The invention belongs to the technical field of marine surveying and mapping, and discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle
laser / shipborne multi-beam data land and water topographic mapping method, which comprises the following steps of: coarsely extracting a data overlapping region through a virtual grid, finely extracting the overlapping region by using an alpha-shape
algorithm, and obtaining boundary points; removing edge triangles in an irregular
triangulation network constructed by the unmanned aerial vehicle
laser sounding data and the shipborne multi-beam sounding data; calculating a
vertex normal vector, taking a vertex tangent plane of the multi-beam triangular irregular network as a registration element, carrying out
weight distribution according to the distance from a point to the vertex, and carrying out coarse registration through a point-to-plane ICP registration
algorithm; and constructing a precise registration model based on a point-
surface distance, and eliminating the elevation difference of the overlapping region by minimizing the normal distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle
laser sounding point to the multi-beam sounding triangular
surface element. By adopting the
point cloud fusion model for
processing, the phenomenon that different source
point cloud elevations in the overlapping area are inconsistent is effectively improved, and
underwater topographic data fusion is realized.
