Abstract

Multi-temporal digital terrain models (DTMs) derived from airborne or uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) platforms are frequently used tools in geomorphic impact studies. Accurate estimation of mobilized sediments from multi-temporal DTMs is indispensable for hazard assessment. To study volumetric changes in alpine environments it is crucial to identify and discuss different kind of error sources in multi-temporal data. We subdivided errors into those caused by data acquisition, data processing, and spatial properties of the terrain. In terms of the quantification of surface changes, the propagation of errors can lead to high uncertainties.

Three alpine catchments with different LiDAR point clouds of different origins (airborne laser scanning [ALS], UAV-borne laser scanning [ULS]), varying point densities, accuracies and qualities were analysed, and used as basis for interpolating DTMs. The workflow was developed in the Schöttlbach area in Styria and later applied to further catchments in Austria. The main aim of the presented work is a comprehensive DTM uncertainty analysis specially designed for geomorphic impact studies, with a resulting uncertainty analysis serving as input for a change detection tool. Our findings reveal that geomorphic impact studies need the careful distinction between actual surface changes and different data uncertainties. ULS combines the benefits of terrestrial laser scanning with all the benefits of ALS. However, the use of ULS data does not necessarily improve the results of the analysis since the high level of detail is not always helpful in geomorphic impact studies. In order to make the different point clouds and DTMs comparable the quality of the ULS point cloud had to be reduced to fit the accuracy of the reference data (older ALS point clouds). Using a point cloud with a high point density with a regular planimetric point spacing and less data gaps, in the best case collected during leaf-off conditions (e.g., cross-flight strategy) turned out to be sufficient for our geomorphic research purposes.
