Generation of DEM from LIDAR data

چکیده
Obtaining high resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) is a critical task for analysis and visualization in several remote sensing applications. LIDAR technology provides an effective way for obtaining highresolution topographic information. This paper presents a textured-based novel automatic algorithm for DEM generation from LIDAR data. The proposed technique uses multifractal-based textural features for object identification combined with a maximum slope filter. Although this work is concentrated on DEM generation, certain aspects of the algorithm make it suitable for classification of LIDAR data into other types of data. Some experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The REIN algorithm makes use of the redundancy in lidar point cloud to generate bare ground DEM and vegetation canopy nDSM. The influence of the input lidar point density on the DEM precision and consequently also on the nDSM precision in the context of REIN have been analyzed in a rough-relief submediterranean karstic forested site. Different lidar point densities were simulated by thinning th...
