Identifying corresponding segments from repeated scan data

It has been demonstrated that surface changes in the order of millimeters are detectable using terrestrial laser scanning. In practice however, it is still virtually impossible to detect such small changes from for example repeated scans of a complex industrial scene. The three main obstructions are, first, a priori uncertainty on what objects...

Simplified 3D city models from LiDAR

Aerial laser scan data is widely used to produce 2½D digital elevation models automatically. However, creating full 3D city models from this data is a complex task. A simplified 3D model, like a 2½D model with vertical walls will be easier to produce automatically, especially when the model is not produced to look nice, but just to give...
