About prospects for the air laser scanning technology implementation for obtaining a digital model of densely built-in territories

Abstract

Abstract The work raises the question of the urban development using a digital model based on the results of airborne laser scanning for the municipality administration needs. The processes of air laser scanning and subsequent cameral processing of the results are described. Specialized software for analyzing the information received and authors’ methods for classifying the objects are considered. The available achievements analysis in the field of city models compilation and the analysis of natural and man-made objects obtained from aerial surveys of urban areas is carried out. The conclusions are drawn about the prospects for the application and development of this technology for the purpose of accounting and monitoring the urban areas in terms of its impact on the urban economy, the quality of the population life and forecasting emergencies.
