Abstract

In this work we address the task of contextual classification of an airborne LiDAR point cloud. For that purpose, we integrate a Random Forest classifier into a Conditional Random Field (CRF) framework. A CRF has been shown to deliver good results discerning multiple classes. It is a flexible approach for obtaining a reliable classification even in complex urban scenes. The incorporation of multi-scale features improves the results further. Based on the classification results, 2D building and tree objects are generated and evaluated by the benchmark of ISPRS WG III/4.
