Design on the aerial survey parameters of the airborne LiDAR

A new method of parameters design for aerial survey based on the laser footprint distribution of airborne LiDAR was proposed. In order to implement the method of parameters design, the relationship maps between the distribution of laser footprints and different parameters, respective the parameters of laser beam, flight and laser scanning system were created. Using the actual parameters and the independent variable of the number of scanning strips, the best aerial survey parameters and flight routes were designed. It is an important method to achieve the least scanning time cost as a dependent variable.
