Point cloud filtering on UAV based point cloud

Şanlıoğlu, İsmail

Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been attracted wide attentions such as a new measurement equipment and mapping, which are capable of the high-resolution point cloud data collection. In addition, a massive point cloud data has brought about the data filtering and irregular data organization for the generation of digital terrain models. Filtering of point clouds contains vegetations and artificial objects play a crucial role for bare earth terrain modelling. Topographical maps rely on the data structures which are built on bare ground terrain points. The bare earth surface extraction is not the only crucial to the topographical maps but also decision-making processes such as natural hazards management, deformation analysis and interpretation. In order to filter a UAV-based 3D ...
