LiDAR systems are usually incorporated a laser scanner and GPS/INS modules with a digital aerial camera. LiDAR point clouds and digital aerial images acquired by the systems provide complementary spatial information on the ground. In addition, some of laser scanners provide intensity, radiometric information on the surface of the earth. Since the intensity is unnecessary of registration and provides the radiometric information at a certain wavelength on the location of LiDAR point, it can be a valuable ancillary information but it does not deliver sufficient radiometric information compared with digital images. This study utilize the LiDAR points as ground control points (GCPs) to adjust exterior orientations(EOs) of the stereo images. It is difficult to find exact point of LiDAR corresponding to conjugate points in stereo images, but this study used intensity of LiDAR as an ancillary data to find the GCPs. The LiDAR points were successfully used to adjust EOs of stereo aerial images, therefore, successfully provided the prerequisite for the precise registration of the two data sets from the LiDAR systems.

LiDAR technology is a combination of laser ranging, satellite positioning technology and digital image technology for study and determination with high accuracy of the true earth surface features in 3 D. Laser scanning data is typically a points cloud on the ground, including coordinates, altitude and intensity of laser from the object on the ground to the sensor (Wehr & Lohr, 1999). Data from laser scanning can produce products such as digital elevation model (DEM), digital surface model (DSM) and the intensity data. In Vietnam, the LiDAR technology has been applied since 2005. However, the application of LiDAR in Vietnam is mostly for topological mapping and DEM establishment using point cloud 3D coordinate. In this study, another application of LiDAR data are present. The study use the intensity image combine with some other data sets (elevation data, Panchromatic image, RGB image) in Bacgiang City to perform land cover classification using neural network method. The results show that it is possible to obtain land cover classes from LiDAR data. However, the highest accurate classification can be obtained using LiDAR data with other data set and the neural network classification is more appropriate approach to conventional method such as maximum likelyhood classification.

Recently the necessity of road data is still being increased in industrial society, so there are many repairing and new constructions of roads at many areas. According to the development of government, city and region, the update and acquisition of road data for GIS (Geographical Information System) is very necessary. In this study, the fusion method with range data(3D Ground Coordinate System Data) and Intensity data in stand alone LiDAR data is used for road extraction and then digital image processing method is applicable. Up to date Intensity data of LiDAR is being studied. This study shows the possibility method for road extraction using Intensity data. Intensity and Range data are acquired at the same time. Therefore LiDAR does not have problems of multi-sensor data fusion method. Also the advantage of intensity data is already geocoded, same scale of real world and can make ortho-photo. Lastly, analysis of quantitative and quality is showed with extracted road image which compare with I: 1,000 digital map.

LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) is considered to be a very accurate and useful tool for detection and reconstruction of ground objects. LiDAR data has information about both intensity and x,y,z position of the ground objects. LiDAR data can be collected from both first and last-return, which are called multi-return, with up to 5 different returns simultaneously. In this paper, an approach to reconstruct buildings in urban area using LiDAR multi-return data is presented. The reconstructed buildings are combined with DEM(Digital Elevation Model) produced from DSM(Digital Surface Model) in given area to implement 3D modeling. As a result, it is shown that buildings in urban area can be reconstructed and classified by the integration of the multi-return and intensity data of LiDAR.

LiDAR는 자율 주행뿐만 아니라 다양한 산업 현장에 적용되어 대상의 크기와 거리를 측정하는 데 사용되고 있다. 이에 더하여 이 센서는 반사된 빛의 양을 바탕으로 반사 강도 영상 또한 제공한다. 이는 측정 대상의 형상에 대한 정보를 제공하여 센서 데이터 처리에 긍정적인 효과를 일으킨다. LiDAR는 고해상도가 될수록 높은 성능을 보장하지만 이는 센서 비용의 증가를 야기하는데, 이 점은 반사 강도 영상에도 해당된다. 높은 해상도의 반사 강도 영상을 취득하기 위해서는 고가의 장비 사용이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저해상도의 반사 강도 영상을 고해상도의 영상으로 개선하는 인공지능을 개발하였다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 최적의 초해상화 신경망 모델을 위한 파라미터 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 초해상화 알고리즘을 2,500여 장의 반사 강도 영상에 적용하여 훈련과 검증을 하였다. 결과적으로 반사 강도 영상의 해상도를 향상시켰다. 바라건대 본 연구의 결과가 향후 자율 주행 분야에 적용되어 주행환경 인식과 장애물 탐지 성능 향상에 기여할 수 있기를 기대하는 바이다.

A study on factors influencing measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) system was conducted in Kimnyeong wind turbine test site on Jeju Island. Three properties of wind including inclined angle, turbulence intensity and power law exponent were taken into account as factors influencing the measurement error of Ground-based LiDAR. In order to calculate LiDAR measurements error, 2.5-month wind speed data collected from LiDAR (WindCube v2) were compared with concurrent data from the anemometer on a nearby 120m-high meteorological mast. In addition, data filtering was performed and its filtering criteria was based on the findings at previous researches. As a result, at 100m above ground level, absolute LiDAR error rate with absolute inclined angle showed 4.58~13.40% and 0.77 of the coefficients of determination, $R^2$. That with turbulence intensity showed 3.58~23.94% and 0.93 of $R^2$ while that with power law exponent showed 4.71~9.53% and 0.41 of $R^2$. Therefore, it was confirmed that the LiDAR measurement error was highly affected by inclined angle and turbulence intensity, while that did not much depend on power law exponent.

LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) system can record intensity data as well as range data. Recently, LiDAR intensity data is widely used for landcover classification, ancillary data of feature extraction, vegetation species identification, and so on. Since the intensity return value is associated with several factors, same features is not consistent for same flight or multiple flights. This paper investigated correlation between intensity and range data. Once the effects of range was determined, the single flight line normalization and the multiple flight line normalization was performed by an empirical function that was derived from relationship between range and return intensity

최근 3차원 공간정보에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 신속하고 정확한 데이터 구축의 중요성이 증대되어 왔다. 정밀한 3차원 데이터 구축이 가능한 LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) 데이터를 기준으로 UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) 영상을 정합하기 위한 연구가 다수 수행되어 왔으나, MMS (Mobile Mapping System)로부터 취득된 LiDAR 점군데이터의 반사강도 영상을 활용한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MMS로부터 취득된 LiDAR 점군데이터를 반사영상으로 변환한 데이터와 UAV 영상 데이터의 정합을 위해 9가지의 특징점 기반매칭 기법을 비교·분석하였다. 분석 결과 SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) 기법을 적용하였을 때 안정적으로 높은 매칭 정확도를 확보할 수 있었으며, 다양한 도로 환경에서도 충분한 정합점을 추출할 수 있었다. 정합 정확도 분석 결과 SIFT 알고리즘을 적용한 경우 중복도가 낮으며 동일한 패턴이 반복되는 경우를 제외하고는 약 10픽셀 수준으로 정확도를 확보할 수 있었으며, UAV 영상 촬영 당시 UAV 자세에 따른 왜곡이 포함되어 있음을 감안할 때 합리적인 결과라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 분석 결과는 향후 LiDAR 점군데이터와 UAV 영상의 3차원 정합을 위한 기초연구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

LiDAR, one of the most important sensing methods used in mobile robots and cars with assistive/autonomous driving functions, is used to locate surrounding obstacles or to build maps. For real-time path generation, the detection of potholes or puddles on the driving surface is crucial. To achieve this, we used the coordinates of the reflection points provided by LiDAR as well as the intensity information to classify water areas, which was achieved by applying a linear regression method to the intensity distribution. The rationale for using the LiDAR index as an input variable for linear regression is presented, and we demonstrated that it is not affected by errors in the distance measurement value. Because of LiDAR vertical scanning, if the reflective surface is not uniform, it is divided into different groups according to the intensity distribution, and a mathematical basis for this is presented. Through experiments in an outdoor driving area, we could distinguish between flat ground, potholes, and puddles, and kinematic analysis was performed to calculate the maximum width that could be crossed for a given vehicle body size and wheel radius.

We propose an obstacle classification method using multi-decision factors and decision sections based on Single 2D LiDAR. The existing obstacle classification method based on single 2D LiDAR has two specific advantages: accuracy and decreased calculation time. However, it was difficult to classify obstacle type, and therefore accurate path planning was not possible. To overcome this problem, a method of classifying obstacle type based on width data was proposed. However, width data was not sufficient to enable accurate obstacle classification. The proposed algorithm of this paper involves the comparison between decision factor and decision section to classify obstacle type. Decision factor and decision section was determined using width, standard deviation of distance, average normalized intensity, and standard deviation of normalized intensity data. Experiments using a real autonomous vehicle in a real environment showed that calculation time decreased in comparison with 2D LiDAR-based method, thus demonstrating the possibility of obstacle type classification using single 2D LiDAR.
