Title
Improving Backscatter Intensity Calibration for Multispectral LiDAR
Abstract
A wavelength-dependent light detection and ranging (LiDAR) backscatter intensity calibration method was developed to maximize the advantages of a multispectral LiDAR system. We established a spectral ratio calibration method for multispectral LiDAR and investigated the effective calibration procedure for the mixed measurement of the effect of incident angle and surface roughness. Experiment results showed that the proposed LiDAR spectral ratio is insensitive to sensor-related factors and advantageous in calibrating the effect of incidence angle and surface roughness. As the product of the LiDAR calibration procedure based on spectral ratio, extended vegetation indexes significantly improve the classification accuracy.
