Triple-Surface Structure Extraction and Fitting for Control Point Positioning in LiDAR Point Clouds

Published: 10 July 2014 Publication History

Abstract

LiDAR technology, which is an important approach for capturing highly accurate geospatial information at large scale, has been rapidly developed in recent decades. The accuracy of laser ranging may achieve 2 to 3 cm under ideal conditions. However, this accuracy level cannot support the extremely high engineering scale mapping, such as railroad corridor mapping. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to decrease the navigation errors in the point clouds. The method is based on extracting and fitting the control point on the structure composed of three surfaces. This paper describes the LiDAR target design and the target identification algorithm. A detailed performance analysis is also given.
