Airborne Laser Scanning is a well-known remote sensing technology, which provides a dense and highly accurate, yet unorganized point cloud of earth surface. During the last decade, extracting information from the data generated by airborne LiDAR systems has been addressed by many studies in geo-spatial analysis and urban monitoring applications. However, the processing of LiDAR point clouds is challenging due to their irregular structure and 3D geometry. In this study, we propose a novel framework for the detection of the boundaries of an object or scene captured by LiDAR. Our approach is motivated by edge detection techniques in vision research and it is established on graph signal filtering which is an exciting and promising field of signal processing for irregular data types. Due to the convenient applicability of graph signal processing tools on unstructured point clouds, we achieve the detection of the edge points directly on 3D data by using a graph representation that is constructed exclusively to answer the requirements of the application. Moreover, considering the elevation data as the (graph) signal, we leverage aerial characteristic of the airborne LiDAR data. The proposed method can be employed both for discovering the jump edges on a segmentation problem and for exploring the crease edges on a LiDAR object on a reconstruction/modeling problem, by only adjusting the filter characteristics.

A graph signal filtering-based approach for detection of differentedge types on airborne lidar data, Bayram, Eda; Vural, Elif; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2017-09-14) Airborne Laser Scanning is a well-known remote sensing technology, which provides a dense and highly accurate, yet unorganized point cloud of earth surface.

Spectral graph based approach for analysis of 3D lidar point clouds Bayram, Eda; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Vural, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Airborne Laser Scanning is a well-known remote sensing technology, which provides quite dense and highly accurate, yet unorganized, point cloud descriptions of the earth surface. However, processing of such a 3D point cloud is quite challenging due to its irregular structure and 3D geometry. In this thesis,two novel approaches for the analysis of unorganized 3D point cloud data are proposed, speciﬁcally the ones that are generated by the airborne mounted LIDAR sensor. These methods rely on the spectral grap...
Analysis of Airborne LiDAR Point Clouds With Spectral Graph Filtering Bayram, Eda; Frossard, Pascal; Vural, Elif; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-08-01) Separation of ground and nonground measurements is an essential task in the analysis of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds; however, it is challenge to implement a LiDAR filtering algorithm that integrates the mathematical definition of various landforms. In this letter, we propose a novel LiDAR filtering algorithm that adapts to the irregular structure and 3-D geometry of LiDAR point clouds. We exploit weighted graph representations to analyze the 3-D point cloud on its original domain. Then,...
Wavelet-Based Outlier Detection of Airborne Laser Scanning Data Akyay, Tolga; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (2009-06-13) The method of airborne laser scanning - also named as ALS - has recently turned out to be an efficient way for generating high quality digital surface and elevation models. In this work, wavelet-based outlier detection of airborne laser scanning data is discussed. The task is to investigate the effect of wavelet-based outlier detection for post-processing. Data and results are analyzed and visualized by using a MATLAB program which was developed during this work.
A multimodal approach for individual tracking of people and their belongings Beyan, Çiğdem; Temizel, Alptekin (2015-04-01) In this study, a fully automatic surveillance system for indoor environments which is capable of tracking multiple objects using both visible and thermal band images is proposed. These two modalities are fused to track people and the objects they carry separately using their heat signatures and the owners of the belongings are determined. Fusion of complementary information from different modalities (for example, thermal images are not affected by shadows and there is no thermal reflection or halo effect in...
