APPLICATION OF AIRBORNE LIDAR TO COASTIAL TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY

The near infrared airborne LiDAR can quickly and accurately obtain earth's surface information in beaches, isolated islands and other abominable environments; and the double wave band airborne LiDAR can measure the topographic features in a coastal zone less than 5 meters in water depth. Working principles, data processing procedures and the application of airborne LiDAR to topographic survey in coastal zones are discussed in this paper.
