A 4D Filtering and Calibration Technique for Small-Scale Point Cloud Change Detection with a Terrestrial Laser Scanner
Download2015-01-01
Kromer, Ryan A., Abellán, Antonio, Hutchinson, D. Jean, Lato, Matt, Edwards, Tom, Jaboyedoff, Michel
This study presents a point cloud de-noising and calibration approach that takes advantage of point redundancy in both space and time (4D). The purpose is to detect displacements using terrestrial laser scanner data at the sub-mm scale or smaller, similar to radar systems, for the study of very...

A Data Driven Approach to Creating a Traffic Sign Asset Inventory using Remote Sensing Technology
DownloadSpring 2019
Traffic signs play a critical role in the safety and efficiency of any roadway, but with limited information on the current status of traffic sign inventories, the placement and condition of traffic signs goes largely unchecked. Therefore, the collection of a complete traffic sign inventory (TSI)...

A Visibility and Safety Assessment of Urban Intersection Sight Distance using mobile LiDAR Data
DownloadFall 2021
This thesis focuses on intersection sight distance design, which is an extremely critical element in urban road design. Research has shown that providing adequate sight distance contributes to safe operation at intersections. Conversely, a restricted sight distance impacts drivers’ fields of...

Spring 2014
The Mackenzie Delta is the second largest northern delta in the world. The water from the Delta entering the Beaufort Sea has a significant impact on its dynamics. Areas in the Delta were surveyed using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The goals of this study were to characterize the...

Changes in peatland plant community composition and stand structure due to road induced flooding and desiccation
DownloadFall 2017
Roads built through peatlands with horizontal water flow can to act as dams that affect local hydrology and thus vegetation composition and structure. On the ‘upstream’ side of roads, soils can become waterlogged causing either increased tree mortality, or stunted tree growth; conversely, the...

Development of GIS-based Methods for Modeling Fire Hazard - A Large Scale Empirical Investigation
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildland fires are natural occurrences in the woodland landscape that play a vital ecological role in Canada's boreal forest region. However, they also endanger human life and can disrupt timber resources and other economic assets. Recently, wildfires have ravaged areas of British Columbia,...

Secondary succession is defined as natural regeneration following complete forest clearance from anthropogenic or natural disturbances. Traditional strategies aimed to map and characterize secondary succession using remote sensing are usually based on deterministic approaches, where transitions...

Evaluating remote sensing covariates for understanding habitat selection by boreal forest birds
DownloadFall 2023
Boreal forests are changing in response to climate change and shifts in disturbance regimes. Statistical models that link distribution, abundance, and community structure to select environmental variables have been used to understand how birds respond to these changes. However, model performance...

Irwin, Katherine, Beaulne, Danielle, Braun, Alexander, Fotopoulos, Georgia
The detection and monitoring of surface water and its extent are critical for understanding floodwater hazards. Flooding and undermining caused by surface water flow can result in damage to critical infrastructure and changes in ecosystems. Along major transportation corridors, such as railways,...
