Abstract :
This paper outlines the use of a high-resolution laser range scanner to detect terrain features and obstacles and the development of a test bed for the obstacle and terrain feature detection system. Results from tests conducted at Ohio University and simulations from data collected during flight tests in the vicinity of Braxton County Airport (K481), WV are presented.
