This unique work presents a detailed review of the processing and analysis of 3D point clouds. Topics and features: reviews techniques for the acquisition of 3D point cloud data and for point quality assessment;
"The book ... is complete summary for understanding the reconstruction of 3D scenes through the use of point clouds. ... The 'book describes the theoretical background, and compares the performance of the proposed approaches to that of current state-of-the- art techniques.' This book is highly useful to those unfamiliar with laser scanner data gathering including Lidar and would serve as a good first choice to educators teaching about these technologies and processing applications."
