Normalization by Ground Class

Brief

The normalization tool can remove the effects of topographic relief on the elevation value of point cloud data. This function requires that the input data has already been classified into ground points and non-ground points. During normalization, every point's Z value is reduced by the terrain elevation at that point, where the terrain elevation is taken from the nearest ground point to each point. The output of this function is similar to Normalization.

Usage

Click Data Management > Point Cloud Tools > Normalization by Ground Class

Settings

• Input Data: The input file can be a single point cloud data file or multiple data files. File Format: *.LiData.
• Output path: Path of the output file. After the algorithm being executed, the normalized new file will be generated. When entering more than one file, the path needs to be set as a folder.
