New method uses laser scans for radiometric fingerprinting of object surfaces

Researchers have developed a method for radiometric fingerprinting of object surfaces using mobile laser scanning and semantic 3D road space models. This approach leverages data from repeated mobile laser scans to capture material information, which is currently underutilized in semantic 3D city models. The study demonstrates how millions of individual LiDAR beams can be associated with objects in a semantic 3D city model, revealing patterns that indicate dominant materials. The developed method, semantic model, and geodatabase are being released. AI

    Radiometric fingerprinting of object surfaces using mobile laser scanning and semantic 3D road space models

    arXiv:2603.11252v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Although semantic 3D city models are internationally available and becoming increasingly detailed, the incorporation of material information remains largely untapped. However, a structured representation of materials and their p…
