Bare Earth DEM Calculations • Identify man made structures • Determine ground elevation at edges • 2. Identify vegetated areas • Search for ground points within area • 3. Identify open areas • 4. Interpolate between available points • 5. Filtering and clean-up First Return DEM
Automatically extracted Bare Earth DEM • Ground surface with vegetation and man-made structures removed • Critical for terrain and hydrology modeling Bare Earth DEM
Raw vs. Edited LiDAR Contours Contours from raw LiDAR data Contours from raw LiDAR data with photogrammetric edits
Types of LiDAR DTM & Contours • Level I • Classified to Bare earth only, automated • Level II • Classified to bare earth • Automated, minimal cartographic edits • Level III • Classified to bare earth • Break-lines added to hydrology • Similar cartographic edits of Level II
Types of LiDAR DTM & Contours • Level IV • Level III plus: • Stereo Compiled Breaklines • Planimetric Features (optional)
Level 1-2 Surface Level 3 Surface
