Fusion of human and remote sensor data in urban environments

Posted in 3D, Lidar Group, OSM, Publications, Research on Mar 3rd, 2014

OpenStreetMap (OSM) currently represents the most popular project of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI): geodata are collected by common people and made available for public use. Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) enables the acquisition of high-resolution digital elevation models that are used for many applications.
Our new study combines the advantages of both ALS and OSM, offering a [...]
