Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has become one of the major remote sensing methods in the last few years. There are several areas, where the scanned 3D point-clouds can be used very efficiently. In our study we review the potential applications of LiDAR data in military historical reconstruction. Previously we defined the major steps of the entire reconstruction process and the – mostly archive – useful data sources. Obviously the base of this kind of investigations must be archive data, but it is an interesting challenge to integrate a cutting edge method into such tasks. LiDAR technology can be very useful, especially in vegetation covered areas, where the conventional remote sensing technologies are mostly inefficient. We shall summarize how laser scanned data can support the different parts of reconstruction work and define the technological steps of LiDAR data processing.
