A cost estimator for a construction company has collected the data found in the source file Estimation.xlsx describing the total cost (Y) of 97 difference projects

A cost estimator for a construction company has collected the data found in the source file Estimation.xlsx describing the total cost (Y) of 97 difference projects and the following 3 independent variables thought to exert relevant influence on the total cost: total units of work required (X1), contracted units of work per day (X2), and city/location of work (X3). The cost estimator would like to develop a regression model to predict the total cost of a project as a function of these 3 independent variables.  a.

The pulse footprint at an angle of 15°

  1.      It is requested that you design an ALS mission to collect data on urban/sub-urban area. The area dimension is 10x15km2. The characteristics of the system used are as follows: a) pulse rate = 100 KHz, b) the scan angle = 30 degrees, c) beam divergence = 0.3 mrad. You have also been informed that the flying speed and altitude should not exceed 300 km/h and 1000m, respectively. [8 marks] Calculate: a-      The pulse footprint at an angle of 15°. b-      The swath width of a strip covered by the system. c-      The surveyed area rate. d-      The mean point density. e-      The mean point spacing. f-       The time to complete the mission considering an overlap area between strips of not less than 20% and maneuvering time of 40% of the flying time to cover the area of interest.
