Documenting Impacts of Hydro-Meteorological Events Using Earth Observation

The ambition of H2020 OPERANDUM project is to develop and document Nature Based Solutions (NBS) to mitigate risks associated with hydro-meteorological (HM) hazards. NBS mitigate risks by reducing the vulnerability of a particular system. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the use of multisource remote sensing data in documenting the impact...

Density-Adaptive and Geometry-Aware Registration of TLS Point Clouds Based on Coherent Point Drift

Probabilistic registration algorithms [e.g., coherent point drift, (CPD)] provide effective solutions for point cloud alignment. However, using the original CPD algorithm for automatic registration of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) point clouds is highly challenging because of density variations caused by scanning acquisition geometry. In...

Fully convolutional networks for street furniture identification in panorama images

Panoramic images are widely used in many scenes, especially in virtual reality and street view capture. However, they are new for street furniture identification which is usually based on mobile laser scanning point cloud data or conventional 2D images. This study proposes to perform semantic segmentation on panoramic images and transformed...

Voxel-Based Extraction and Classification of 3-D Pole-Like Objects From Mobile LiDAR Point Cloud Data

The digital mapping of road environment is an important task for road infrastructure inventory and urban planning. Automatic extraction and classification of pole-like objects can remarkably reduce mapping cost and enhance work efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a voxel-based method that automatically extracts and classifies three...
