Assessment of Errors Caused by Forest Vegetation Structure in Airborne LiDAR-Derived DTMs [PDF]
Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a survey tool with many applications in forestry and forest research. It can capture the 3D structure of vegetation and topography quickly and accurately over thousands of hectares of forest.

Monitoring the Dynamics of Formby Sand Dunes Using Airborne LiDAR DTMs [PDF]
Coastal dunes play an important role in coastal erosion risk management, where they act as a dynamic natural sea defence line. Formby coast is part of the Sefton coast in the Northwest of England and is one of the largest and most rapidly evolving sand dune systems in the UK.

A Robust Filtering Algorithm of LiDAR Data for DTM Extraction [PDF]
For DTM extraction of road linear project from LiDAR data, this paper proposes a robust ground filtering algorithm. Firstly, a pyramidal hierarchical structure of ground candidate points is formed. Secondly, in each level, the Thin Plate Spline (TPS) surface interpolation is iteratively used to produces smooth surfaces, and based on the points ...

Analysis of the factors affecting LiDAR DTM accuracy in a steep shrub area [PDF]
The creation of a quality Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is essential for representing and analyzing the Earth in a digital form. The continuous improvements in the acquisition and the potential of airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data are increasing the range of applications of this technique to the study of the Earth surface. The aim of this

Development of a stream DTM generation methodology using UAV-based SfM and LiDAR point cloud. [PDF]
Filtering ground points and generating accurate Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) are crucial for hydrological and ecological modeling in riverine environments. This paper proposes a methodology for DTM generation in stream areas by integrating point clouds from a UAV-based structure from motion (SfM) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) while applying ...

METHODS FOR THE UPDATE AND VERIFICATION OF FOREST SURFACE MODEL [PDF]
The digital terrain model (DTM) represents the bare ground earth's surface without any objects like vegetation and buildings. In contrast to a DTM, Digital surface model (DSM) represents the earth's surface including all objects on it.
