Abstract
Processing of the raw LiDAR data requires the high-end processor, because data form is a vector. In contrast, if LiDAR data is converted into a regular grid pattern by filltering, that has advantage of being in a low-cost equipment, because of the simple structure and faster processing speed. Especially, by using grid data classification, such as Quadtree, some of trees and cars are removed, so it has advantage of modeling. Therefore, this study presents the algorithm for automatic extraction of ground points using Quadtree and refion growing method from LiDAR data. In addition, Error analysis was performed based on the 1:5000 digital map of sample area to analyze the classification of ground points. In a result, the ground classification accuracy is over 98%. So it has the advantage of extracting the ground points. In addition, non-ground points, such as cars and tree, are effectively removed as using Quadtree and region growing method.
