5 «In Move» Data Quality Assessment Goal: In flight data quality and coverage monitoring RT Trajectory Quality RT Swath Boundaries RT ALS Gap detection Challenges Combination of different data streams in RT RT Attitude computation (RTGPS/INS Kalman Filtering) RT Georeferencing of ALS Point cloud IMU GPS 1-2 HZ Hz LiDAR KHz

6 Kinematic Laser Scanning Challenges GPS IMU LiDAR Bad GPS Constellation Cycle slips Long baseline Unfavorable dynamics Vibrations No returns (reflectivity) missing strip overlap CP-DGPS xyz/rpy pointcloud Achilles heel: Lack of reliable data quality assessment within or shortly after the survey Possible pitfalls Trajectory /attitude computation fails or inaccurate Poor precision of the point cloud The point cloud not homogenous or incomplete detected only in post processing! Increased cost of mapping product Time delay between flight and data delivery increases QC by independent ground survey Point density, accuracy are not met reflight
