Abstract: Aerial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) offers the potential to autogenerate detailed, three-dimensional (3D) models of the built environment in urban settings. Autogeneration is needed as manual generation is not ...

Abstract: A new algorithm is introduced to directly reconstruct geometric models of building façades from terrestrial laser scanning data without using either manual intervention or a third-party, computer-aided design (CAD) package. ...

Abstract: Automated conversion of point cloud data from laser scanning into formats appropriate for structural engineering holds great promise for exploiting increasingly available aerially and terrestrially based pixelized data for ...
