Optimizing Urban LiDAR Flight Path Planning Using a Genetic Algorithm and a Dual Parallel Computing Framework

This paper introduces a genetic algorithm (GA) and a beam tracing algorithm incorporated within a dual parallel computing framework to optimize urban aerial laser scanning (ALS) missions to maximize vertical façade data capture, as needed for many three-dimensional reconstruction and modeling workfl...
