Geographia Technica, Special Issue, 2010, pp. 104 - 110 SOME CONTRIBUTIONS TO DERIVING TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURES FROM AIRBORNE LASER SCANNING DATADušan PETROVICABSTRACT: The airborne laser scanning data are one of the most promising source data for deriving
different spatial data. This method is widely used in urban environment and forestry, while
use for deriving topographic features is still rare. Slovenia has a crucial problem of regular
updating of topographic data at different levels. At the moment the largest scale map which
is regularly updated is National topographic map at scale 1: 50,000, but again without any
detailed data capture in wooded areas. Therefore some tests about possible use of ASL data
for that purpose were made. Set of small areas on different parts of Slovenia was chosen,
representing different types of terrain, and therefore significant diversity was achieved. |
