Research on the technology of LIDAR data processing

Abstract

LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) as a new high resolution earth space information technology, has the characteristics of short data production cycle, little influence by different weather, high degree of automation etc. Aiming at discussions on making DEM, DOM and the point cloud processing, this paper briefly describes the LIDAR data processing technology, states the present situation of this application in aspects of national economic construction and military detection. And then the application prospect forecast is put forward.
