AddLiDAR: An Online Airborne Laser Scanning Processing Portal and Data Repository

Jan Skaloud
2025

Abstract

We present AddLiDAR, an online processing portal and open-data repository designed to expose ALS (Airborne Laser Scanning) datasets from raw sensor output at all processing levels to the broader research community. The system provides an integrated infrastructure, providing a backend processing engine, web map data-set navigation portal, and an interactive 3D viewer, data filtering interface and configurable data download facilities. The portal is designed to maximise compliance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), supporting transparent education and research in downstream applications from sensor calibration to environmental monitoring and information extraction tasks.

Web portal

A web portal is a specially designed website that brings information from diverse sources, like emails, online fora and search engines, together in a uniform way. Usually, each information source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the user can configure which ones to display. Variants of portals include mashups and intranet "dashboards" for executives and managers. The extent to which content is displayed in a "uniform way" may depend on the intended user and the intended purpose, as well as the diversity of the content.

3D scanning

3D scanner is the process of analyzing a real-world object or environment to collect three dimensional data of its shape and possibly its appearance (e.g. color). The collected data can then be used to construct digital 3D models. A 3D scanner can be based on many different technologies, each with its own limitations, advantages and costs. Many limitations in the kind of objects that can be digitised are still present. For example, optical technology may encounter many difficulties with dark, shiny, reflective or transparent objects.

Sensor fusion

Sensor fusion is the process of combining sensor data or data derived from disparate sources such that the resulting information has less uncertainty than would be possible when these sources were used individually. For instance, one could potentially obtain a more accurate location estimate of an indoor object by combining multiple data sources such as video cameras and WiFi localization signals.
