Progressive Curvature Filtering (PCF)

Entry ID: LIDAR-PCF

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Progressive Curvature Filtering (PCF) is an iterative, multiscale approach for
finding positive curvatures representing non-ground returns in discrete return
LiDAR. The complex vertical arrangement of LiDAR data requires an iterative
processing approach to converge on an accurate solution of identified ground
returns. Through nested iterations, the PCF algorithm robustly addresses
topologic ...
