Lidar survey of the territory of the Province of Trento

LIDAR (Light -or Laser - Detection and Ranging) is an 'active' remote sensing technique that allows topographical surveys to be carried out by means of an aerial vehicle on which a laser scanner is installed that acquires data at very high speed and high resolution. This section provides the laser scanning survey and the creation of digital terrain models (DTM) and surface models (DSM) for the entire territory of the Autonomous Province of Trento (PAT).

Description

The LIDAR technique involves the use of a laser scanner consisting of a laser transmitter, a receiver (a telescope) and a data acquisition system. What is obtained is a set of points to each of which is associated a datum relating to geographical coordinates, the altitude calculated on the basis of the time difference between the emitted and reflected signal, and the value of the reflected signal intensity. By analysing the reflected points, a multiple return of the signal can be observed and in the presence of dense vegetation the Lidar can penetrate by reflecting points at various levels of the foliage and on the ground, allowing then through appropriate processing to discriminate the impulses belonging to the ground from the impulses classifiable as tree and shrub surfaces, anthropic elements such as electric cables, bridges, buildings, etc.
