DESCRIPTION

72       v.lidar.correction is the last of three steps to filter LiDAR data. The
73       filter aims to recognize and extract attached and detached object (such
74       as buildings, bridges, power lines,  trees, etc.)  in order to create a
75       Digital Terrain Model.
76       The module, which could be iterated several times, makes  a  comparison
77       between the LiDAR observations and a bilinear spline interpolation with
78       a Tychonov regularization parameter performed  on  the  TERRAIN  SINGLE
79       PULSE  points only. The gradient is minimized by the regularization pa‐
80       rameter.  Analysis of the residuals between the  observations  and  the
81       interpolated  values  results in four cases (the next classification is
82       referred to that of the v.lidar.growing output vector):
83       a) Points classified as TERRAIN differing more than a  threshold  value
84       are  interpreted and reclassified as OBJECT, for both single and double
85       pulse points.
86       b) Points classified as OBJECT and closed enough  to  the  interpolated
87       surface  are  interpreted  and reclassified as TERRAIN, for both single
88       and double pulse points.
89
90       The length (in mapping units) of each spline step is defined by ew_step
91       for the east-west direction and ns_step for the north-south direction.

NOTES

94       The  input should be the output of v.lidar.growing module or the output
95       of this v.lidar.correction itself. That means, this module could be ap‐
96       plied more times (although, two are usually enough) for a better filter
97       solution. The outputs are a vector map with a final  point  classifica‐
98       tion  as  as  TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE, TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE, OBJECT SINGLE
99       PULSE or OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE; and an vector map with  only  the  points
100       classified  as TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE or TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE.  The final
101       result of the whole procedure (v.lidar.edgedetection,  v.lidar.growing,
102       v.lidar.correction) will be a point classification in four categories:
103       TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE (cat = 1, layer = 2)
104       TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 2, layer = 2)
105       OBJECT SINGLE PULSE (cat = 3, layer = 2)
106       OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 4, layer = 2)
