The feature-based visual SLAM requires 3D positions for the extracted feature points to perform 3D-2D motion estimation. LiDAR can provide reliable and accurate 3D position information with low computational burden, while stereo camera has the problem of the impossibility of stereo matching in simple texture image region, the inaccuracy in depth value due to error contained in intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameter, and the limited number of depth value restricted by permissible stereo disparity. However, the sparsity of LiDAR data may increase the inaccuracy of motion estimation and can even lead to the result of motion estimation failure. Therefore, in this paper, we propose three interpolation methods which can be applied to interpolate sparse LiDAR data. Simulation results obtained by applying these three methods to a visual odometry algorithm demonstrates that the selective bilinear interpolation shows better performance in the view point of computation speed and accuracy.

As the price of LiDAR developed for autonomous driving has dropped dramatically, LiDAR has begun to be applied in various fields. Typical examples are vacuum cleaner robots, autonomous delivery robots, and autonomous obstacle avoidance drones. LiDAR is becoming the only means of figuring out the location of an object in real time while compensating for the weakness that 2D or 3D cameras are vulnerable to lighting. In this paper, we propose a method to monitor the movement of a patient by installing a 2D lidar in a hospital room. When a patient who needs intensive monitoring due to psychologically unstable, suicidal intention, or psychotic findings is alone in the ward, 2D LiDAR monitors the patient's movement and sends an appropriate alarm to the management room to effectively monitor the patient. devised a way to do it.

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.

In this paper, we propose a pothole detection system using 2D LiDAR and a pothole detection algorithm. Conventional pothole detection methods can be divided into vibration-based method, 3D reconstruction method, and vision-based method. Proposed pothole detection system uses two inexpensive 2D LiDARs and improves pothole detection performance. Pothole detection algorithm is divided into preprocessing for noise reduction, clustering and line extraction for visualization, and gradient function for pothole decision. By using gradient of distance data function, we check the existence of a pothole and measure the depth and width of the pothole. The pothole detection system is developed using two LiDARs, and the 3D pothole detection performance is shown by detecting a pothole with moving LiDAR system.

The 3D Hough transformation is the one of the most powerful and popular algorithm for extracting plane parameters from LiDAR data. However, there are some problems when extracting building roof plane using 3D Hough transformation. This paper explains possible problems and solution for extracting roof plane. The algorithm defines peak plane, exact plane, and LESS plane for extracting accurate plane parameters in the accumulator of the 3D Hough transformation. The peak plane is the plane which is represented by peak in the accumulator. The exact plane is the plane which is represented by the accumulator cell which is closest to the actual plane. The LESS plane can be calculated from all LiDAR points in the exact plane by using least-square adjustment. Test results show that proposed algorithm can extracts building roof plane very accurately.

Among components of digital topographic maps used officially in Korea, only contours have 3D values except buildings and trees that are demanded in landscape planning. This study presented a series of processes for 3Dreconstructing landscape features such as terrain, buildings and standing trees using LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data and aerial digital photo graphs. The 3D reconstructing processes contain 1) building terrain model, 2) delineating outline of landscape features, 3) extracting height values, and 4) shaping and coloring landscape features using aerial photograph and 3-D virtual data base. LiDAR data and aerial photograph was taken in November 2006 for $50km^{2}$ area in Sorak National Park located in eastern part of Korea. The average scanning density of LiDAR pulse was 1.32 points per square meter, and the aerial photograph with RGB bands has $0.35m{\times}0.35m$ spatial resolution. Using reconstructed 3D landscape features, visibility with the growing trees with time and at different viewpoints was analyzed. Visible area from viewpoint could be effectively estimated considering 3D information of landscape features. This process could be applied for landscape planning like building scale with the consideration of surrounding landscape features.

The purpose of this research was to propose housing estate planning that applies 3D spatial information to DAS housing estate planning program and to enhance applicability of 3D spatial analysis. In addition, this research evaluated the applicability of 3D spatial information to site planning of Korea Land and Housing Corporation and developed models for the purpose of applying the spatial information efficiently. Moreover, we tested applicability of LiDAR that can allow 3D spatial information to be more efficient and accurate. The results from cross section analysis implies that LiDAR has higher usability than existing geographic information. Additionally, this study shaded light on the suggested system development model that can simulate location or height of an apartment house by spatially analyzing difference between before-and-after site development.

A shoreline mapping is essential for describing coastal areas, estimating coastal erosions and managing coastal properties. This study has planned to map the 3D shorelines with the airborne LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) data and the KOMPSAT-2 imagery, acquired in Uljin, Korea. Following to the study, the DSM(Digital Surface Model) is generated firstly with the given LiDAR data, while the NDWI(Normalized Difference Water Index) imagery is generated by the given KOMPSAT-2 imagery. The classification method is employed to generate water and land clusters from the NDWI imagery, as the 2D shorelines are selected from the boundaries between the two clusters. Lastly, the 3D shorelines are constructed by adding the elevation information obtained from the DSM into the generated 2D shorelines. As a result, the constructed 3D shorelines have had 0.90m horizontal accuracy and 0.10m vertical accuracy. This statistical results could be concluded in that the generated 3D shorelines shows the relatively high accuracy on classified water and land surfaces, but relatively low accuracies on unclassified water and land surfaces.

The improvement of the reality capture concept has made 3D datasets an important resource for visualization and documentation in the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) field. Despite laser scanning providing the most accurate 3D models, it also entails some disadvantages, such as high equipment costs. Therefore, this study aims to compare the accuracy of four reality capture equipment types (LiDAR, UAV-based LiDAR, UAV-based photogrammetry, and 3D virtual tours), each offering different advantages and disadvantages. The findings suggest that aerial LiDAR, 3D virtual tour, and aerial photogrammetry offer increasingly less accurate alternatives to TLS, respectively. The results of the study may help construction companies when deciding on reality capture investment.
