Gaussian decomposition and calibration of a novel small-footprint full-waveform digitising airborne laser scanner
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a technique referred to as Gaussian decomposition for processing and calibrating data acquired with a novel small-footprint airborne laser scanner that digitises the complete waveform of the laser pulses scattered back from the Earth's surface.
