In this paper, we introduce a model ensembling framework for segmenting a 3D photogrammetry point cloud into top-level terrain elements (i. e., ground, human-made objects, and vegetation).

A goal of this research is to allow automated monitoring for largescale infrastructure projects, such as railways, to determine reliable metrics that define and predict the direction construction initiatives could take, allowing for a directed monitoring via narrowed and targeted satellite imagery requests.

At I/ITSEC 2019, the authors presented a fully-automated workflow to segment 3D photogrammetric point-clouds/meshes and extract object information, including individual tree locations and ground materials (Chen et al., 2019).

The results showed that 3D mesh trees could be replaced with geo-typical 3D tree models using the extracted individual tree locations.

Thus, segmenting generated point clouds and meshes and extracting the associated object information is a necessary step.

Following an initiative formalized in April 2016 formally known as ARL West between the U. S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies (USC ICT), a field experiment was coordinated and executed in the summer of 2016 by ARL, USC ICT, and Headwall Photonics.
