The image shows a runway segment of 800 x 200 m. The top diagrams
are orthogonal views displaying surface reflectance at the laser wavelength (Near
Infrared) by brightness coding, and elevation represented by color coding and contour lines. The runway curvature of about 30 cm from center to edges is
visible, indicating the high vertical resolution possible with
laser altimetry.
The bottom image shows a perspective rendering using geometry and reflectance information. The vertical scale
is exagerated by a factor of 60 to make the curvature visible. |
