DESCRIPTION

       v.lidar.correction is the last of three steps to filter LiDAR data. The  filter  aims  to  recognize  and
       extract attached and detached object (such as buildings, bridges, power lines,  trees, etc.)  in order to
       create a Digital Terrain Model.
       The module, which could be iterated several times, makes a comparison between the LiDAR observations  and
       a  bilinear spline interpolation with a Tychonov regularization parameter performed on the TERRAIN SINGLE
       PULSE points only. The gradient is minimized by the regularization parameter.  Analysis of the  residuals
       between  the  observations  and the interpolated values results in four cases (the next classification is
       referred to that of the v.lidar.growing output vector):
       a) Points classified as TERRAIN differing more than a threshold value are interpreted and reclassified as
       OBJECT, for both single and double pulse points.
       b)  Points  classified  as  OBJECT  and  closed  enough  to  the interpolated surface are interpreted and
       reclassified as TERRAIN, for both single and double pulse points.

NOTES

       The input should be the output of v.lidar.growing module or the output of this v.lidar.correction itself.
       That  means,  this  module  could  be  applied more times (although, two are usually enough) for a better
       filter solution. The outputs are a vector map with a final point  classification  as  as  TERRAIN  SINGLE
       PULSE,  TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE, OBJECT SINGLE PULSE or OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE; and an vector map with only the
       points classified as TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE or TERRAIN  DOUBLE  PULSE.   The  final  result  of  the  whole
       procedure  (v.lidar.edgedetection, v.lidar.growing, v.lidar.correction) will be a point classification in
       four categories:
       TERRAIN SINGLE PULSE (cat = 1, layer = 2)
       TERRAIN DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 2, layer = 2)
       OBJECT SINGLE PULSE (cat = 3, layer = 2)
       OBJECT DOUBLE PULSE (cat = 4, layer = 2)

EXAMPLES

   Basic correction procedure
       v.lidar.correction input=growing output=correction out_terrain=only_terrain

   Second correction procedure
       v.lidar.correction input=correction output=correction_bis terrain=only_terrain_bis
