Eolian deformation detection and modeling using airborne laser altimetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Monitoring of landscapes or sea bottoms by means of laser altimetry or multibeam results in huge amount of data covering the same area in different epochs. Often stable benchmarks are not available in the area covered. We propose a geodetic/geostatistical method to analyze possible deformations in such area out of time series of data. The method is used for a deformation analysis of six consecutive years of laser data covering a dune section on the south-west coast of the island of Texel, the Netherlands.

Change Detection for Updating Medium Scale Maps Using Laser Altimetry
To increase the update rates of topographical databases, research is performed to automatically detect changes using airborne laser scanning data. After the determination of the bare-Earth points, the remaining points have been classified as either points on buildings or points on vegetation. Additional usage was made of registered colour imagery taken during the laser scanning survey. The resu...
متن کاملObjective landslide detection and surface morphology mapping using high-resolution airborne laser altimetry
A map of extant slope failures is the most basic element of any landslide assessment. Without an accurate inventory of slope instability, it is not possible to analyze the controls on the spatial and temporal patterns of mass movement or the environmental, human, or geomorphic consequences of slides. Landslide inventory maps are tedious to compile, difficult to make in vegetated terrain using c...
متن کاملUtilizing Airborne Laser Altimetry for the Improvement of Automatically Generated Dems over Urban Areas
Airborne laser altimetry is a highly efficient and accurate method of obtaining data for the determination of visible surface topography. With minimal processing, the laser data can provide coordinates of points on the visible surface with high spatial frequency and precision. Although this technology has benefits compared to photogrammetric techniques, there are limiting factors due to the las...
متن کاملCombined airborne laser and radar altimeter measurements over the Fram Strait in May 2002
Knowledge of sea ice thickness is critical for the prediction of future climate, and for assessing the significance of changes in thickness. Sea ice thickness can be calculated from radar or laser satellite altimetry measurements of freeboard. However, a lack of knowledge of snow depth introduces significant uncertainties into these calculations. This paper compares the first coincident airborn...
متن کاملSurface roughness on the Greenland Ice Sheet from airborne laser altimetry
High resolution airborne laser altimetry is used to determine the small-scale surface relief in central Greenland and estimate the contribution from spatial noise to stratigraphic records. The standard deviation of the surface roughness is 1.6 cm water equivalent, corresponding to a standard deviation of annual layer thickness of 2.3 cm we. This estimate agrees with an independent assessment of...
