DESCRIPTION

54       v.lidar.growing is the second of three steps to filter LiDAR data.  The
55       filter aims to recognize and extract attached and detached object (such
56       as  buildings, bridges, power lines,  trees, etc.) in order to create a
57       Digital Terrain Model.
58       The modules identifies which is the internal area of every object on  a
59       LiDAR point surface. The classification categories from v.lidar.edgede‐
60       tection are now rasterized. For each cell, it is evaluated if  it  (the
61       cell)  contains  a  point  with  double impulse (difference between the
62       first and last pulse greater than a  given  threshold).  Starting  from
63       cells classified as OBJECT and with only one pulse all linked cells are
64       selected and a convex hull algorithm is  applied  to  them.  Simultane‐
65       ously,  the  mean  of  the corresponding heights (mean edge height) are
66       computed.  Points inside the convex hull are classified  as  OBJECT  if
67       their  height  is greater than or equal to the previously mean computed
68       edge height. This last step is done only in case  of  high  planimetric
69       resolution.

NOTES

72       The  input  data  should be the output result of the v.lidar.edgedetec‐
73       tion, module. Otherwise, it goes to error! The output  of  this  module
74       will  be  the  input of v.lidar.correction module. The output will be a
75       vector map which points are pre-classified as:
76       TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE (cat = 1, layer = 2)
77       TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 2, layer = 2)
78       OBJECT SINGLE PULSE (cat = 3, layer = 2)
79       OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 4, layer = 2)
80       The final result of the whole procedure  (v.lidar.edgedetection,  v.li‐
81       dar.growing,  v.lidar.correction) will be a point classification in the
82       same categories as above.
