The SHOALS system uses lidar technology to remotely measure bathymetry and topography
in the coastal zone. During five years of survey operations, SHOALS has demonstrated …

The shape and amplitude of the bathymetric lidar waveforms (the recorded time history of
the reflected lidar pulses) contain information about the attenuation of the water and the …

Airborne laser bathymetry (ALB) is employed to measure shallow depth water by using a
high sampling rate and point density. Thus, the problems of using traditional detection …

Airborne laser (or lidar) bathymetry (ALB) is a technique for measuring the depths of
moderately clear, near-shore coastal waters and lakes from a low-altitude aircraft using a …

With the development of photon-counting sensors, spaceborne photon-counting lidars have
shown many advantages in mapping underwater topography. Although a space based lidar …

Lidar equations for a system with multiple-scattering beam spreading and pulse stretching
are developed from an analytical model for the beam spread function. The resulting lidar …

Water depth can be measured using airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB). However, when the
green laser beam passes through the air-water interface, the sea surface slope greatly …

The ultimate accuracy of depths from an airborne laser hydrography system depends both
on careful hardware design aimed at producing the best possible accuracy and precision of …

This contribution identifies the uncertainty sources influencing the component uncertainties
for an airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB) measurement and presents the models for various …
