Building Points Classification from Raw LiDAR Data by Information Theory

In general, a classification process between ground data and non-ground data, which include building objects, is required prior to producing a DEM for a certain surface reconstruction from LiDAR data in which the DEM can be produced from the ground data, and certain objects like buildings can be reconstructed using non-ground data. Thus, an exact classification between ground and non-ground data from LiDAR data is the most important factor in the ground reconstruction process using LiDAR data. In particular, building objects can be largely used as digital maps, orthophotos, and urban planning regarding the object in the ground and become an essential to providing three dimensional information for certain urban areas. In this study, an entropy theory, which has been used as a standard of disorder or uncertainty for data used in the information theory, is used to apply a more objective and generalized method in the recognition and segmentation of buildings from raw LiDAR data. In particular, a method that directly uses the raw LiDAR data, which is a type of point shape vector data, without any changes, to a type of normal lattices was proposed, and the existing algorithm that segments LiDAR data into ground and non-ground data as a binarization manner was improved. In addition, this study proposes a generalized building extraction method that excludes precedent information for buildings and topographies and subsidiary materials, which have different data sources.
