Identification of buildings from remotely sensed imagery in urban and suburban areas is a challenging task. Light detection and Ranging (LiDAR) provides an opportunity to accurately identify buildings by identification of planar surfaces. Dense vegetation can limit the number of light particles that reach the ground, potentially creating false planar surfaces within a vegetation stand. We present an application of discriminant analysis (a commonly used statistical tool in decision theory) to classify polygons (derived from LiDAR) as either buildings or a non-building planar surfaces. We conducted our analysis in southern Texas where thornscrub vegetation often prevents a LiDAR beam from fully penetrating the vegetation canopy in and around residential areas. Using discriminant analysis, we grouped potential building polygons into building and non-building classes using the point densities of ground, unclassified, and building points. Our technique was 95% accurate at distinguishing buildings from non-buildings. Therefore, we recommend its use in any locale where distinguishing buildings from surrounding vegetation may be affected by the proximity of dense vegetation to buildings. |
