The Local Median Filtering Method for Correcting the Laser Return Intensity Information from Discrete Airborne Laser Scanning Data
2020
Remote Sensing
Laser return intensity (LRI) information obtained from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data has been used to classify land cover types and to reveal canopy physiological features. ...
However, the sensor-related and environmental parameters may introduce noise. In this study, we developed a local median filtering (LMF) method to point-by-point correct the LRI information. ...

Discrete Return Lidar in Natural Resources: Recommendations for Project Planning, Data Processing, and Deliverables
2009
Remote Sensing
Intensity: The peak power ratio of the laser return to the emitted laser. This is a function of surface reflectivity. Last Return: The last measurement in a laser pulse. ...
Geometric Correction: The process correcting the GPS readings, tying the data to local controls, and applying a coordinate system to the lidar point cloud. ...
The criterion for collecting multiple returns is based on the intensity of the laser energy returned to the sensor, with three to five return systems being most common. ...
