Testing of Airborne Laser Altimetry Sensors

2018 5th IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for AeroSpace (MetroAeroSpace), 2018
This paper synthesizes the results of the mechanical shock, vibration and temperature tests that have been executed in order to verify the performance characteristics of the device under test (D UT) in environmental conditions representative of those which may be encountered during the operation of the equipment.

The ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry Mission

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2010
Satellite and aircraft observations have revealed that remarkable changes in the Earth's polar ice cover have occurred in the last decade. The impacts of these changes, which include dramatic ice loss from ice sheets and rapid declines in Arctic sea ice, could be quite large in terms of sea level rise and global climate.

Stream morphometry analysis by airborne laser altimetry

2014 IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2014
The river characteristics have played an important role for hydrological models. Sediments supplied from landslides may affect the river channel morphological changes in different reaches or magnitude; namely, the riverbed morphology can be related to disaster events.

Laser Altimetry in the Selene Project

1997
Laser altimetry of the Moon is now under investigation as a part of the RISE project in the Moon-Orbiting exploration (SELENE; SELenological and ENgineering Explorer) by Japan in 2002–2003. Main objective of this measurement is to construct a precise and global topography of the moon with the 5m vertical resolution and with a center-to-center along ...

Slicer Laser Altimetry In The Eastern Caribbean

Surveys in Geophysics, 2001
Data acquired by the airborne Scanning Lidar Imager of Canopies by EchoRecovery (SLICER) laser altimeter provided high-resolution digital topographicdata over Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and several of the Lesser AntillesIslands. The instrument was developed by the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center.It has the capability of multibeam resolution ...

Lunar laser altimetry in the SELENE project

Advances in Space Research, 1999
Abstract Lunar laser altimeter (LALT) has been developed for the Japanese lunar exploration SELENE (SELenological and ENgineering Explorer) in 2003. Lunar laser altimetry and two other selenodetic missions are put together and called RISE (Researches In SElenodesy) project that has been developed mainly by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan ...

Spaceborne laser altimetry

SPIE Proceedings, 1997
Space-based laser altimeters are effective in providing topographic measurements critically important to the understanding of the formation and early evolution of planetary bodies. Using laser altimetry data, topographic grids can be produced that provide significant insight into the shape, internal structure and evolution of the subject body.

The Geoscience Laser Altimetry/Ranging System

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1987
The Geoscience Laser Altimetry/Ranging System (GLARS) is a planned highly precise laser distance-measuring system to be used for geoscience measurements requiring extremely accurate geodetic observations from a space platform. The system combines the attributes of a pointable laser ranging system making observations to retroreflectors placed on the ...

DEM Control in Arctic Alaska With ICESat Laser Altimetry

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2007
Use of Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) laser altimetry is demonstrated for control of a digital elevation model (DEM) that is synthesized from repeat-pass ERS-1 and 2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery using interferomet-ric SAR (InSAR).
