  • Abstract
    High-resolution light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems generate bare-earth and surface digital elevation models (DEMs) identifying a broad range of subtle ground features. Unfortunately, to create a DEM from airborne data collections involves a computationally intensive post-processing step typically performed on the ground.
