Abstract

We present the design of a full waveform hyperspectral light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and the first demonstrations of its applications in remote sensing. The novel instrument produces a 3D point cloud with spectral backscattered reflectance data. This concept has a significant impact on remote sensing and other fields where target 3D detection and identification is crucial, such as civil engineering, cultural heritage, material processing, or geomorphological studies. As both the geometry and spectral information on the target are available from a single measurement, this technology will extend the scope of imaging spectroscopy into spectral 3D sensing. To demonstrate the potential of the instrument in the remote sensing of vegetation, 3D point clouds with backscattered reflectance and spectral indices are presented for a specimen of Norway spruce.

The optical setup: A laser pulse from a photonic crystal fiber (A) is collimated and sent to a 2D scanner (B). An off-axis parabolic mirror (C) is used as a primary light collecting optic. A spectrograph (D) disperses the colors of the trigger (E) and echo pulses to an APD array, which converts the light to analog voltage waveforms.

Hyperspectral LiDAR waveforms at various stages of processing. The top left plot depicts the raw waveforms of each hyperspectral channel as recorded by the analog to digital converters. Thick black line is the mean waveform of all channels. Trigger and target parts of the waveforms are normalized in different scale. The negative overshoot is visible, e.g., after the trigger pulse. The bottom left plot depicts the same waveforms with overshoot effects removed. The 3D plot on right shows the backscattered reflectance waveforms of the targets, produced using Gaussian function fitting and instrument calibration.

Flowchart of an algorithm removing overshoot effects from waveforms. The overshooting waveshapes are replaced with ideal ones, until the source waveform is diminished below a threshold level. To avoid errors caused by excess fitting, the residual of the source wave is added to the output waveform containing only ideal shapes.

A photograph of the Norway spruce and 3D point clouds demonstrating various data products that were extracted from the backscattered reflectance spectra. To reduce noise the spectra have been averaged in 5-cm voxels. The spectral indices have been calculated for each voxel, and the results are displayed on the full 3D point cloud as colors.
