Modeling and Correction of Underwater Photon-Counting LiDAR Returns Based on a Modified Biexponential Distribution
Published on 2026-02-03 by Jie Wang, Wei Hao, Songmao Chen, Meilin Xie, Heng Shi, Xiangyu Li, Xuezheng Lian, Xiuqin Su, Runqiang Xing, Lu Ding @MDPI
Abstract: Laser pulses experience significant temporal broadening in underwater environments due to strong turbulence and scattering effects. As water turbidity increases, the likelihood of multiple scattering events rises, further intensifying pulse broadening and thereby degrading the ranging accuracy of underwater single-photon LiDAR systems. Accurate characterization of the return pulse shape is crucial for precise distance extraction, typically achieved via cross-correlation with the system&r[...]
Our summary: This study introduces a Modified Biexponential Distribution model to accurately characterize the return pulse shape of underwater LiDAR systems. The model addresses the issues of pulse broadening caused by water turbidity and scattering, improving ranging accuracy.

Abstract: Semi-supervised joint classification of Hyperspectral Images (HSIs) and LiDAR-derived Digital Surface Models (DSMs) remains challenging due to scarcity of labeled pixels, strong intra-class variability, and the heterogeneous nature of spectral and elevation features. In this work, we propose a Hybrid Mamba–Graph Fusion Network (HMGF-Net) with Multi-Stage Pseudo-Label Refinement (MS-PLR) for semi-supervised hyperspectral–LiDAR classification. The framework employs a sp[...]
Our summary: This work presents a Hybrid Mamba-Graph Fusion Network (HMGF-Net) for semi-supervised hyperspectral-LiDAR classification.
