Frequently, LiDAR data are analyzed in combination with optical imagery in order to perform precise city mapping. Tama Group developed a method to obtain measurable information based solely on laser scanning point clouds. Using LiDAR Data recorded by two sensors from slightly different positions you can create a city signature by extracting objects.
Classifications
Fully automated analysis enabled nine different objects to be classified:
ground
low, medium & high vegetation
building
water
roads
cars & moving cars
