The use of airborne LiDAR data obtained by airborne laser scanners has increased in the field of spatial information such as building modeling. LiDAR data consist of irregularly distributed 3D coordinates and lack visual and semantic information. Therefore, LiDAR data processing is complicate. This study suggested a method of LiDAR data segmentation using roof surface patches from aerial images. Each segmented patch was modeled by analyzing geometric characteristics of the LiDAR data. The optimal functions could be determined with segmented data that fits various shapes of the roof surfaces as flat and slanted planes, dome and arch types. However, satisfiable segmentation results were not obtained occasionally due to shadow and tonal variation on the images. Therefore, methods to remove unnecessary edges result in incorrect segmentation are required.

The 3D building modeling is one of crucial components in constructing 3D geospatial information. The existing methods for 3D building modeling depend mainly on manual photogrammetric processes, which indeed take great amount of time and efforts. In recent years, many researches on 3D building modeling using aerial LiDAR data have been actively performed to aim at overcoming the limitations of existing 3D building modeling methods. Either techniques with interpolated grid data or data fusion with digital map and images have been investigated in most of existing researches on 3D building modeling with aerial LiDAR data. The paper proposed a method of 3D building modeling with LiDAR data only. Firstly, octree-based segmentation is applied recursively to LiDAR data classified as buildings in 3D space until there are no more LiDAR points to be segmented. Once octree-based segmentation is completed, each segmented patch is thereafter merged together based on its geometric spatial characteristics. Secondly, building model components are created with merged patches. Finally, a 3D building model is generated and composed with building model components. The experimental results with real LiDAR data showed that the proposed method was capable of modeling various types of 3D buildings.

An airborne LiDAR system performs several observations on flight routes to collect data of targeted regions accompanying with discrepancies between the collected data strips of adjacent routes. This paper aims to present an automatic error correction technique using modified ICP as a way to remove relative errors from the observed data of strip data between flight routes and to make absolute correction to the control data. A control point data from the existing digital topographic map were created and the modified ICP algorithm was applied to perform the absolute automated correction on the relatively adjusted airborne LiDAR data. Through such process we were able to improve the absolute accuracy between strips within the average point distance of airborne LiDAR data and verified the possibility of automation in the geometric corrections using a large scale digital map.

3차원으로 구성되어 있는 실세계를 보다 효과적이고 신속하게 모니터링하기 위해서는 변화된 지역의 정확한 위치정보 획득과 변화 결과의 빠른 도출을 위한 자동화 방안이 필요하다. 일반적으로 변화탐지를 위해 사용되어 온 항공사진이나 위성영상은 자료 획득에 있어 날씨와 같은 자연환경의 영향을 많이 받으며, 자동으로 변화탐지를 수행하는데 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 반면에 항공 LiDAR 시스템은 영상시스템과는 달리 날씨 등에 영향을 상대적으로 적게 받으며, 지형지물에 대한 3차원 좌표 정보를 직접 획득하기 때문에 자동으로 처리하기에 매우 효율적이다. 본 연구에서는 항공 LiDAR 데이터만을 이용하여 도시지역의 시공간적 변화를 자동으로 탐지하는 방법을 연구 하였다. 변화탐지의 대상이 도시지역이므로 객체를 기반으로 다양한 변수를 사용하여 변화탐지를 수행하였다. 연구에 사용된 데이터는 서로 다른 시기에 획득된 항공 LiDAR 데이터이며, 두 데이터간의 변화탐지를 위해 먼저 상호정합을 수행하였으며, 개별 객체를 추출하기 위해 필터링과 Grouping 과정을 수행하였다. 마지막으로 Grouping된 객체를 대상으로 모양, 면적, 높이 변화를 비교하여 변화를 탐지하였다. 객체의 외곽선과 내부 영역의 모양을 표현하는 형상계수를 사용하므로 수평방향의 객체에 대한 기하학적인 모양 변화를 탐지할 수 있었으며, 객체의 높이값을 비교함으로써 수직방향으로의 변화도 탐지할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 수행한 객체 기반의 변화탐지 방법은 91.67%의 전체 정확도를 획득하였다.

To deduce 3D linear information which express shapes of buildings out of airphoto by fusion of airphoto and LiDAR data, this research went through 2 process. First, research made LiDAR data into projected data of 2D based on airphoto. For this, the virtual points were added to solve the visual problem of building boundary area which has poor information because the attribute in LiDAR data. Research construct irregular triangular nets from modified LiDAR data and judge visual triangular nets out of image. Through this, research can make reference to information of triangular nets in each image pixel. Second, 3D information was extracted from stereo images segments by combining extracted information of visible region and 2D irregular triangular nets. Matching way based on TIN for segments from stereo images was used. Matching condition based on TIN can improve about 20% of edge matching accuracy compared to existing quadrilateral condition of epipolar geometry.

LiDAR has capability of rapid data acquisition and provides useful information for reconstructing surface of the Earth. However, Extracting information from LiDAR data is not easy task because LiDAR data consist of irregularly distributed point clouds of 3D coordinates and lack of semantic and visual information. This thesis proposed methods for automatic extraction of buildings and 3D detail modeling using airborne LiDAR data. As for preprocessing, noise and unnecessary data were removed by iterative surface fitting and then classification of ground and non-ground data was performed by analyzing histogram. Footprints of the buildings were extracted by tracing points on the building boundaries. The refined footprints were obtained by regularization based on the building hypothesis. The accuracy of building footprints were evaluated by comparing with 1:1,000 digital vector maps. The horizontal RMSE was 0.56m for test areas. Finally, a method of 3D modeling of roof superstructure was developed. Statistical and geometric information of the LiDAR data on building roof were analyzed to segment data and to determine roof shape. The superstructures on the roof were modeled by 3D analytical functions that were derived by least square method. The accuracy of the 3D modeling was estimated using simulation data. The RMSEs were 0.91m, 1.43m, 1.85m and 1.97m for flat, sloped, arch and dome shapes, respectively. The methods developed in study show that the automation of 3D building modeling process was effectively performed.

Many studies have been carried out for automatic extraction of building by LiDAR data or airphoto. Combining the benefits of 3D location information data and shape information data of image can improve the accuracy. So, in this research building recognition algorithm based on contour was used to improve accuracy of building recognition by LiDAR data and elaborate building boundary recognition by airphoto. Building recognition algorithm based on contour can generate building boundary and roof structure information. Also it shows better accuracy of building detection than the existing recognition methods based on TIN or NDSM. Out of creating buffers in regular size on the building boundary which is presumed by contour, this research limits the boundary area of airphoto and elaborate building boundary to fit into edge of airphoto by double active contour. From the result of this research, 3D building boundary will be able to be detected by optimal matching on the constant range of extracted boundary in the future.
