GRASS GIS for the distinction of vegetation from buildings using LiDAR altimetric data.

The LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, based on the scanning of the territory by airborne laser telemeters, allows the construction of Digital Surface Models (DSM) by a simple data interpolation, and Digital Terrain Models (DTM) by the identification and removal of attached and detached...
