The invention discloses a method for generating road design surface information by
laser radar scan, which comprises the following steps: a, an
airplane or automobile is used for collecting data for a platform-carried
laser scanner; b, original
laser point cloud is classified to a ground point type and a non-ground point type; c, the
point cloud data of the classified ground point types can be used for generating
road surface information required by design; d, for regions with the
point cloud density of the ground point type less than 4 / m<2>, an alternative point is automatically extracted from the non-ground point type point cloud; e, a sectional profile is taken as a projection surface, the extracted section point, ground point, non-ground point and alternative point are stacked for displaying, artificial auxiliary edit is carried out, in the section
ground line, the alternative point is added, or an abrupt abnormal point is removed; and f, accurate section
ground line surface information after editing is output according to a format required by the road design. The method of the invention has the advantages of
rapidity, high efficiency and high stability; and is suitable for collecting information of construction, reconstruction and extension of various complex road surfaces.
