RESUMO

The airborne LASER scanner is competitive technology for surveys that generates digital surface models (DSM) and Digital Terrain Models (DTM). This technology suffered some resistance by the aerosurvey enterprise (and some users), but is conquering its market share due the amount of papers recently published in this field. A limitation associated with this technique is the correct detection of the offterrain objects, like trees and buildings. These objects, when well identified, are essential to a sort of applications like cadastre e map quality evaluation. This dissertation proposes a methodology to identify buildings by the edge detection of a triangular irregular net (TIN) built over the point cloud. The utilization of TIN preserves the original values, representing the real 3D universe with fidelity despite the raster models. The detection is done calculating the slopes for all triangles of the TIN. After that, the triangles with slope values above a threshold are segmented. The Threshold definition depends on resolution of the point cloud, scan pattern and target behavior. Triangles with high slope values represent hard variation and may mean buildings. This work shows preliminary tools to automate the vectorization of the detected edges. The extracted buildings may be used for map quality evaluation of the DSM/DTM, by comparing it with a reference map. This means: test for detection e elimination of bundles, test for detection and minimization of systematic errors, precision tests and evaluate the meeting the Brazilian cartographic accuracy standard (PEC). Theses analysis concludes that the proposed methodology of edge detection is efficient but the developed tools of automation may be sharpened. Also, concludes that the DSM built with LASER scanner survey is compatible with reference map. Its recommended the application of the methodology on other collections of data.
