Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

LiDAR systems are widely used in surveying, mapping, transportation, industry, agriculture, archaeology, ocean exploration, atmospheric remote sensing and other fields. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scholars to share the latest achievements in this field. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers on LiDAR-related theory, design, experiments, applications, signal processing, system modeling, system composition, technology, light sources, optical systems, optical signal detection, and numerical simulations. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: wind LiDAR; CO2 LiDAR; underwater LiDAR; LiDAR mapping, dial LiDAR, methane detection LiDAR, forestry LiDAR; 3D LiDAR; and autonomous driving LiDAR. Reviews of LiDAR-related developments of systems and technologies are also welcome.

Road high-precision mobile LiDAR measurement point clouds are the digital infrastructures for high-precision maps, autonomous driving, digital twins, etc. High-precision automated semantic segmentation of road point clouds is a crucial research direction. Aiming at the problem of low semantic segmentation accuracy of existing deep learning networks for inhomogeneous sparse point clouds of mobile LiDAR system measurements (MLS), a deep learning method that adaptively adjusts the sampling radius of region groups according to the point clouds density is proposed. We construct a deep learning road point clouds dataset based on a self-developed mobile LiDAR system to train and test road point clouds semantic segmentation. The overall accuracy of the method for road point clouds segmentation is 98.08%, with an overall mIOU of 0.73 and mIOUs of 0.99, 0.983, 0.99, 0.66, and 0.51 for roads, guardrails, signs, streetlights, and lane lines, respectively. The experimental result shows that the method can achieve more accurate segmentation for inhomogeneous sparse road point clouds of mobile LiDAR systems. Compared with the existing methods, the segmentation accuracy is significantly improved. Full article
