Abstract

The influence of low vegetation on laser scanning and its disturbing effect (a systematic positive height shift) during DTM generation is well recognized. Based on our experience in a previous study of estimating the effect of medium-height vegetation (shrubs and bushes) in rough terrain by using point-cloud based co-occurrence texture methods, we now investigate the effect of lower vegetation, such as grass, in very flat marshland conditions. When vegetation is very low, and thus the effect very small, it appears difficult to separate the systematic shift from random measurement noise. When the shift becomes larger, however, it shows significant correlation with texture measures such as slope texture and standard deviation. These measures are derived from the laser data itself and do not require any additional information.
