A MATLAB GEODETIC SOFTWARE FOR PROCESSING AIRBORNE LIDAR BATHYMETRY DATA

A Matlab Geodetic Software for Processing Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Data

The ability to build three-dimensional models through technologies based on satellite navigation systems GNSS and the continuous development of new sensors, as Airborne Laser Scanning Hydrography (ALH), data acquisition methods and 3D multi-resolution representations, have contributed significantly to the digital 3D documentation, mapping, preservation and representation of landscapes and herit...

Airborne Lidar Bathymetry

Airborne Lidar Data Processing and Information Extraction

February 2007 109 continued on page 110 Lidar is changing the paradigm of terrain mapping and gaining popularity in many applications such as floodplain mapping, hydrology, geomorphology, forest inventory, urban planning, and landscape ecology. One of the major barriers for a wider application of lidar used to be the high cost of data acquisition. However, this problem has been greatly alleviat...

LiDAR Bathymetry for Nautical Charting

Safety Of Life at Sea (SOLAS) is the overarching principle for all offshore operations and one of the major contributing factors to SOLAS is quality navigational charts that are comprehensive and adhere to International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) established standards of accuracy. However, a chart is only as good as the data that is used to compile it and one of the more challenging areas ...
