Integration of INFOMAR Bathymetric Lidar with External Onshore Lidar Datasets

Abstract

<br>This study was carried out by the National Centre for Geocomputation at NUI Maynooth. The NCG is a resource for those interested in any aspect of the capture, storage, integration, management, retrieval, display, analysis or modelling of spatial data. Research at the NCG is diverse, but much of its work focuses on Algorithm development, Geosensor integration, Geovisualisation and Location Based Services. Research under the Geosensors banner includes LiDAR research, which includes LiDAR acquisition, processing and error quantification.</br> <br>The primary aim of this study is to test onshore-to-offshore and offshore-to-onshore integration potential between INFOMAR bathymetric LiDAR data and onshore aerial LiDAR supplied by the Office of Public Works and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Three potential barriers to integration are examined and quantified (namely absolute LiDAR error, datum transformation error, and water-column segregation issues). Investigations focus on the potential for LiDAR integration in: • Sligo bay • Oranmore bay (within Galway bay) • Blennerville bay (within Tralee bay).</br>
