Abstract

Digital terrain model is applicable for many possibilities related to aerial works by use of photogrammetry or laser scanning of the earth’s surface. For the purpose of this research we consider just laser scanning used for work in difficult mountain terrain. The terrain of the Slovak Republic has many high hills and it signifies more complex flight planning, as laser scanning is usually flown in lower heights than photogrammetry. Moreover, as lower height is above terrain than the overlap between subsequent LIDAR strips is also lower. This situation can also lead towards the negative value in extreme instances. This paper also describes the most effective way for flight planning during laser scanning of mountain terrain by comparison of two different technologies from operational and economical point of view.
