Whittles Publishing is delighted to announce that Airborne and Terrestrial Laser Scanning has been awarded the Karl Kraus Medal by the ISPRS with the presentation being made on 31st August at the XXII Congress in Melbourne We are also very pleased for all the authors who have contributed to the book and especially to George Vosselman and Hans-Gerd Maas for their commitment and expertise which has resulted in such an acclaimed and highly successful book It is gratifying that our growing list of geomatics titles continues to receive recognition and we are endeavouring to create more books that will be equally well-received and useful
Written by a team of international experts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the major applications of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning The book focuses on principles and methods and presents an integrated treatment of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning technology
Laser scanning is a relatively young 3D measurement technique offering much potential in the acquisition of precise and reliable 3D geodata and object geometries However, there are many terrestrial and airborne scanners on the market, accompanied by numerous software packages that handle data acquisition, processing and visualization, yet existing knowledge is fragmented over a wide variety of publications, whether printed or electronic
This book brings together the various facets of the subject in a coherent text that will be relevant for advanced students, academics and practitioners After consideration of the technology and processing methods, the book turns to applications The primary use thus far has been the extraction of digital terrain models from airborne laser scanning data, but many other applications are considered including engineering, forestry, cultural heritage, extraction of 3D building models and mobile mappingread more

Octree-based region growing for point cloud segmentation
TL;DR: Empirical studies show the proposed approach to be at least an order of magnitude faster when compared to a conventional region growing method and able to incorporate semantic-based feature criteria, while achieving precision, recall, and fitness scores of at least 75% and as much as 95%.

Relevance of airborne lidar and multispectral image data for urban scene classification using Random Forests
TL;DR: The Random Forests algorithm is chosen as a classifier: it runs efficiently on large datasets, and provides measures of feature importance for each class, and the relevance of full-waveform lidar features is demonstrated for building and vegetation area discrimination.
