For the accuracy assessment of DTM obtained by Airborne Laser Mapping Systems (ALMS), we selected 500 m spaced test points and analyze the accuracy of the DTM by various methods including GPS survey. To estimate the height at the point in between the test points of the DTM we produced a TIN, and to analyze the accuracy we use a GPS coverage map overlaid with the TIN. Compared with the existing method, DTM by ALMS is shown to be relatively accurate, and therefore, ALMS is applicable to 1/5000 digital terrain mapping.

Airborn Lidar technology has been applied to diverse applications with the advantages of accurate 3D information. Further, Lidar intensity, backscattered signal power, can provid us additional information regarding target's characteristics. Lidar intensity varies by the target reflectance, moisture condition, range, and viewing geometry. This study purposes to generate normalized airborne LiDAR intensity image considering those influential factors such as reflectance, range and geometric/topographic factors (scan angle, ground height, aspect, slope, local incidence angle: LIA). Laser points from one flight line were extracted to simplify the geometric conditions. Laser intensities of sample plots, selected by using a set of reference data and ground survey, werethen statistically analyzed with independent variables. Target reflectance, range between sensor and target, and surface slope were main factors to influence the laser intensity. Intensity of laser points was initially normalized by removing range effect only. However, microsite topographic factor, such as slope angle, was not normalized due to difficulty of automatic calculation.

This study evaluated the architectural density of urban district using airborne laser scanning(ALS) that is a method used in urban planning, water resources and disaster prevention with high interest recently. First, digital elevation model(DEM) and digital surface model(DSM) was constructed from Light detection and ranging(LiDAR). For getting the height of building, ZONALMEAN filter was used in DEM and ZONALMAJORITY filter was used in DSM. This study compared the floor from filtering with the floor from survey and got standard error, which is ${\pm}0.199$ floor. Also, through the overlay and statistical analysis of total-area layer and zone layer, we could present floor area ratio by zone. As a result of comparison with floor area ratio between airborne laser scanning data and survey data, the standard error of floor area ratio shows ${\pm}2.68%$. Therefore, we expect that airborne laser scanning data can be a very efficient source to decision makers who set up landuse plan in near future.

At present, Cadastral map of 2 dimensional is in the stream of changing it to 3 dimensional type supported by GPS and laser techniques. In addition, this steam can be explained at the same time with improvement of equipment of storing much information, support of equipment for imaginative 3D spatial information, and support of equipment of expressing land in 3D Cadastral. This study suggest to apply airborne lidar survey technique on cadastral map to acquire comparably and quickly detailed height of ground. For doing this, this study checked out credibility regarding accuracy of airborne lider survey. After choosing research area, this study has done the airborne lidar survey and acquire the result after surveying Cadastral Comparison Point to check out the accuracy of acquired results. In addition, this study check out the result of Cadastral Comparison Point and airborne lidar survey applied by paired sample t-test based on actual results. The result is that test statistics is 0.322 which is 5 % similar level and null hypothesis cannot be rejected, so this study found out that result of both survey ways are the same. Therefore, the result of airborne lidar survey can be utilized to build up 3D Cadastral information hereafter.

Recently data, which are obtained by the airborne laser scanner system have been utilized to rapidly obtain three-dimensional location coordinates for a large area. According to operation regulation, the distance between a GPS base station and a aircraft GPS is fixed within a radius of 30km. In this paper, we compare data obtained by GPS observation station operated in National Geographic Information Institute with those obtained by GPS base station for making a airborne laser survey.

The purpose of the present paper is to offer an analysis of LiDAR data processing and three dimensional terrain for Geographic Information System (CIS) applications. Generally, LiDAR survey is the method which obtains quantitative and qualitative information of the terrain using airborne laser scanning (ALS). We will get a most topographic data at a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN), Digital Surface Model (DSM) and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using LiDAR data. We examined many factors such as visibility, hillshade, aspect and slope using DEM and DSM. The analyzing results obtained from each item are thought to be regarded as leading factors in the terrain analysis. It is to be hoped that LiDAR survey will contribute a new approach to the terrain analysis.

In the airborne laser survey with GPS/INS, based on kinematic, the installation and operation of GPS base stations is necessary to allow three-dimensional location coordinates to be obtained quickly and precisely. However, in many cases, GPS base stations operate under difficult conditions. In this paper, we investigate the substitutability of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) for base stations, and we examine the influence of the distance between aircraft GPS and CORS on the Z-value. The results of our study demonstrate that, if the performance of GPS base stations within regulation distance is replaced with that of CORS, sufficient accuracy is guaranteed. Moreover, the performance of CORS beyond regulation distance is fairly good.

Airborne Lidar (light detection and ranging) can be an effective alternative in forest inventory to overcome the limitations of conventional field survey and aerial photo interpretation. In this study, we attempt to develop methodologies to identify individual trees and to estimate tree height from airborne Lidar data. Initially, digital elevation model (DEM) data representing the exact ground surface were generated by removing non-ground returns from the multiple-return laser point clouds, obtained over the coniferous forest site of rugged terrain. Based on the canopy height model (CHM) data representing non-ground layer, individual tree heights are extracted through pseudo-grid method and moving window filtering algorithm. Comparing with field survey data and aerial photo interpretation on sample plots, the number of trees extracted from Lidar data show over 90% accuracy and tree heights were underestimated within 1.1m in average at two plantation stands of pine (Pinus koraiensis) and larch (Larix leptolepis).

NASA, NSF and USGS jointly conducted a LIDAR survey over several sites in the Antarctic Dry Valleys and its vicinity, acquiring numerous surface points by NASA's Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) conical laser scanning altimetry system. The data set have high blunder ratio, and the conical scanning pattern resulted large variation of the point densities. Hence, to reduce the undesirable effects due to these characteristics and process the huge number of points with reasonable time and resources, we developed a novel approach to generate large-scale and high-resolution DEMs in robust, efficient and nearly automatic manners. Based on this approach we produced DEMs and then verified them with reference data.

Shoreline changes its shapes and attribution dynamically by natural, unnatural acts and is the most information for country. These shorelines can apply to framework data of MGIS (Marine Geographic Information System), and they are getting important to implement a phase of monitoring around coastal areas. This study proposed an algorithm automatically extracting shorelines to use a new developed LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data which is applying in ocean and coastal areas. Then, in result, it was compared to shorelines which is derived from ground survey. In result, it shows stable shorelines in various coast areas such as nature, artificial coast. Additionally, and a possibility of shoreline extraction through LiDAR data.
