Abstract:

LiDAR-based elevation surveys ; are a cost-effective means for ; mapping topography over large ; areas. LiDAR surveys use an ; airplane-mounted or ground-based ; laser radar unit to scan terrain. ; Post-processing techniques are ; applied to remove vegetation and ; reveal the bare-earth elevations. ; In recent years, LiDAR hardware ; and processing technologies ; have improved greatly. LiDAR ; surveys are now cost-competitive ; with traditional aerial topographic ; surveys and offer the capability ; to produce very high resolutions ; (potentially over 50 points per m2 ; with <10 cm vertical accuracy for ; airborne systems).
