چکیده

Lidar images of adult salmon are presented. The lidar system is built around a pulsed green laser and a gated intensified CCD camera. The camera gating is timed to collect light scattered from the turbid water below the fish to produce shadows in the images. Image processing increases the estimated contrast-to-noise ratio from 3.4 in the original image to 16.4 by means of a matched filter.

Conditional 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...

Assessment of Airborne Lidar and Imaging Technology for Pipeline Mapping and Safety Applications

Safe pipeline transportation of energy resources is a major concern for the public. Since a pipeline has been built and buried, geologic hazards, corrosions and third-party damages all pose cumulative internal and environmental risks to the pipeline’s integrity. As today’s pipeline engineering and operation become more reliant on geospatial data for safety in the pipeline’s life cycle of design...

Bistatic receiver model for airborne lidar returns incident on an imaging array from underwater objects.

We develop a bistatic model for airborne lidar returns collected by an imaging array from underwater objects, incorporating additional returns from the surrounding water medium and ocean bottom. Our results provide a generalization of the monostatic model by Walker and McLean. In the bistatic scheme the transmitter and receiver are spatially separated or are not coaligned. This generality is ne...

New High-resolution Field Surveying Methods for Validation of Crown Attributes from 3d Scanning Laser Data

High density airborne LiDAR data has been used to provide detailed information on tree canopy structure. Recent research has reported that it is difficult to determine where the LiDAR data errors appear on the tree crown, as the returns generally underestimate tree height. This study introduces a novel way to assess vertical and horizontal patterns of airborne LiDAR data error using an error ma...

Integrated GPS-aided Inertial Lidar and Optical Imaging Systems for Aerial Mapping

High-resolution airborne Lidar and optical imaging systems with onboard data collection based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and inertial navigation syste ms (INS) technology may offer the means to gather accurate topographic map information. As a follow-up to earlier investigations, in May 2005 an airborne integrated GPS-aided inertial Lidar and optical imaging system was used to colle...
