  Application of LIDAR Technology in Oil and Gas Pipeline Route Selection and Optimization
  Author(s): Muhammad MBME, Ehigiator IR and Oladosu SO*
  
  The far reaching advantage of Airborne LiDAR technology in the acquisition of highly dense 3D spatial data for hydraulic modelling and geomorphic studies as well as route analysis, selection and/or optimization etc. cannot be overemphasised. Our aim in this work is to show the significant of extracting coordinates of linear feature from Airborne LiDAR cloud data obtained at low altitude and how these can be used to procure gas pipeline corridor mapping for effective design and implementation. Although the data so obtained can be used invariably to derive various environmental components and derivatives like: DTM, DSM, DEM, TIN, LULC map, contour map, profile map, etc. in accordance with what is demanded or the requirement of the end users. The terrain of study spanning about 27km is (swampy and waterlogged) rendering ground survey methods ineffective. Hence, aerial survey expedition w.. View more»
