An automated algorithm for mapping building impervious areas from airborne LiDAR point-cloud data for flood hydrology

Buildings, as impervious surfaces, are an important component of total impervious surface areas that drive urban stormwater response to intense rainfall events. Most stormwater models that use percent impervious area (PIA) are spatially lumped models and do not require precise locations of building...
