Building Recognition Using LiDAR and Energy Minimization Approach

The most important component of the economics of any country is the segment of a real estate. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is the modern remote sensing method how to scan the geospatial surface, it is a good platform for the monitoring of the real estate; but LiDAR data are 3D point cloud, which must be classified and transformed into vector data like shape files before using them in the geographical information systems (GIS) to solve urban planning and monitoring problems. The document describes the energy minimization approach how to detect and recognize buildings in LiDAR point cloud.
