Structure/Infrastructure Network
As density of LiDAR data increases the number of man-made features discernible on the landscape increases as well. Tools for automatic structure recognition and extraction, conversion and attribution, and change detection will be important tools for planning, assessment, and resource management. Share your interest and knowledge in theis application sharing network.
Example applications:
- Change Mapping
- Structure Extraction
- 3D Buildings
- Building Heights
- Urban Viewsheds
