3D LULC classification using multispectral LiDAR and deep learning: current and prospective schemes
Land Use Land Cover (LULC) classification is essential for national 3D mapping, geospatial analysis, and sustainable planning. Multispectral (MS) LiDAR provides synchronized spatial-spectral information, and deep learning (DL) enables 3D point cloud semantic segmentation; however, adoption is limited by the lack of publicly available urban and suburban MS LiDAR datasets aligned with National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs) classification schemes. This study addresses these gaps by introducing L1 and L2 NMCA-aligned LULC classification schemes and a new benchmark MS LiDAR dataset. We evaluate seven state-of-the-art DL models and perform spectral ablation studies at both levels of detail. Results show that Point Transformer V3 achieves the best performance, with mIoU of 79.4% (L1, 8 classes) and 58.9% (L2, 20 classes) using a dual-wavelength LiDAR system (532 nm and 1064 nm). Ablation results show that multispectral information improves performance over geometry-only inputs, with gains of 1.1 percentage points at L1 and 7.8 points at L2. These results highlight the value of LiDAR reflectance for fine-grained material discrimination and support the evolution of NMCA LULC schemes toward higher semantic detail. The Loosdorf-MSL dataset contributes a new benchmark for consistent national and international LULC mapping.

Bidirectional recurrent imputation and abundance estimation of LULC classes with MODIS multispectral time series and geo-topographic and climatic data
Remotely sensed data are dominated by mixed Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) types. Spectral unmixing (SU) is a key technique that disentangles mixed pixels into constituent LULC types and their abundance fractions. While …
