Statistical Model for Lidar Signal Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we build a statistical model for the LIDAR signal validation (estimation, selection, statistical validation of the Mie backscattered optical field from pollutants at medium and long range distances). The LIDAR backscattered optical signal is realized via the operative characteristic. Defining Q0 as the false alarm probability and Qd the detection probability, the operative characteristic is a curve in the plane defined by the indecision zone of the LIDAR signal validation. The aim of this paper is to propose some optimization methods of the operative characteristic associated with the LIDAR signal validation.

Simulated LIDAR waveforms for understanding factors affecting waveform shape
Full-waveform LIDAR is a technology which enables the analysis of the 3-D structure and arrangement of objects. An in-depth understanding of the factors that affect the shape of the full-waveform signal is required in order to extract as much information as possible from the signal. A simple model of LIDAR propagation has been created which simulates the interaction of LIDAR energy with objects...
متن کاملConditional Random Fields for Airborne Lidar Point Cloud Classification in Urban Area
Over the past decades, urban growth has been known as a worldwide phenomenon that includes widening process and expanding pattern. While the cities are changing rapidly, their quantitative analysis as well as decision making in urban planning can benefit from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) digital models. The recent developments in imaging and non-imaging sensor technologies, s...
متن کاملStatistical model for fading return signals in coherent lidars.
A statistical model for the return signal in a coherent lidar is derived from the fundamental principles of atmospheric scattering and turbulent propagation. The model results in a three-parameter probability distribution for the coherent signal-to-noise ratio in the presence of atmospheric turbulence and affected by target speckle. We consider the effects of amplitude and phase fluctuations, i...

The signal processing aspect of a 2-μm wavelength coherent Doppler lidar system under development at NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia is investigated in this paper. The lidar system is named VALIDAR (validation lidar) and its signal processing program estimates and displays various wind parameters in real-time as data acquisition occurs. The goal is to improve the quality of the current...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Mean Stand Biomass Estimators in a Lidar- Based Double Sampling Forest Survey Design
Airborne laser scanning (lidar) can be a valuable tool in double-sampling forest survey designs. Lidar-derived forest structure metrics are often highly correlated with important forest inventory variables, such as mean stand biomass, and lidar-based synthetic regression estimators have the potential to be highly efficient compared to single-stage estimators, which could lead to increased preci...
