Where Is the Ground? Quality Measures for the Planar Digital Terrain Model in Terrestrial Laser Scanning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the analysis of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data the digital terrain model (DTM) is one of important elements. To evaluate the DTM or to find the DTM by way of optimization it is necessary to formulate the measure of DTM quality. Three parameterized measures are proposed and tested against a comparative model for a series of TLS data. The measure equal to the number of points inside a layer of specified height above the plane appeared to produce the most distinct maximum for an optimal model. The measures have been applied to the planar DTM but their use for other models is possible.

Presenting a Morphological Based Approach for Filtering The Point Cloud to Extract the Digital Terrain Model
The Digital terrain model is an important geospatial product used as the basis of many practical projects related to geospatial information. Nowadays, a dense point cloud can be generated using the LiDAR data. Actually, the acquired point cloud of the LiDAR, presents a digital surface model that contains ground and non-ground objects. The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach of ex...

Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) technology, have altered quickly data acquisition for map production in surveying. In many cases, it is impossible to complete surveying of the desired area without TLS displacement in one station to another. Occlusion is innate in data acquisition, with this type of device. To solve this problem, TLS devices should be placed in different locations and scanning o...
متن کاملEarthquake Deformation Analysis Using Terrestrial Scanning Laser - Lidar Technology
Earthquakes leave in their wake permanently deformed ground. These deformations take on extremely complex surfaces and shapes. A new technology, 3-D laser-scanning Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR), allows for the rapid and remote sensing of damaged terrain to construct ultra-high resolution 3-D models of the ground. Scanning LIDAR targets the damaged area with sequenced LASER pulses that, in...
