Filter Algorithms

Use MARS® to batch process a LiDAR data classification macro script using the following filter options:

• AGC - The AGC filter reclassifies LAS points based on the value of the AGC (auto gain control) attribute.
• Building - The Building filter seeks to identify relatively smooth surfaces (ex. building roofs) built from the points in the seeding classifications point set, which should only contain points strongly identified as canopy, and reclassifies them to a class specified by the user.
• Building Robust - The Building Robust filter identifies buildings by looking at voids in the ground data and analyzing the characteristics (planes, height, area, etc.) of the non-ground points in these areas.
• Consistent Return - The Consistent Return filter reclassifies LiDAR points based on their return value. A point is reclassified if its return value and the return values of all nearby source points match the given return value requirement.
• Elevation - The Elevation filter reclassifies LiDAR points based on their absolute elevation (Z) value.
• ENVI Reclass - The ENVI Reclass filter reclassifies LiDAR points based on an ENVI classification dataset.
• Extreme High - The Extreme High filter is intended to reclassify LiDAR points that have a uniquely different and high elevation.
• Extreme Low - The Extreme Low filter is intended to reclassify LiDAR points that have a uniquely different and low elevation.
• Ground Distance - The Ground Distance filter reclassifies LiDAR points when they are within a specified ground distance of a point in the reference classification set.
• Height from Surface - The Height From Surface filter reclassifies LiDAR points that are a specified elevation above or below a surface.
• Intensity - The Intensity filter reclassifies LiDAR points based on the value of the intensity attribute.
• Isolated Point - The Isolated Point filter reclasses points when there is no other point of a reference class within a user-defined spherical radius (X, Y, and Z axes)
• Min Grid - The Min Grid filter finds the lowest point of each grid cell that matches the source classification set. The filter reclassifies the minimum elevation point (one per grid cell) to the target classification.
• Max Grid - The Max Grid filter finds the highest point of each grid cell that matches the source classification set. The filter reclassifies the maximum elevation point (one per grid cell) to the target classification.
• Model Keypoint  - The Model Keypoint filter creates a thinned dataset from ground (surface) points by searching for the highest and lowest points within a specified elevation tolerance in a user-defined area.
• Percolate - The Percolate filter reclassifies LiDAR points in the source classification set that are relatively low without exceeding limits on the steepness of a surface made from the target classification.
• Plane Analysis - The Plane Analysis filter reclassifies groupings of LiDAR points that form flat, planar surfaces.
• Reclassify - The Reclassify filter reclassifies all LiDAR points from the source classification to the target classification.
• Return - The Return filter reclassifies LiDAR points based upon the specified return value requirement.
• RGB Component  - The RGB Component filter reclassifies LiDAR points based on the color values of a corresponding imagery file.
• Scan Angle - The Scan Angle filter is made specifically for use with the 'Convert SBET to 3D Shapefile' tool. The Scan Angle filter uses an SBET file which has been converted into a 3D shapefile to reclassify certain sets of points.
• Slope - The Slope filter reclassifies source LiDAR points to a specified target class based on them falling within a user-definable range of minimum and maximum angles for the slope they occupy.
• Smart Clip - The Smart Clip filter will reclass points at varying angles of the Field of View while ensuring full coverage.
• Smooth Grid - The Smooth Grid filter builds a grid surface from the points of the source classification. LiDAR points in the source classification set are compared to this grid surface and reclassified to the target classification, if they meet the elevation difference requirements as specified by the min_diff and max_diff parameters.
• Smooth Min Grid - The Smooth Min Grid filter builds a grid surface from the minimum elevation points of the source classification set. LiDAR points in the source classification set are compared to this grid surface and reclassified to the target classification if they meet the elevation difference requirements as specified by the min_diff and max_diff parameters.
• Smooth Max Grid - The Smooth Max Grid filter builds a grid surface from the maximum elevation points of the source classification set. LiDAR points in the source classification set are compared to this grid surface and reclassified to the target classification if they meet the elevation difference requirements as specified by the min_diff and max_diff parameters.
• Timestamp - The Timestamp filter reclassifies LiDAR points based upon the timestamp attribute value.
• XY Distance - The XY Distance filter reclassifies LiDAR points that are within a specific horizontal distance of a point in the reference classification set.

PetraSim

Description

PetraSim is the graphical interface for the TOUGH2 family of simulators. Developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, TOUGH2 and its derivatives are recognized for their powerful simulation capabilities for fluid flow and heat transfer in porous and fractured media.

The TOUGH2 codes have been applied to problems ranging from Yucca mountain groundwater flow to multi-component environmental remediation. PetraSim makes the power of TOUGH2 accessible to modelers through an interactive 3D environment that includes mesh generation, parameter definition, and display of results. PetraSim significantly lowers the barriers to TOUGH2 use by freeing the analyst to focus on the model, while automatically handling the complex details of TOUGH2 input and output files. PetraSim includes TOUGH2, T2VOC, TMVOC, and TOUGHREACT executables.

Models Supported by PetraSim 

TOUGH2 is a general-purpose numerical simulation program for multi-phase fluid and heat flow in porous and fractured media. It belongs to the MULKOM family of codes, developed in the Earth Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for applications in geothermal reservoir engineering, nuclear waste disposal, and unsaturated zone hydrology.

TOUGH2-MP is a massively parallel (MP) version of the TOUGH2 code, designed for computationally efficient parallel simulation of isothermal and nonisothermal flows of multicomponent, multiphase fluids in one, two, and three-dimensional porous and fractured media. In recent years, computational requirements have become increasingly intensive in large or highly nonlinear problems for applications in areas such as radioactive waste disposal, CO2 geological sequestration, environmental assessment and
remediation, reservoir engineering, and groundwater hydrology. The primary objective of developing the parallel-simulationcapability is to significantly improve the computational performance of the TOUGH2 family of codes. The particular goal for the parallel simulator is to achieve orders-of-magnitude improvement in computational time for models with ever-increasing complexity.


EWASG (included in the TOUGH2/T2VOC module) has been developed within the frame of a collaboration among Aquater SpA, an engineering services company of the Eni Group (now incorporated into Saipem SpA), the International Institute for Geothermal Research (IIRG) (now incorporated into the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources (IGG) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR)) and the Earth Sciences Division (ESD) of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Geothermal fluids usually consist of complex mixtures of water, salts and gases. As the thermodynamic and transport properties of such mixtures affect reservoir conditions and performance, the EWASG (Equation-of-state for WAter, Salt and Gas) module has been developed for the TOUGH2 multipurpose numerical reservoir simulator to handle three-component fluid mixtures of water, sodium chloride and a slightly soluble non-condensible gas (NCG).

T2VOC is a TOUGH2 module for 3-phase flow of water, air, and a volatile organic compound (VOC). T2VOC was designed to simulate processes such as the migration of hazardous non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in variably saturated media, forced vacuum extraction of organic chemical vapors from the unsaturated zone (soil vapor extraction), evaporation and diffusion of chemical vapors in the unsaturated zone, air injection into the saturated zone for removal of volatile organics (air sparging), direct pumping of contaminated water and free product, and steam injection for the removal of NAPLs from contaminated soils and aquifers.

TMVOC is a numerical simulator for three-phase non-isothermal flow of water, soil gas, and a multicomponent mixture of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in multidimensional heterogeneous porous media. It is an extension of the TOUGH2 general-purpose simulation program developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. TMVOC is designed for applications to contamination problems that involve hydrocarbon fuel or organic solvent spills in saturated and unsaturated zones. It can model contaminant behavior under "natural" environmental conditions, as well as for engineered systems, such as soil vapor extraction, groundwater pumping, or steam-assisted source remediation.

TOUGHREACT is a new extension of TOUGH2 that couples chemical reactions to fluid flow. Coupled modeling of subsurface multiphase fluid and heat flow, solute transport, and chemical reactions can be used for assessment of waste disposal sites, acid mine drainage remediation, contaminant transport, groundwater quality, CO2 sequestration, and mineral alteration in geothermal systems. TOUGHREACT can be applied to porous and fractured media with physical and chemical heterogeneity. The model can accommodate any number of chemical species present in liquid, gas, and solid phases. A variety of equilibrium chemical reactions are considered, such as aqueous complexation, gas dissolution/exsolution, and cation exchnage. Mineral dissolution/precipitation can proceed either, subject to local equilibrium or kinetic conditions. Changes in porosity and permeability due to mineral dissolution and precipitation can be considered.

TOUGH-Fx/HYDRATE v1.0 is a new code, developed by LBNL, that simulates the behavior of hydrate-bearing geologic systems. By solving coupled equations of mass and heat balance, TOUGH-Fx/HYDRATE can model the non-isothermal gas release, phase behavior and flow of fluids and heat under conditions typical of common, natural CH4-hydrate bearing deposits (i.e., in the permafrost and in the deep ocean sediments) in complex formations.
