Estudio del estado del arte de la tecnología LiDAR aplicada al mapeo de diferencias en altura de construcciones urbanas

Abstract

The research project, titled "Study of the State of the Art of LiDAR Technology Applied to Mapping Height Differences in Urban Constructions," focuses on the objective evaluation of the effectiveness of LiDAR technology in measuring height differences in urban buildings. The specific objectives include assessing the scope and capability of LiDAR to detect height variations, analyzing its application in generating height data in urban environments, identifying associated technologies and methods, studying its variability in different urban contexts, and determining future trends. The research is theoretically justified by exploring an area that is not fully studied and seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge in remote sensing and topography. This project will benefit the Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC) by providing a foundation for informed decision-making in urban mapping projects. Additionally, it will serve as a fundamental resource for professionals in topography, remote sensing, and cartography, contributing to their education and the development of new methodologies, thus fostering the construction of knowledge that will benefit both the academic and professional communities. In summary, the project focuses on evaluating LiDAR's capability to measure height differences in urban constructions, contributing to the existing knowledge in the field and providing significant benefits. The results of this study will help improve the understanding of LiDAR's utility and limitations in this specific context, supporting more effective decision-making in future projects.
