Lidar-based DSM: original 2013 survey and after partial 2018 UAS data update:
Lidar-based DSM: original 2013 survey and after partial 2018 UAS data update:
The update added two new buildings and captured removal of trees in construction areas
The lidar DSM resolution is 1m (as compared with 15cm UAS DSM) and there was no fusion performed in this test.
Zoomed-in area of change
Zoomed-in area of change
UAS DSM (15cm resolution, with draped orthophoto) that was used to update the lidar-based DSM, note that DSM does not include representation of facades as opposed to full 3D model shown above.
Comparison of UAS DSM with the official building footprints (white line)
Preliminary comparison with the 2015 lidar data: blue is elevation gained (e.g. new buildings), red is elevation lost (e.g. removed trees)
