ISPRS WG I/4

LiDAR, Laser Altimetry and Sensor Integration

Mission/Scope

ISPRS Working Group I/4 aims is to promote the developments and investigations on the state-of-the-art terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne sensing and mapping systems, mainly using LiDAR, laser altimeters and LiDAR-based multi-sensor integration systems. The focus will be placed on data quality and performance validation of LiDAR and laser altimetry systems for digital surface modelling and 3D scene reconstruction.

To this purpose, the WG I/4 will organize technical events, provide open access datasets, and organize international comparative tests for evaluating the performance of algorithms and designs for various terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne LiDAR and laser altimeter data processing towards emerging applications. In addition, the WG I/4 will continue to work closely with other Working Groups within TCs I, II, and III, as well as sister organizations such as ICA, FIG, and IEEE-TGRS.
