Airborne LiDAR Data Processing
Résumé
This chapter introduces the main data analysis methods associated with topographic and bathymetric airborne LiDAR systems. Data delivered by these sensors can be of two types: the majority of commercial systems deliver three-dimensional (3D) point clouds (systems referred to as multiecho), whereas a limited number directly provides the whole laser signal backscattered by the Earth surface (systems referred to as full-waveform (FW)).
