Computational modelling of terrains

The book Computational modelling of terrains presents an overview of algorithms and methodologies to reconstruct, manipulate, and extract information from terrains.<br/><br/>It covers different representations of terrains (eg TINs, rasters, point clouds, contour lines) and presents techniques to handle large datasets.

Icesat full waveform altimetry compared to airborne laser altimetry over the Netherlands

Since 2003 the spaceborne laser altimetry system on board of NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) has acquired a large world-wide database of full waveform data organized in 15 products. In this research three products are evaluated over The Netherlands. For this purpose the raw full waveform product, the derived Gaussian...
