Enhanced-resolution lidar

چکیده
To retrieve a high-resolution vector signal from a set of measured low-resolution vector signals, we deliberately delayed the synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver of a pulsed laser radar (lidar). Once several range-shifted low-resolution vector signals had been obtained, we independently applied a regularization method and the singular-value-decomposition method to restore high-resolution characteristics. The former approach remains preferable when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, whereas the latter provides results similar to those of the former, but with lesser effort, as the signal-to-noise ratio becomes high. © 1997 Optical Society of America [S0740-3232(97)00205-6]

Integration of Visible Image and LIDAR Altimetric Data for Semi-Automatic Detection and Measuring the Boundari of Features
This paper presents a new method for detecting the features using LiDAR data and visible images. The proposed features detection algorithm has the lowest dependency on region and the type of sensor used for imaging, and about any input LiDAR and image data, including visible bands (red, green and blue) with high spatial resolution, identify features with acceptable accuracy. In the proposed app...

Conventional discrete return airborne lidar systems, used in the commercial sector for efficient generation of high quality spatial data, have been considered for the past decade to be an ideal choice for various mapping applications. Unlike two-dimensional aerial imagery, the elevation component of airborne lidar data provides the ability to represent vertical structure details with very high ...
متن کاملEnhancement of Stereo Imagery by Artificial Texture Projection Generated Using a Lidar
Passive stereo imaging is capable of producing dense 3D data, but image matching algorithms generally perform poorly on images with large regions of homogenous texture due to ambiguous match costs. Stereo systems can be augmented with an additional light source that can project some form of unique texture onto surfaces in the scene. Methods include structured light, laser projection through dif...
متن کاملTree-height Measuring Characteristics of Urban Forests by Lidar Data Different in Resolution
Urban forests are important as valuable green resources to give moisture and tranquillity of mind in our living, requiring an efficient control of forest increase/decrease and growth rate. In this study, we conducted tree-height measurements using LIDAR data different in resolution at urban parks in the suburbs of Tokyo, and investigated the measuring characteristics. As a result, for conifers,...
