여러 분야에서 활용성이 증가하고 있는 도시지역에 대한 3차원 모형화 구축은 기존에는 항공사진이나 고해상도 위성영상을 주로 활용하여 왔으나, 최근에는 높은 정밀도를 보장하는 항공LIDAR 측량기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 다양한 형태, 크기, 종류의 건물들이 존재하는 광범위한 도시지역을 모형화 하기 위하여 정밀도가 높은 LIDAR 자료를 통하여 신속하고 정확하게 현실에 가까운 건물 모형으로 복원하는 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LIDAR 관측자료 및 디지털 영상, 수치지도 등의 자료를 활용하여 LIDAR자료의 전처리 과정과 다양한 필터를 적용하여 지면과 비지면 정보를 분류하였으며, LoG 연산자에 의한 건물 경계선 및 특징점 추출기법을 개발하여 도시 지역의 3차원 건물 복원기법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we design an on-road vehicle detection system based on the combination of a camera and a LIDAR system. In the proposed system, the candidate area is selected from the LIDAR data using a grouping algorithm. Then, the selected candidate area is scanned by an SVM to find an actual vehicle. The morphological edged images are used as features in a camera. The principal components of the edged images called eigencar are employed to train the SVM. We conducted experiments to show that the on-road vehicle detection system developed in this paper demonstrates about 80% accuracy and runs with 20 scans per second on LIDAR and 10 frames per second on camera.

최근에 Lidar 데이터를 이용한 3차원 위치 정보와 지표면 속성 정보를 취득하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 높은 위치 정확도, 3차원 데이터 동시 취득, 기존 측정 방식에 비하여 점 데이터 취득의 자동화, 데이터 정확도의 안정성 등으로 인하여 복잡한 지형 및 인공구조물이 존재하는 지역에서 Lidar 데이터의 응용 사례가 많이 나타나고 있으며, 특히 건물 모델링에서 반자동 방식의 디지털 사진측량에 비하여 자동 모델링의 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 일반적으로 Lidar 데이터의 점밀도는 1점/㎡이내이며, 촬영된 스트립을 중복시켜 점밀도를 높이기도 한다. 건물은 크기와 형태가 다양하기 때문에 모델링에 필요한 점밀도를 제시하기는 어렵지만 5점 내외에서 모델링이 가능하다고 알려져 있으며 건물이외에 다른 지형지물에 대한 모델링 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Lidar 데이터의 점밀도에 따라 지물의 모델링 가능성을 평가하고 효율적인 데이터 취득 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In filtering of urban lidar data, low outliers or opening underground areas may cause errors that some ground points are labelled as non-ground objects. To solve such a problem, this paper proposes an automated method which consists of RANSAC algorithm, one-dimensional labeling, and morphology filter. All processes are conducted along the lidar scan line profile for efficient computation. Lidar data over Dajeon, Korea is used and the final results are evaluated visually. It is shown that the proposed method is quite promising in urban dem generation.

Laser scanning has become a viable technique for the collection of a large amount of accurate 3D point data densely distributed on the scanned object surface. The inherent 3D nature of the sub-randomly distributed point cloud provides abundant spatial information. To explore valuable spatial information from laser scanned data becomes an active research topic, for instance extracting digital elevation model, building models, and vegetation volumes. The sub-randomly distributed point cloud should be segmented and classified before the extraction of spatial information. This paper investigates some exist segmentation methods, and then proposes an octree-based split-and-merge segmentation method to divide lidar data into clusters belonging to 3D planes. Therefore, the classification of lidar data can be performed based on the derived attributes of extracted 3D planes. The test results of both ground and airborne lidar data show the potential of applying this method to extract spatial features from lidar data.

Laser scanned lidar data record 3D surface information in detail. Exploring valuable spatial information from lidar data is a prerequisite task for its applications, such as DEM generation and 3D building model reconstruction. However, the inherent spatial information is implicit in the abundant, densely and randomly distributed point cloud. This paper proposes a novel method to organize point cloud data, so that further analysis or feature extraction can proceed based on a well organized data model. The principle of the proposed algorithm is to segment point cloud into 3D planes. A split and merge segmentation based on the octree structure is developed for the implementation. Some practical airborne and ground lidar data are tested for demonstration and discussion. We expect this data organization could provide a stepping stone for extracting spatial information from lidar data.

Pedestrian detection has largely been researched as one of the important technologies for autonomous driving vehicle and preventing accidents. There are two categories for pedestrian detection, camera-based and LIDAR-based. LIDAR-based methods have the advantage of the wide angle of view and insensitivity of illuminance change while camera-based methods have not. However, there are several problems with 3D LIDAR, such as insufficient resolution to detect distant pedestrians and decrease in detection rate in a complex situation due to segmentation error and occlusion. In this paper, two methods using GM-PHD filter are proposed to improve the poor rates of pedestrian detection algorithms based on 3D LIDAR. First one improves detection performance and resolution of object by automatic accumulation of points in previous frames onto current objects. Second one additionally enhances the detection results by applying the GM-PHD filter which is modified in order to handle the poor situation to classified multi target. A quantitative evaluation with autonomously acquired road environment data shows the proposed methods highly increase the performance of existing pedestrian detection algorithms.

Airborne Lidar (light detection and ranging) can be an effective alternative in forest inventory to overcome the limitations of conventional field survey and aerial photo interpretation. In this study, we attempt to develop methodologies to identify individual trees and to estimate tree height from airborne Lidar data. Initially, digital elevation model (DEM) data representing the exact ground surface were generated by removing non-ground returns from the multiple-return laser point clouds, obtained over the coniferous forest site of rugged terrain. Based on the canopy height model (CHM) data representing non-ground layer, individual tree heights are extracted through pseudo-grid method and moving window filtering algorithm. Comparing with field survey data and aerial photo interpretation on sample plots, the number of trees extracted from Lidar data show over 90% accuracy and tree heights were underestimated within 1.1m in average at two plantation stands of pine (Pinus koraiensis) and larch (Larix leptolepis).

The range data acquired by 2D/3D LIDAR, a core sensor for autonomous navigation of an unmanned ground vehicle, is effectively used for ground modeling and obstacle detection. Within the ambiguous boundary of a road environment, however, LIDAR does not provide enough information to analyze the traversable region. This paper presents a new method to analyze a candidate area using the characteristics of LIDAR reflectivity for better detection of a traversable region. We detected a candidate traversable area through the front zone of the vehicle using the learning process of LIDAR reflectivity, after calibration of the reflectivity of each channel. We validated the proposed method of a candidate traversable region detection by performing experiments in the real operating environment of the unmanned ground vehicle.

The traditional approach to inverting aerosol extinction makes use of the assumption of a constant LIDAR ratio in the entire Mie-LIDAR signal profile using the Fernald method. For the large uncertainty in the cloud optical depth caused by the assumed constant LIDAR ratio, an not negligible error of the retrieved aerosol extinction below the cloud will be caused in the backward integration of the Fernald method. A new algorithm to determine aerosol extinction below a cirrus cloud from Mie-LIDAR signals, based on a new cloud boundary detection method and a Mie-LIDAR signal modification method, combined with the backward integration of the Fernald method is developed. The result shows that the cloud boundary detection method is reliable, and the aerosol extinction below the cirrus cloud found by inverting from the modified signal is more efficacious than the one from the measured signal including the cloud-layer. The error due to modification is less than 10% taken in our present example.
