing LiDAR as a time of flight and line of sight technology. I told the students that I was going to develop that into a rap song. So here it goes:
LiDAR Rap V1.1
By M$lice
Dis is da LiDAR rap
To make da map
Without a gap
For yer App
LiDAR relies on Line of Sight
Using pulses of light,
But not too bright,
It calculates the Time of Flight
And can be done in da nite
Works from the ground or during da flight,
To give you da heightz,
But requires lots of bytes,
Objects in the way give you a blight,
But dont have fright
Youll learn how to avoid plight,
So it gits da job done right!
So you dont have to fight
With data that can fit your control nice n tight!
So you can be proud
Of your point cloud!
Come on foo, get loud!
Stay tuned for a music video!
