Abstract:

In the past several decades, as a powerful tool for acquiring the information on the Earth surface and building vivid 3-dimensional models airborne Lidar has been generating incremental interest and broad attention. The authors use airborne Lidar to obtain digital elevation model of the study area, combine digital images captured by the digital sensor system, and realize coastal 3-dimensional landscape simulation. The result indicates that, in the field of "Digital Ocean" visualization, airborne Lidar can perfectly simulate 3-dimensional landscape of coast, and unfurl natural landscape such as mountain, sand beach, and vegetation in the littoral.

Key words: coast, Lidar, landscape simulation
