Abstract: |
Aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) offers the potential to generate detailed, threedimensional models of the built environment in urban settings. Such models would offer distinct advantages for a wide range of applications from improved noise and pollution prediction to disaster mitigation modelling. Presently, some impediments to such important data capture are a function of the current technology and an outgrowth of the geometry of dense urban development. This paper outlines the difficulties related to effective vertical data capture in an urban environment and recommends specific approaches toward a geometric optimization of this problem. |
