Classification of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point cloud is still challenging due to the irregular point cloud distribution, relatively low point density, and the complex urban scenes being observed. The availability of multispectra...

Scour around bridge piers is considered as one of the major factors which causes failure of bridges in the United States. An undetected scour can affect the stability of the bridge, eventually leading to the collapse of the bridge. The experimental i...

Reviewing hydrographic data for nautical charting is still a predominately manual process, performed by experienced analysts and based on directives developed over the years by the hydrographic office of interest. With the primary intent to increase...

In this paper, a supervised land cover classification is presented based on the extracted information from polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. The analysis of the polarimetric scattering matrix is accomplished according to the Doub...

Coastal environments are globally recognized for their spectacular morphological characteristics as well as economic opportunities, such as fisheries and tourism industries. However, climate change, growth in tourism, and constant coastal urban spraw...

Mangroves grow in the tidal zone and have many benefits for the ecosystem and human life. Mangrove loss monitoring is important information to know the condition and status of mangrove forests. Along with the development of computer technology, machi...

This manuscript focuses on a quality assessment of DJI’s new sensors: the Zenmuse L1 and P1, which are LiDAR and photographic payload sensors, respectively, for UAVs/UASs. In particular, metric and statistical analyses aim to evaluate the data...

Traditional interpolation methods, such as IDW, kriging, radial basis functions, and regularized splines, are commonly used to generate digital elevation models (DEM). All of these methods have strong statistical and analytical foundations (such as t...
