Towards DTM Generation from LIDAR Data in Hilly Terrain using Wavelets
نویسنده
چکیده
LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) for terrain and land surveying has contributed to many environmental, engineering and civil applications. However, the analysis of Digital Surface Models (DSMs) from complex LIDAR data is still challenging especially for highly sloped landscapes. Commonly, the first task to investigate LIDAR data point clouds is to separate ground and object points as a preparatory step for further object classification aiming at the generation of Digital Terrain Models (DTMs). In this paper, object and ground separation in hilly terrain from LIDAR point clouds is addressed by employing wavelets. The results show its potential for terrain feature extraction from LIDAR data as input for further classifiers.

Adaptive Slope Filtering of Airborne LiDAR Data in Urban Areas for Digital Terrain Model (DTM) Generation
A filtering algorithm is proposed that accurately extracts ground data from airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurements and generates an estimated digital terrain model (DTM). The proposed algorithm utilizes planar surface features and connectivity with locally lowest points to improve the extraction of ground points (GPs). A slope parameter used in the proposed algorithm is updat...

متن کاملGabor Wavelets and Gaussian Models to Separate Ground and Non-ground for Airborne Scanned LIDAR Data
To separate non-ground and ground is the first step of terrain feature classification for remotely sensed LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) data. The LIDAR data, which were captured by airborne laser scanner, contain terrain surface height information. This paper aims to segment non-ground (buildings and high vegetation) from ground (flat field) in hilly urban areas. Gabor wavelets were appli...
