Falling trees pose a great hazard to the safe and uninterrupted use of the road transportation system, during storm events. The present process of manually identifying potentially hazardous trees is laborious and inefficient. ...
Aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) offers the potential to auto-generate detailed, three-dimensional (3D) models of the built environment in urban settings. Auto-generation is needed as manual generation is not ...
Computation modelling has not been fully exploited for predicting building damage due to tunnel-induced subsidence, because of the expense and time required to create computational meshes for the vast quantity of buildings ...
With the rapidly increasing availability of laser scanning data and the growing pressure to use it as the basis for computational models, there has been heighten interest in quickly, cost-effectively, and accurately ...
In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) data has become increasingly available, in part as a result of significant technological progresses in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). LiDAR provides longitude and latitude ...
The decreased cost and increased processing speed for terrestrial laser scanners have made this remote sensing procedure much more attractive. The approach has two major advantages over traditional surveying: (1) a ...
