Abstract
AbstractChange detection in urban areas requires the comparison of multi-temporal remote sensing data. ALS (airborne laser scanning) is one of the established techniques to deliver these data. A novelty of our approach is the consideration of multiple views that are acquired with an oblique forward-looking laser scanner. In addition to advantages in terms of data coverage, this configuration is ideally suited to support helicopter pilots during their mission, e.g., with an obstacle warning system, terrain-referenced navigation, or online change detection. In this paper, we present a framework for direct comparison of current ALS data to given reference data of an urban area. Our approach extends the concept of occupancy grids known from robot mapping, and the proposed change detection method is based on the Dempster-Shafer theory. Results are shown for an urban test site at which multi-view ALS data were acquired at an interval of one year.KeywordsAirborne laser scanningLiDARchange detectionmulti-temporal data analysisurban areas
