A Methodology for Processing Raw LIDAR Data to Support Urban Flood Modelling Framework

On Wednesday 21 March at 12.30 hrs, the Public Defence and Awarding Ceremony of Ahmad Fikri Bin Abdullah will take place. Professor Roland Price will be his promoter.

The title of his thesis is: A Methodology for Processing Raw LIDAR Data to Support Urban Flood Modelling Framework

Mr. Bin Abdullah will give a presentation of his thesis at 12.30 in the Auditorium of the Delft University of Technology (Mekelweg 5). The Public Defence and Awarding Ceremony will start at 13.00 sharp.

ABSTRACT

The research presents the augmentation of an existing Progressive Morphological filtering algorithm for processing raw LiDAR data to support a 1D/2D urban flood modelling framework. The key characteristics of this improved algorithm are: (1) the ability to deal with different kinds of buildings; (2) the ability to detect elevated road/rail lines and represent them in accordance to the reality; (3) the ability to deal with bridges and riverbanks; and (4) the ability to recover curbs and the use of appropriated roughness coefficient of Manning’s value to represent close-to-earth vegetation (e.g. grass and small bush).
