Performance evaluation of a light weight multi-echo LiDAR for unmanned rotorcraft applications
The paper presents a light-weight and low-cost airborne terrain mapping system. The developed Airborne LiDAR Scanner (ALS) system consists of a high-precision GNSS receiver, an inertial measurement unit and a magnetic compass which are used to complement a LiDAR sensor in order to compute a digital surface model. Evaluation of the accuracy of the generated surface model is presented. Additional...
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 کاملThe Autonomous Mini Helicopter: a Powerful Platform for Mobile Mapping
In this paper, the developments related to an autonomous airborne mobile mapping system for photogrammetric processing will be presented. During the last years the author has been involved in several projects related to mobile mapping using an autonomously flying model helicopter, a so-called mini UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The overall motivation of using mini UAVs for mobile mapping, the d...
متن کاملAirborne mapping using LIDAR
Mapping is a central and common task in robotics research. Building an accurate map without human assistance provides several applications such as space missions, search and rescue, surveillance and can be used in dangerous areas. One application for robotic mapping is to measure changes in terrain volume. In Sweden there are over a hundred landfills that are regulated by laws that says that th...
متن کاملIntegration of Lidar and Photogrammetry for Close Range Applications
Various versions of LIDAR scanners (satellite-borne, airborne, and terrestrial) are perceived as fast and reliable technologies for direct acquisition of spatial data about the objects of interest. Compared to other measurement methods (e.g., photogrammetric manipulation of imagery), the equipment used for such scanners is still multi-part, bulky, and expensive. Moreover, ground-based LIDAR sca...
