Ground filtering for airborne LIDAR is one of the core steps taken to obtain a high quality DTM. This paper presents a segments-based progressive TIN( triangulated irregular network) densification( SPTD) filter that can automatically separate ground points from non-ground points. The SPTD method is composed of two key steps: point cloud segmentation and clustering by iterative judgement. The clustering method uses the dual distance to obtain a set of seed points as a coarse spatial clustering process. Then the rest of the valid point clouds are classified iteratively. Finally,the datasets provided by ISPRS are utilized to test the filtering performance.In comparison with the commercial software Terra Solid,the experimental results show that the SPTD method in this paper can avoid single threshold restrictions. The expected accuracy of ground point determination is capable of producing reliable DTMs in the discontinuous areas.展开更多

It contains the digital generation of the LFM waveform and the digital internally Hamming weighted compression filter. Two methods for suppression of time sidelobe of the digital pulse compressor are employed. First, the LFM waveform is modified by using cubic phase pre distortion for reducing the effect of Fresnel ripples in small TB product LFM waveform. Secondly, anti aliasing filter is used before A/D converter for reducing spectrum skirt level of the returned LFM waveform. The parameters of the compression filter implemented with IMSA100 DSP are programmable. The experiments show that the peak time sidelobe level of the digital pulse compressor is less than -32 dB for TB product of 20.展开更多

The CKFPUA (conventional Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm) can obtain reliable results in the flat terrain areas, but it caused error transmission not making the accurate inversion of surface deformation information in the steep terrain. Considering this situation, so it needs to introduce topographic information for guiding phase unwrapping. Here the 90 m resolution DEM data have been used and it is obtained by SRTM (shuttle radar topography mission) measured jointly by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and NIMA (National Imaging Mapping Agency) of U.S. Department of Defense. This paper presents a SD-KFPUA (Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithm) based on SRTM DEM. With SRTM DEM directing InSAR image to implement phase unwrapping, the speed and accuracy are improved. By analyzing with the conventional Kalman filter phase unwrapping algorithms, it is shown that the proposed method can achieve good results in particular to improve unwrapping accuracy in the low coherence region.展开更多

This process is called "filtering". However, most of the cur- rent filters erode the bare earth in steep sloped landscapes and at discontinuities, and they retain low vegetation. Therefore, a new filtering method for extracting ground points based on a distance limit is proposed in this paper. The angle criterion is used to assure the robustness of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed filtering method can effectively derive the ground points from point clouds in complex urban areas.展开更多
