ABLE: Development of an Airborne Lidar
Abstract The acronym ABLE (Airborne Lidar Experiment) identifies a project to develop and fly an optical radar on a stratospheric platform for studies related to atmospheric radiation and composition. The prototype, ABLE 1, has been successfully flown on board the M55 Geophysica aircraft in the Arctic campaign of December 1996–January 1997 to observe ...

Is There Deep-Seated Subsidence in the Houston-Galveston Area?
Long-term continuous groundwater level and land subsidence monitoring in the Houston-Galveston area indicates that, during the past two decades (1993–2012), the groundwater head has been increasing and the overall land subsidence rate has been decreasing.

Shiftable Leading Point Method for High Accuracy Registration of Airborne and Terrestrial LiDAR Data
A new automated approach to the high-accuracy registration of airborne and terrestrial LiDAR data is proposed, which has three primary steps. Firstly, airborne and terrestrial LiDAR data are used to extract building corners, known as airborne corners and

Ocean Optical Profiling in South China Sea Using Airborne LiDAR
Increasingly, LiDAR has more and more applications. However, so far, there are no relevant publications on using airborne LiDAR for ocean optical profiling in the South China Sea (SCS). The applicability of airborne LiDAR for optical profiling in the SCS

Model-based inference for biomass estimation in a LiDAR sample survey in Hedmark County, Norway [PDF]
In forest inventories, regression models are often applied to predict quantities such as biomass at the level of sampling units. In this paper, we propose a model-based inference framework for combining sampling and model errors in the variance ...
