New Approaches For Evaluating Lidar-Derived Shoreline, Christopher Parrish, Stephen A. White, Brian R. Calder, Shachak Pe'eri, Yuri Rzhanov

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

This study presents and compares two new methods of assessing the uncertainty of lidar-derived National Shoreline mapped by NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey: an empirical (ground-based) approach and a stochastic (Monte Carlo) approach. OCIS codes: (280.3640) Lidar; (120.2830) Height measurements; (000.4430) Numerical approximation and analysis


Simulating An Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (Alb) System, Shachak Pe'eri, Amaresh M. Kumar, Brian R. Calder Jun 2010

Simulating An Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (Alb) System, Shachak Pe'eri, Amaresh M. Kumar, Brian R. Calder

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

This study’s focus is on the horizontal and vertical uncertainties associated with ALB measurements due to scattering through the water column. A lidar simulator was constructed and we present its design and preliminary results.
