THALWEG DETECTION FOR RIVER NETWORK CARTOGRAPHY IN FOREST FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION LIDAR DATA

This paper addresses the problem of extracting the drainage network in forested areas. A precise description of the drainage network including intermittent streams is required for the planning of logging operations and environmental conservation. LiDAR provides now high-resolution point clouds from...
