This kind of device relies on a digital camera for acquiring the color information, however, which is inevitably limited by the lighting conditions and geometric registration errors. With the development of multispectral light detection and ranging (LiDAR) or even hyperspectral LiDAR that often utilize a supercontinuum laser source covering the whole visible light band, including red, green and blue bands, the simultaneous acquisition of color and spatial information becomes possible and makes passive imaging data no longer necessary. In this study, we propose a color restoration method for a full-waveform multispectral LiDAR (FWMSL) system. Additionally, we develop a multispectral lognormal function to fit the tailing echoes measured by FWMSL further accurately. Experimental data from our FWMSL system are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The relative standard deviation, correlation coefficient (R2) and color difference (    \u0394 E    ) metrics suggest that the color restoration for the full-waveform multispectral data is feasible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12040593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,11]],"date-time":"2020-02-11T09:25:21Z","timestamp":1581413121000},"page":"593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Color Restoration for Full-Waveform Multispectral LiDAR Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Binhui","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shalei","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 30 Xiao Hongshan Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiong","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 30 Xiao Hongshan Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 30 Xiao Hongshan Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenwei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 30 Xiao Hongshan Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 30 Xiao Hongshan Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faquan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 30 Xiao Hongshan Road, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3438-364X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2015.04.013","article-title":"Waveform lidar over vegetation: An evaluation of inversion methods for estimating return energy","volume":"164","author":"Hancock","year":"2015","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
