Coastline Extraction from Airborne LiDAR Data
항공라이다데이터를 이용한 해안선 추출
Abstract
Coastline has been considered as fundamental geographic information of a nation. Recently, the coastlines of higher resolution and accuracy with less update period ever than before are increasingly required. This requirement cannot be easily satisfied with the most traditional methods based on field survey such as leveling or GPS measurements. The newly developed airborne LIDAR system can be used as a promising alternative since it rapidly acquire numerous three-dimensional points densely sampled from the terrain around the coastline. Hence, in this study we developed a nearly automatic method to extract the coastline from LIDAR data and applied it to real data to verify its performance. From the comparison of the extracted coastlines with those from a digital map, we conclude that the proposed method can provide more accurate and precise lines.
