Compiled by editors Jie Shan and Charles K. Toth, this newly published book provides a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of Lidar as an accurate, direct method for 3D geo-data collection of u...

在5月,狭窄,蜿蜒,肿块y streets of the city centre of Monte Carlo in the Principality of Monaco turn into a 3.34-kilometre racing circuit for the annual Formula 1 competi...

Lidar systems have been widely adopted for the acquisition of dense and accurate topographic data over extensive areas. Collected topographic data can satisfy the needs of several applications, such ...

The first commercial airborne Lidar systems appeared on the market in the mid-1990s. This active remote-sensing technology rapidly evolved to become the laser scanners which can today emit 400,000 pul...

Presented here is a novel photogrammetric suite, based on computer vision algorithms, that enables non-professionals working in engineering, agriculture, forestry, the military and government to produ...

The tenth anniversary International Lidar Mapping Forum (ILMF) took place in Denver, Colorado, USA from 3rd to 5th March 2010, attracting 642 registered professionals from all over the world and provi...

To exploit the full potential of Lidar data, three-dimensional (3D) spatial indexing capabilities are required in vendor systems. Multiple software packages are currently needed, which entails importi...

Light Detection and Ranging, or Lidar technology has become an industry-standard high-speed tool for collecting dense and accurate topographic data. However, proprietary or ASCII file formats for stor...

Nowadays, every child with a home PC has the technology, but in 1993 photo-realistic real-time rendering of geo-specific images was available only to supercomputer users. That same year, Tiltan System...

Early in 1997 I did research on gaining insight into the error sources of airborne Lidar. As you may have read in the editorial in this issue of GIM International, 1997 was the year that a highly det...
