Airborne laser scanning and usefulness for hydrological models [PDF]
Digital terrain models form the basis for distributed hydrologic models as well as for two-dimensional hydraulic river flood models. The technique used for generating high accuracy digital terrain models has shifted from stereoscopic aerial-photography ...

Advances in Forest Inventory Using Airborne Laser Scanning [PDF]
We present two improvements for laser-based forest inventory. The first improvement is based on using last pulse data for tree detection. When trees overlap, the surface model between the trees corresponding to the first pulse stays high, whereas the ...

Test field for airborne laser scanning in Finland [PDF]
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is a widely spread operational measurement tool for obtaining 3D coordinates of the ground surface. There is a need for calibrating the ALS system and a test field for ALS was established at the end of 2013.

Detecting Terrain Stoniness From Airborne Laser Scanning Data †
Three methods to estimate the presence of ground surface stones from publicly available Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) point clouds are presented. The first method approximates the local curvature by local linear multi-scale fitting, and the second method

Estimation of tree lists from airborne laser scanning by combining single-tree and area-based methods [PDF]
Individual tree crown segmentation from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data often fails to detect all trees depending on the forest structure. This paper presents a new method to produce tree lists consistent with unbiased estimates at area level.

Estimation of stem attributes using a combination of terrestrial and airborne laser scanning [PDF]
Properties of individual trees can be estimated from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data provided that the scanning is dense enough and the positions of field-measured trees are available as training data.

New Advances in Automated Urban Modelling from Airborne Laser Scanning Data [PDF]
Traditionally, urban models in many applications such as urban planning, disaster management, and computer games only require visual accuracy. However, more recently, updating urban infrastructure combined with the rise of mega-cities (i.e.
