Abstract. With the development of airborne LiDAR, the use of LiDAR point cloud to construct DEM model is a hot topic in recent years. For the characteristics of time cloud filtering and poor validity, and the efficiency of non-ground point filtering is not high, the filtered point cloud has problems such as errors and leaks. This paper proposes a method of constructing DEM based on the point cloud filtering algorithm of airborne Lidar point cloud data considering special terrain. The experiment proves that the algorithm of this paper is effective for establishing DEM model, and the quality of DEM model is good.

Abstract. The power patrol has been completed by manual field investigation, which is inefficient, costly and unsafe. In order to extract the height of the power line and its surrounding ground objects more quickly and conveniently, and better service for power line patrol. This paper uses remote sensing data of unmanned aerial vehicle to carry out aerial triangulation, stereo model establishment and binocular stereo vision height extraction base on MapMatrix software, then obtains the power line height analysis chart. Then LiDAR point cloud data is used to verify the accuracy of the power line height analysis chart. The results show that this method not only meets the standard of power line patrol, but also improves the efficiency and quality of power line patrol.

The traditional practice to assess accuracy in lidar data involves calculating RMSEz (root mean square error of the vertical component). Accuracy assessment of lidar point clouds in full 3D (three dimension) is not routinely performed. The main challenge in assessing accuracy in full 3D is how to identify a conjugate point of a ground-surveyed checkpoint in the lidar point cloud with the smallest possible uncertainty value. Relatively coarse point-spacing in airborne lidar data makes it challenging to determine a conjugate point accurately. As a result, a substantial unwanted error is added to the inherent positional uncertainty of the lidar data. Unless we keep this additional error small enough, the 3D accuracy assessment result will not properly represent the inherent uncertainty. We call this added error “external uncertainty,” which is associated with conjugate point identification. This research developed a general external uncertainty model using three-plane intersections and accounts for several factors (sensor precision, feature dimension, and point density). This method can be used for lidar point cloud data from a wide range of sensor qualities, point densities, and sizes of the features of interest. The external uncertainty model was derived as a semi-analytical function that takes the number of points on a plane as an input. It is a normalized general function that can be scaled by smooth surface precision (SSP) of a lidar system. This general uncertainty model provides a quantitative guideline on the required conditions for the conjugate point based on the geometric features. Applications of the external uncertainty model were demonstrated using various lidar point cloud data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) library to determine the valid conditions for a conjugate point from three-plane modeling.

Data processing is a key to reverse engineering, the results of which will directly affect the quality of the model reconstruction. Eliminate noise points are the first step in data processing, The method of using Coons surface to determine the noise in the data point is proposed. To reduce the amount of calculation and improve the surface generation efficiency, data point is reduced. According to the surrounding point coordinate information, the defect coordinates are interpolated. Data smoothing can improve the surface generation quality, data block can simplify the creation of the surface. Auto parts point cloud data is processed, and achieve the desired effect.

Urban viaducts are important infrastructures for the transportation system of a city. In this paper, an original method is proposed to automatically extract urban viaducts and reconstruct topology of the viaduct network just with airborne LiDAR point cloud data. It will greatly simplify the effort-taking procedure of viaducts extraction and reconstruction. In our method, the point cloud first is filtered to divide all the points into ground points and none-ground points. Region growth algorithm is adopted to find the viaduct points from the none-ground points by the features generated from its general prescriptive designation rules. Then, the viaduct points are projected into 2D images to extract the centerline of every viaduct and generate cubic functions to represent passages of viaducts by least square fitting, with which the topology of the viaduct network can be rebuilt by combining the height information. Finally, a topological graph of the viaducts network is produced. The full-automatic method can potentially benefit the application of urban navigation and city model reconstruction.

The urgent need to improve performance in the construction industry has led to the adoption of many innovative technologies. 3D laser scanners are amongst the leading technologies being used to capture and process assets or construction project data for use in various applications. Due to its nascent nature, many questions are still unanswered about 3D laser scanning, which in turn contribute to the slow adaptation of the technology. Some of these include the role of 3D laser scanners in capturing and processing raw construction project data. How accurate is the 3D laser scanner or point cloud data? How does laser scanning fit with other wider emerging technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM)? This study adopts a proof-of-concept approach, which in addition to answering the afore-mentioned questions, illustrates the application of the technology in practice. The study finds that the quality of the data, commonly referred to as point cloud data is still a major issue as it depends on the distance between the target object and 3D laser scanner’s station. Additionally, the quality of the data is still very dependent on data file sizes and the computational power of the processing machine. Lastly, the connection between laser scanning and BIM approaches is still weak as what can be done with a point cloud data model in a BIM environment is still very limited. The aforementioned findings reinforce existing views on the use of 3D laser scanners in capturing and processing construction project data.

Landscape Element

Rural European landscapes are characterized by a variety of vegetated landscape elements. Although it is often not their main function, they have the potential to affect river discharge and the frequency, extent, depth and duration of floods downstream by creating both hydrological discontinuities and connections across the landscape. Information about the extent to which individual landscape elements and their spatial location affect peak river discharge and flood frequency and severity in agricultural catchments under specific meteorological conditions is limited. This knowledge gap can partly be explained by the lack of exhaustive inventories of the presence, geometry, and hydrological traits of vegetated landscape elements (vLEs), which in turn is due to the lack of appropriate techniques and source data to produce such inventories and keep them up to date. In this paper, a multi-step methodology is proposed to delineate and classify vLEs based on LiDAR point cloud data in three study areas in Flanders, Belgium. We classified the LiDAR point cloud data into the classes ‘vegetated landscape element point’ and ‘other’ using a Random Forest model with an accuracy classification score ranging between 0.92 and 0.97. The landscape element objects were further classified into the classes ‘tree object’ and ‘shrub object’ using a Logistic Regression model with an area-based accuracy ranging between 0.34 and 0.95.
