By height from ground

Not Lite

By height from ground routine classifies points which are within a given height range compared to a reference surface. The surface can be temporarily created from points in one or several classes or a surface active in TerraModeler can be used. Most often, the previously classified ground class is used as the surface for classifying points above the ground level.

You might use this routine for to classify points into different vegetation classes for preparing, for example, building classification, powerline processing, or tree detection. As a result, the highest vegetation class should include all hits on the target objects of interest (building roofs, wires and towers, or trees).
