摘要
Airborne LiDAR has become the preferred technology for digital elevation data acquisition in a wide range of applications. The vertical accuracy with respect to a specified vertical datum is the principal criterion in specifying the quality of LiDAR elevation data. The quantitative assessment of LiDAR elevation data is usually conducted by comparing high-accuracy checkpoints with elevations estimated from the LiDAR ground data. However, the collection of a sufficient number of checkpoints by field surveying is a time-consuming task. This study used survey marks to assess the vertical accuracy of LiDAR data for different land covers in a mural area and explored the performance of different methods for deriving elevations from LiDAR data corresponding to the locations of checkpoints. Normality tests using both frequency histograms and quantile-quantile plots were performed for vertical differences between the LiDAR data and the checkpoints, so the appropriate methods were used for the vertical accuracy assessment of LiDAR data for different land cover categories. The results demonstrated the suitability of using survey marks as checkpoints for the assessment of the vertical accuracy of LiDAR data.
