New ALS boresight calibration method removes scene requirements

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for boresight calibration of airborne laser scanning (ALS) systems that removes the need for specific scene content. This scene-agnostic approach utilizes point-to-point correspondences extracted from overlapping ALS strips, offering a more flexible and widely applicable solution compared to traditional plane-based methods. The proposed formulations, evaluated across various flight conditions and inertial systems, demonstrate the ability to recover or absorb boresight effects under standard mapping geometries, suggesting that calibration can be performed during routine mapping operations without special scene prerequisites.

    Scene-agnostic ALS boresight self-calibration

    ALS boresight calibration has relied for two decades on dedicated flight patterns over structured scenes containing planar surfaces of varied aspect and slope. While reliable, this approach imposes constraints on the scene content and operations, which limits its applicability to…
