DESCRIPTION

51       v.lidar.edgedetection is the first of three step to filter LIDAR  data.
52       It  detects the edge of each single feature over the terrain surface of
53       a LIDAR point surface. First of all, those points with a high  gradient
54       value  are  determined.  Then,  it is valued the difference between the
55       observation of those points and a  generic  interpolated  surface  with
56       splines.  If  the difference is positive, then the point could supposed
57       to be inside the object, else the point could supposed  to  be  outside
58       the  object.  The final output will be a vector map in which points has
59       been classified as TERRAIN, EDGE or UNKNOWN. This output  will  be  the
60       input of v.lidar.growing module.

NOTES

63       In  this module, an external table will be created which will be useful
64       for the next module of the procedure of LIDAR data filtering.  In  this
65       table  the  interpolated  height values of each point will be recorded.
66       The  final  result  of  the  whole  procedure   (v.lidar.edgedetection,
67       v.lidar.growing,  v.lidar.correction) will be a point classification in
68       four categories:
69       TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE
70       TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE
71       OBJECT SINGLE PULSE
72       OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE
