Research Abstract:
The potential for remote sensing techniques, in particular LiDAR, in the monitoring of engineered infrastructure asset networks such as flood defence embankments is an area attracting increased interest and research in recent years. However. there are significant limitations in acquiring suitable data sets of actual LiDAR data for these purposes.
The paper describes a potential solution to this problem in the use of computer simulation of LiDAR surveys for flood defence embankments. The simulation enables researchers or asset managers to investigate the results of LiDAR surveys at various resolutions with user specified failures (modelled as surface deformations) incorporated. An example simulation is included based on an actual embankment surveyed as part of the broader project.
Initial results have demonstrated the potential utility of this approach and further opportunities for this approach.
