Capturing and quantifying the world in three dimensions (x, y, z) using light detection and
ranging (lidar) technology drives fundamental advances in the Earth and Ecological …

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 …

In this study we use a technique referred to as Gaussian decomposition for processing and
calibrating data acquired with a novel small-footprint airborne laser scanner that digitises the …

A terrestrial laser scanner measures the distance to an object surface with a precision in the
order of millimeters. The quality of the individual points in a point cloud, although directly …

Most airborne and terrestrial laser scanning systems additionally record the received signal
intensity for each measurement. Multiple studies show the potential of this intensity value for …

The intensity information from terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) has become an important
object of study in recent years, and there are an increasing number of applications that …

During the last 20 years, airborne laser scanning (ALS), often combined with passive
multispectral information from aerial images, has shown its high feasibility for automated …

The objective of this study was to identify candidate features derived from airborne laser
scanner (ALS) data suitable to discriminate between coniferous and deciduous tree species …

Small-footprint (0.2–2 m) airborne laser scanners are lidar instruments originally developed
for topographic map**. While the first airborne laser scanners only allowed determining …

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 …
