Ground Plane Identification Using LIDAR in Forested

To operate autonomously in forested environments, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) must be able to identify the load-bearing surface of the terrain (i.e. the ground). This paper presents a novel two-stage approach for identifying ground points from 3-D point clouds sensed using LIDAR. The first stage...
