Tutorial: Use Find Curb Along Element to Detect Curbs
This short tutorial shows the suggested road curb detection method using TerraScan’s Find Curb Along Element tool. This tool creates two 3D line elements following the lower and upper edges of curb stones in a point cloud. It separates the lower and upper edge by a given minimum horizontal distance so the breaklines may be…
