摘要

Airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) data are widely used for high-resolution land cover mapping. The lidar elevation data are typically used as complementary information to passive multispectral or hyperspectral imagery to enable higher land cover classification accuracy. In this paper, we examine the capabilities of a recently developed multispectral airborne laser scanner, manufactured by Teledyne Optech, for direct classification of multispectral point clouds into ten land cover classes including grass, trees, two classes of soil, four classes of pavement, and two classes of buildings. The scanner, Titan MW, collects point clouds at three different laser wavelengths simultaneously, opening the door to new poss
