Low temperatures cause malfunctioning of the LIDAR system, and unpredictable strong winds can deteriorate data quality by irregularly shaking co-registration targets. For stable and efficient LIDAR operation in Antarctica, this study proposes and demonstrates the following practical solutions: (1) a lagging cover with a heating pack to maintain the temperature of the terrestrial LIDAR system; (2) co-registration using square planar targets and two-step point-merging methods based on extracted feature points and the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm; and (3) a georeferencing module consisting of an artificial target and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The solutions were used to produce a topographic map for construction of the Jang Bogo Research Station in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. Co-registration and georeferencing precision reached 5 and 45 mm, respectively, and the accuracy of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generated from the LIDAR scanning data was \u00b127.7 cm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150923514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,16]],"date-time":"2015-09-16T10:33:36Z","timestamp":1442399616000},"page":"23514-23535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Application of a Terrestrial LIDAR System for Elevation Mapping in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hyoungsig","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1891-8464","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seunghwan","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}]},{"given":"Sangmin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}]},{"given":"Hyokeun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}]},{"given":"Ilsuk","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}]},{"given":"Hong-Gyoo","family":"Sohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1867","DOI":"10.1098\/rsta.2006.1802","article-title":"Evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet: New understanding and challenges","volume":"364","author":"Payne","year":"2006","journal-title":"Philos.
