LIDAR 2004 survey of the coast and the Savio River

The Lidar survey of the coast was carried out from Goro to Rimini, covering a corridor about 800 m wide (sometimes more extensive) for a total of 9524 hectares; towards the sea, the limit has been set so as to include all the defense structures at sea, considered an integral part of the coastal system. Along the Savio River, a band of variable width from the mouth to Cesena was surveyed, for a total extension of 7666 hectares. Through this survey we obtained: the digital surface model (DSM, Digital Surface Model) and the digital terrain model (DTM, Digital Elevation Model). LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), which is an active remote sensing technique for performing high resolution topographic surveys. The LIDAR system consists of a laser scanner made up of a transmitter, receiver and data acquisition system, installed on an aircraft. What is obtained is a distribution of points to which the coordinates and are associated
