Among them, the progressive triangulated irregular network (TIN) densification filtering (PTDF) algorithm is widely employed due to its robustness and effectiveness. However, the performance of this algorithm usually depends on the detailed initial terrain and the cautious tuning of parameters to cope with various terrains. Consequently, many approaches have been proposed to provide as much detailed initial terrain as possible. However, most of them require many user-defined parameters. Moreover, these parameters are difficult to determine for users. Recently, the cloth simulation filtering (CSF) algorithm has gradually drawn attention because its parameters are few and easy-to-set. CSF can obtain a fine initial terrain, which simultaneously provides a good foundation for parameter threshold estimation of progressive TIN densification (PTD). However, it easily causes misclassification when further refining the initial terrain. To achieve the complementary advantages of CSF and PTDF, a novel filtering algorithm that combines cloth simulation (CS) and PTD is proposed in this study. In the proposed algorithm, a high-quality initial provisional digital terrain model (DTM) is obtained by CS, and the parameter thresholds of PTD are estimated from the initial provisional DTM based on statistical analysis theory. Finally, PTD with adaptive parameter thresholds is used to refine the initial provisional DTM. These contributions of the implementation details achieve accuracy enhancement and resilience to parameter tuning. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm improves performance over their direct predecessors. Furthermore, compared with the publicized improved PTDF algorithms, our algorithm is not only superior in accuracy but also practicality. The fact that the proposed algorithm is of high accuracy and easy-to-use is desirable for users.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11091037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,2]],"date-time":"2019-05-02T03:15:22Z","timestamp":1556766922000},"page":"1037","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Filtering Airborne LiDAR Data Through Complementary Cloth Simulation and Progressive TIN Densification Filters"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Shangshu","family":"Cai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"},{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, 02431 Masala, Finland"}]},{"given":"Wuming","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Xinlian","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry, Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, 02431 Masala, Finland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5366-835X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6601-7882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianbo","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Sisi","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5030-748X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangjian","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"833","DOI":"10.3390\/rs2030833","article-title":"Ground filtering algorithms for airborne LiDAR data: A review of critical issues","volume":"2","author":"Meng","year":"2010","journal-title":"Remote Sens."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1016\/j.isprsjprs.2004.05.004","article-title":"Experimental comparison of filter algorithms for bare-Earth extraction from airborne laser scanning point clouds","volume":"59","author":"Sithole","year":"2004","journal-title":"ISPRS J.
