A high-resolution 4D terrestrial laser scan dataset of the Kijkduin beach-dune system, The Netherlands

Sandy coasts form the interface between land and sea and their morphologies are highly dynamic. A combination of human and natural forcing results in morphologic changes affecting both nature values and coastal safety. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is a technique enabling near-continuous monitoring of the changing morphology of a sandy...

Influence of spatial and temporal resolution on time series-based coastal surface change analysis using hourly terrestrial laser scans

Near-continuously acquired terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data contains valuable information on natural surface dynamics. An important step in geographic analyses is to detect different types of changes that can be observed in a scene. For this, spatiotemporal segmentation is a time series-based method of surface change analysis that...

4D objects-by-change: Spatiotemporal segmentation of geomorphic surface change from LiDAR time series

Time series of topographic data are becoming increasingly widespread for monitoring geomorphic activity. Dense 3D time series are now obtained by near-continuous terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) installations, which acquire data at high frequency (e.g. hourly) and over long periods. Such datasets contain valuable information on topographic...

High-Frequency 3d Geomorphic Observation Using Hourly Terrestrial Laser Scanning Data Of A Sandy Beach

Geomorphic processes occur spatially variable and at varying magnitudes, frequencies and velocities, which poses a great challenge to current methods of topographic change analysis. For the quantification of surface change, permanent terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can generate time series of 3D point clouds at high temporal and spatial...
