DESCRIPTION
v.lidar.growing is the second of three steps to filter LiDAR data. The filter aims to recognize and extract attached and detached object (such as buildings, bridges, power lines, trees, etc.) in order to create a Digital Terrain Model.
The modules identifies which is the internal area of every object on a LiDAR point surface. The classification categories from v.lidar.edgedetection are now rasterized. For each cell, it is evaluated if it (the cell) contains a point with double impulse (difference between the first and last pulse greater than a given threshold). Starting from cells classified as OBJECT and with only one pulse all linked cells are selected and a convex hull algorithm is applied to them. Simultaneously, the mean of the corresponding heights (mean edge height) are computed. Points inside the convex hull are classified as OBJECT if their height is greater than or equal to the previously mean computed edge height. This last step is done only in case of high planimetric resolution.
NOTES
The input data should be the output result of the v.lidar.edgedetection, module. Otherwise, it goes to error! The output of this module will be the input of v.lidar.correction module. The output will be a vector map which points are pre-classified as:
TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE (cat = 1, layer = 2)
TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 2, layer = 2)
OBJECT SINGLE PULSE (cat = 3, layer = 2)
OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 4, layer = 2)
The final result of the whole procedure (v.lidar.edgedetection, v.lidar.growing, v.lidar.correction) will be a point classification in the same categories as above.
