On-Orbit Geometric Calibration and Accuracy Validation for Laser Footprint Cameras of GF-7 Satellite
Remote Sensing, 2022 The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite uses a two-beam laser altimetry system in which each beam is equipped with a laser footprint camera (LFC) to provide geometric processing of the laser footprint images that assist in optical image stereo mapping.

Satellite Remote Sensing of the Greenland Ice Sheet Ablation Zone: A Review
Remote Sensing, 2019 The Greenland Ice Sheet is now the largest land ice contributor to global sea level rise, largely driven by increased surface meltwater runoff from the ablation zone, i.e., areas of the ice sheet where annual mass losses exceed gains.

Extraction of tidal channel networks from airborne scanning laser altimetry and aerial photography [PDF]
, 2003 The study of the morphodynamics of tidal channel networks is important because of their role in tidal propagation and the evolution of salt-marshes and tidal flats. Channel dimensions range from tens of metres wide and metres deep near the low water mark

A Synergistic Approach for Recovering Occlusion-Free Textured 3D Maps of Urban Facades from Heterogeneous Cartographic Data [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we present a practical approach for generating an occlusion-free textured 3D map of urban facades by the synergistic use of terrestrial images, 3D point clouds and area-based information.

Brief communication "Importance of slope-induced error correction in volume change estimates from radar altimetry" [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 In deriving elevation change rates (d<I>H</I>/d<I>t</I>) from radar altimetry, the slope-induced error is usually assumed to cancel out in repeat measurements.
