v.lidar.correction is the last of three steps to filter LiDAR
data. The filter aims to recognize and extract attached and
detached object (such as buildings, bridges, power lines, trees, etc.)
in order to create a Digital Terrain Model.
The module, which could be iterated several times, makes a comparison
between the LiDAR observations and a bilinear spline interpolation with
a Tychonov regularization parameter performed on the TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE
points only. The gradient is minimized by the regularization parameter.
Analysis of the residuals between the observations and the interpolated
values results in four cases (the next classification is referred to that
of the v.lidar.growing output vector):
a) Points classified as TERRAIN differing more than a threshold
value are interpreted and reclassified as OBJECT, for both single and
double pulse points.
b) Points classified as OBJECT and closed enough to the
interpolated surface are interpreted and reclassified as TERRAIN, for
both single and double pulse points.
The length (in mapping units) of each spline step is defined by
ew_step for the east-west direction and ns_step for the
north-south direction.
The input should be the output of
v.lidar.growing module or the
output of this
v.lidar.correction itself. That means, this module
could be applied more times (although, two are usually enough) for a better
filter solution. The outputs are a vector map with a final point classification
as as TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE, TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE, OBJECT SINGLE PULSE or
OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE; and an vector map with only the points classified as
TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE or TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE.
The final result of the whole procedure (
v.lidar.edgedetection,
v.lidar.growing,
v.lidar.correction) will be a point
classification in four categories:
TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE (cat = 1, layer = 2)
TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 2, layer = 2)
OBJECT SINGLE PULSE (cat = 3, layer = 2)
OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 4, layer = 2)
