Constraint Energies for the Adaptation of 2d River Borderlines to Airborne Laserscanning Data Using Snakes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The German Authoritative Topographic Cartographic Information System (ATKIS) stores the height and the 2D position of the objects in a dual system. The digital terrain model (DTM), often acquired by airborne laser scanning (ALS), supplies the height information in a regular grid, whereas 2D vector data are provided in the digital landscape model (DLM). However, an increasing number of applications, such as flood risk modelling, require the combined processing and visualization of these two data sets. Due to different kinds of acquisition, processing, and modelling discrepancies exist between the DTM and DLM and thus a simple integration may lead to semantically incorrect 3D objects. For example, rivers may flow uphill. In this paper we propose an algorithm for the adaptation of 2D river borderlines to ALS data by means of snakes. Besides the two basic energy terms of the snake, the internal and image energy, 3D object knowledge is introduced in the constraint energy in order to guarantee the semantic correctness of the rivers in a combined data set. The image energy is based on ALS intensity and height information and derived products. Additionally, features of rivers in the DTM, such as the flow direction or the river profile, are formulated as constraints in order to fulfil the semantic properties of rivers and stabilize the adaptation process. Furthermore, the known concept of twin snakes exploits the width of the river and also supports the procedure. Some results are given to show the applicability of the algorithm.

Adaptation of Roads to Als Data by Means of Network Snakes
In the Authoritative Topographic Cartographic Information System (ATKIS), which is the main public topographic data base in Germany, the heights and the 2D positions of objects such as roads are stored separately in the digital terrain model (DTM) and digital landscape model (DLM). However, for many applications a combined visualization and processing of these two data sets is useful, leading t...
متن کاملConditional Random Fields for Airborne Lidar Point Cloud Classification in Urban Area
Over the past decades, urban growth has been known as a worldwide phenomenon that includes widening process and expanding pattern. While the cities are changing rapidly, their quantitative analysis as well as decision making in urban planning can benefit from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) digital models. The recent developments in imaging and non-imaging sensor technologies, s...
متن کاملAirborne Laserscanning in Archaeology: Maturing Methods and Democratizing Applications
Archaeologists have been using airborne laserscanning (ALS) for over a decade in projects ranging from heritage management schemes for post-industrial uplands in the UK or state-managed forests in Germany to research on cities now obscured by tropical jungle canopy in Central Mexico. The basic methods for the analysis and interpretation of this data have matured considerably and data is increas...
متن کاملExtraction of Non-forest Trees for Biomass Assessment Based on Airborne and Terrestrial LiDAR Data
The main goal of the federal funded project ‘LiDAR based biomass assessment’ is the nationwide investigation of the biomass potential coming from wood cuttings of non-forest trees. In this context, first and last pulse airborne laserscanning (F+L) data serve as preferred database. First of all, mandatory field calibrations are performed for pre-defined grove types. For this purpose, selected re...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Modelling of Breaklines from Airborne Laser Scanner Data
Airborne laserscanning allows a very detailed sampling of the landscape within a more or less automated recording procedure. For the representation of models computed on the basis of this data mostly raster or triangulated irregular networks (TINs) are used, which do only implicitly store breakline information. For high quality surface modelling breaklines must be explicitly stored within the d...
