Algorithms and Software Tools for Extracting Coastal Morphological Information from Airborne LiDAR Data
(2010-07-14)With the ever increasing population and economic activities in coastal areas, coastal hazards have become a major concern for coastal management. The fundamental requirement of coastal planning and management is the ... -
Constructing a GIS-based 3D urban model using LiDAR and aerial photographs
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Due to the increasing availability of high-resolution remotely sensed imagery and detailed terrain surface elevation models, urban planners and municipal managers can now model and visualize the urban space in ... -
Development and Progression of Aeolian Blowouts in Padre Island National Seashore
(2013-05-28)This study characterizes the development and migration of blowouts within Padre Island National Seashore (PAIS). A combination of aerial photographs and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) are used to track the migration ... -
Estimating forest structural characteristics with airborne lidar scanning and a near-real time profiling laser systems
(2009-05-15)LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) directly measures canopy vertical structures, and provides an effective remote sensing solution to accurate and spatiallyexplicit mapping of forest characteristics, such as canopy height ... -
Forecasting Recovery Opportunities for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker on Private Lands in Eastern North Carolina Using a Spatial Model of Tree Age
(2014-11-21)Currently, recovery efforts for the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW; Picoides borealis) primarily occur on public lands throughout the Southeast, where proven management practices ensure availability of ... -
Improving Roadway Diagnostics Using Network-Level Data
(2018-07-27)Large amounts of empirical data on transportation infrastructure assets continue to be collected at the network-level due to advancements in technology and in response to data-driven processes. These vast amounts of new ... -
Methods for Automated Identification of Roadway Drainage-Related Features from Mobile LiDAR Data
(2017-09-14)Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems have been increasingly used in project planning, project development, construction, operations, maintenance, and asset management. Typical data collected by a LiDAR system include ... -
Quantifying Coastal Marsh Erosion Using a LIDAR Terrestrial Laser Scanner: The Role of Waves, Soil, and Vegetation
(2016-07-26)Coastal marshes on the Gulf Coast of Texas are an important transition zone between the ocean and land, acting as an ecological buffer and providing invaluable ecosystem services to people and the surrounding environment. ... -
Sedimentological Reinterpretation of Surficial Unconsolidated Debris Flows and Stream Deposits of the Southern Flanks of Grand Mesa, CO: An Integrated LiDAR Approach
(2014-08-08)The southern slopes of Grand Mesa Colorado consist of glacio-fluvial sediments deposited when the Pleistocene ice cap draping Grand Mesa melted. Debris flows intermixed with braided and meandering stream deposits, were the ... -
Spatial Trends and Factors of Pimple Mound Formation in East-Central Texas
(2012-07-16)Pimple mounds are circular to elliptical domes with basal diameters ranging from 3 to more than 30 m, and heights of 30 cm to more than 2 m above intermound levels. For almost two centuries, the origin of these features ... -
Using LiDAR and normalized difference vegetation index to remotely determine LAI and percent canopy cover at varying scales
(2009-05-15)The use of airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) as a direct method to evaluate forest canopy parameters is vital in addressing both forest management and ecological concerns. The overall goal of this study was to ...
