Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is an active remote sensing technique providing range data as 3D point clouds. This paper aims at presenting a survey of the literature related to such techniques, with emphasis on the new sensors called full-waveform lidar systems. Indeed, an emitted laser pulse interacts with complex natural and man-made objects leading to a temporal distortion of the returned energy profile. The new technology of full-waveform laser scanning systems permits one to digitize the complete waveform of each backscattered pulse. Full-waveform lidar data give more control to an end user in the interpretation process of the physical measurement and provide additional information about the structure and the physical backscattering characteristics of the illuminated surfaces. In this paper, the theoretical principles of full-waveform airborne laser scanning are first described. Afterwards, a review of the main sensors as well as signal processing techniques are presented. We then discuss the interpretation of full-waveform measures with special interest on vegetated and urban areas. 相似文献

Full-waveform topographic LiDAR data provide more detailed information about objects along the path of a laser pulse than discrete-return (echo) topographic LiDAR data. Full-waveform topographic LiDAR data consist of a succession of cross-section profiles of landscapes and each waveform can be decomposed into a sum of echoes. The echo number reveals critical information in classifying land cover types. Most land covers contain one echo, whereas topographic LiDAR data in trees and roof edges contained multi-echo waveform features. To identify land-cover types, waveform-based classifier was integrated single-echo and multi-echo classifiers for point cloud classification.The experimental area was the Namasha district of Southern Taiwan, and the land-cover objects were categorized as roads, trees (canopy), grass (grass and crop), bare (bare ground), and buildings (buildings and roof edges). Waveform features were analyzed with respect to the single- and multi-echo laser-path samples, and the critical waveform features were selected according to the Bhattacharyya distance. Next, waveform-based classifiers were performed using support vector machine (SVM) with the local, spatial features of waveform topographic LiDAR information, and optical image information. Results showed that by using fused waveform and optical information, the waveform-based classifiers achieved the highest overall accuracy in identifying land-cover point clouds among the models, especially when compared to an echo-based classifier. 相似文献

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data are increasingly being used for land cover classification. The amplitudes of echoes from targets, available from full-waveform ALS data, have been found to be useful in the classification of land cover. However, the amplitude of an echo is dependent on various factors such as the range and incidence angle, which makes it difficult to develop a classification method which can be applied to full-waveform ALS data from different sites, scanning geometries and sensors. Additional information available from full-waveform ALS data, such as range and echo width, can be used for radiometric calibration, and to derive backscatter cross section. The backscatter cross section of a target is the physical cross sectional area of an idealised isotropic target, which has the same intensity as the selected target. The backscatter coefficient is the backscatter cross section per unit area. In this study, the amplitude, backscatter cross section and backscatter coefficient of echoes from ALS point cloud data collected from two different sites are analysed based on urban land cover classes. The application of decision tree classifiers developed using data from the first study area on the second demonstrates the advantage of using the backscatter coefficient in classification methods, along with spatial attributes. It is shown that the accuracy of classification of the second study area using the backscatter coefficient (kappa coefficient 0.89) is higher than those using the amplitude (kappa coefficient 0.67) or backscatter cross section (kappa coefficient 0.68). This attribute is especially useful for separating road and grass. 相似文献

全波形激光雷达的回波中携带了被测目标的距离与特征信息,为了获取这些信息,本文提出了一种回波分解方法。本方法将原始的全波形回波分解为几个独立的高斯脉冲,并得到其函数表达式,从而提取出被测目标的距离等信息。分解过程中,首先,采用可变阈值的经验模态分解滤波法(EMD-soft)对原始波形进行滤波和噪声水平评估;其次,采用一套应对多种波形组成的初始参数估计方法,获取后续拟合所需的初始参数;最后,采用LM(Levenberg-Marquardt)优化算法对回波进行拟合优化,从而获取全波形回波中包含的独立高斯脉冲及其函数表达式。仿真波形的分解实验表明,分解误差在0.1 ns量级,换算成距离误差为15 mm,通过实验室自制的全波形激光雷达实验系统获取的回波的分解实验表明,分解的距离误差小于0.1 m。对比另外两种高斯分解方法对于相同仿真与实验数据的分解结果可以看出,本方法在分解成功率与精度上都有较大的提高。回波分解后的独立高斯脉冲中,除距离外还含有被测目标的反射率、粗糙度、面型等丰富的信息,回波分解方法作为回波分析的基础,将在遥感、测绘等生产与科研领域中发挥非常重要的作用。 相似文献

Automatic Registration Between Low-Altitude LiDAR Point Clouds and Aerial Images Using Road Features
Peipei He Xinjing Wang Youchuan Wan Jingzhong Xu Wei Yang 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2018,46(12):1963-1973
Among the many means of acquiring surface information, low-altitude light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicle LiDAR, UAV-LiDAR) have become an important approach to accessing geospatial information. Considering the lower level of hardware technology in low-altitude LiDAR systems compared to that in airborne LiDAR, and the greater flexibility in-flight, registration procedures must be first performed to facilitate the fusion of laser point data and aerial images. The corner points and edges of buildings are frequently used for the automatic registration of aerial imagery with LiDAR data. Although aerial images and LiDAR data provide powerful support for building detection, adaptive edge detection for all types of building shapes is difficult. To deal with the weakness of building edge detection and reduce matching-related computation, the study presents a novel automatic registration method for aerial images, with LiDAR data, on the basis of main-road information in urban areas. Firstly, vector road centerlines are extracted from raw LiDAR data and then projected onto related aerial images with the use of coarse exterior orientation parameters (EOPs). Secondly, the corresponding image road features of each LiDAR vector road are determined using an improved total rectangle-matching approach. Finally, the endpoints of the conjugate road features obtained from the LiDAR data and aerial images are used as ground control points in space resection adjustment to refine the EOPs; an iterative strategy is used to obtain optimal matching results. Experimental results using road features verify the feasibility, robustness and accuracy of the proposed approach. 相似文献

The urban land cover mapping and automated extraction of building boundaries is a crucial step in generating three-dimensional city models. This study proposes an object-based point cloud labelling technique to semantically label light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data captured over an urban scene. Spectral data from multispectral images are also used to complement the geometrical information from LiDAR data. Initial object primitives are created using a modified colour-based region growing technique. Multiple classifier system is then applied on the features extracted from the segments for classification and also for reducing the subjectivity involved in the selection of classifier and improving the precision of the results. The proposed methodology produces two outputs: (i) urban land cover classes and (ii) buildings masks which are further reconstructed and vectorized into three-dimensional buildings footprints. Experiments carried out on three airborne LiDAR datasets show that the proposed technique successfully discriminates urban land covers and detect urban buildings. 相似文献

Wildlife habitat selection is determined by a wide range of factors including food availability, shelter, security and landscape heterogeneity all of which are closely related to the more readily mapped landcover types and disturbance regimes. Regional wildlife habitat studies often used moderate resolution multispectral satellite imagery for wall to wall mapping, because it offers a favourable mix of availability, cost and resolution. However, certain habitat characteristics such as canopy structure and topographic factors are not well discriminated with these passive, optical datasets. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) provides highly accurate three dimensional data on canopy structure and the underlying terrain, thereby offers significant enhancements to wildlife habitat mapping. In this paper, we introduce an approach to integrate ALS data and multispectral images to develop a new heuristic wildlife habitat classifier for western Alberta. Our method combines ALS direct measures of canopy height, and cover with optical estimates of species (conifer vs. deciduous) composition into a decision tree classifier for habitat – or landcover types. We believe this new approach is highly versatile and transferable, because class rules can be easily adapted for other species or functional groups. We discuss the implications of increased ALS availability for habitat mapping and wildlife management and provide recommendations for integrating multispectral and ALS data into wildlife management. 相似文献

Precise tree species classification with high density full-waveform LiDAR data is a key research topic for automated forest inventory. Most approaches constrain to geometric features and only a few consider intensity values. Since full-waveform data offers a much larger amount of deducible information this study explores a high number of parameter and feature combinations. Those variables having the highest impact on species differentiation are determined. To handle the large amount of airborne full-waveform data and to extract a comprehensive number of variable combinations an improved algorithm was developed. The full-waveform point parameters amplitude, width, range corrected intensity and total number of targets within a beam are transferred into raster covering a test site of 10 km2. It was possible to isolate the three most important variables based on the intensity, the width and the total number of targets. Up to six tree species were classified with an overall accuracy of 57%, limiting to the four main species accuracy was improved to 78% and constraining just to conifers and broadleaved trees even 91% could be classified correctly. 相似文献

In this letter, we present an approach to detecting trees in registered aerial image and range data obtained via lidar. The motivation for this problem comes from automated 3-D city modeling, in which such data are used to generate the models. Representing the trees in these models is problematic because the data are usually too sparsely sampled in tree regions to create an accurate 3-D model of the trees. Furthermore, including the tree data points interferes with the polygonization step of the building roof top models. Therefore, it is advantageous to detect and remove points that represent trees in both lidar and aerial imagery. In this letter, we propose a two-step method for tree detection consisting of segmentation followed by classification. The segmentation is done using a simple region-growing algorithm using weighted features from aerial image and lidar, such as height, texture map, height variation, and normal vector estimates. The weights for the features are determined using a learning method on random walks. The classification is done using the weighted support vector machines, allowing us to control the misclassification rate. The overall problem is formulated as a binary detection problem, and the results presented as receiver operating characteristic curves are shown to validate our approach 相似文献

Quantification of the urban composition is important in urban planning and management. Previous research has primarily focused on unmixing medium-spatial resolution multispectral imagery using spectral mixture analysis (SMA) in order to estimate the abundance of urban components. For this study an object-based multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) approach was applied to unmix the 30-m Earth Observing-1 (EO-1)/Hyperion hyperspectral imagery. The abundance of two physical urban components (vegetation and impervious surface) was estimated and mapped at multiple scales and two defined geographic zones. The estimation results were validated by a reference dataset generated from fine spatial resolution aerial photography. The object-based MESMA approach was compared with its corresponding pixel-based one, and EO-1/Hyperion hyperspectral data was compared with the simulated EO-1/Advanced Land Imager (ALI) multispectral data in the unmixing modeling. The pros and cons of the object-based MESMA were evaluated. The result illustrates that the object-based MESMA is promising for unmixing the medium-spatial resolution hyperspectral imagery to quantify the urban composition, and it is an attractive alternative to the traditional pixel-based mixture analysis for various applications. 相似文献

云的存在会对遥感影像的处理及目标识别等产生影响,因此,自动提取云对高分辨率卫星影像的应用具有重要意义。高分影像上更加复杂的云的细节形态及似云目标的干扰,使得高分影像的自动云提取难以达到实用水平。本文以雪地为例,选取形状、纹理和边缘3个差异化特征作为云与似云目标区分的关键,提出了一种区分高分辨率遥感影像中云和似云目标的云检测算法。首先利用Wallis滤波对输入影像进行预处理,增强影像中不同尺度的影像纹理模式;然后对影像进行快速稳定的均值漂移分割,利用灰度和纹理特征构成支持向量机的第一层分类器,将分割后的区域对象分成"云"和普通地物,再利用边缘、形状、纹理等特征结合灰度特征构成支持向量机的第二层分类器,将"云"区分为云区和似云目标;最后使用Grab-cut对云检测结果进行边缘迭代精化。本文算法取得了优良的试验结果,证明了算法在似云目标干扰下对高分辨率遥感影像进行精确云检测的能力。 相似文献

Study of surface brightness from backscattered laser intensity: calibration of laser data 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
《Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, IEEE》2005,2(3):255-259
Systematic laboratory measurements of laser backscatter intensity are presented for brightness calibration targets, and a calibration scheme for airborne laser scanner intensity data is proposed. Thus far, the use of these data has been partly hampered by the variability of the intensity with time, and no test fields have been available for airborne reflectance calibration. Portable brightness targets (tarps), with nominal reflectances from 5% to 70%, were manufactured, and, based on these measurements, found suitable for lidar reflectance standards. Furthermore, the variability of the recorded intensity from the tarps as a function of incidence angle was low. The measurements also provide new information on the surface albedo dependence of backscattering effects: as the surface brightness increases from 5% to 70%, the hotspot brightness peak amplitudes increase by 20% to 30%, and their apparent widths reduce to a half, which implies that hotspots could be used as an albedo discriminator. 相似文献
