Strip Alignment
Airborne LiDAR measurement system is influenced by various error sources, of which the systematic errors (the largest error source) cause the systematic deviation of laser footprint coordinates. Mounting of LiDAR measurement system requires the axis of the scanning reference coordinate system and inertial platform reference coordinate system to be parallel. However, while mounting of system, it is not guaranteed that they are parallel, resulting in the so-called systematic boresight error. In the Strip Alignment module, airborne LiDAR point clouds of overlapping strips can be aligned through boresight calibration.
