Building Zone Regulation Compliance Using LIDAR Data: Real-Life Tests in İstanbul

Abstract

Airborne Laser scanning systems with light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology is one of the fast and accurate 3D point data acquisition techniques. Generating accurate digital terrain and/or surface models (DTM/DSM) is the main application of collecting LIDAR range data. The LIDAR technique facilitates the rapid production of models which contain ground and above surface objects in 3D (Jaafar et al., 1999). Today automatic / semi-automatic generation of 3D digital building models and other city furniture from LIDAR data is a very active area of scientific research (Elaksher and Bethel, 2002) indicates that manual surface reconstruction is very costly and time consuming, and the development of automated algorithms is of great importance. Currently with this LIDAR data in place, it is possible to derive models and information (e.g. the heights of the buildings).This paper focuses on and explains our efforts on automatically checking Buildings’ Zoning Regulation Compliance by integrating geometric information derived from 3D LIDAR data and semantic information acquired from 2D Implementation Development Maps
