<abstract>
<p>Improving sensor performance, combined with better affordability, provides better object space observability, resulting in new
applications. Remote sensing systems are primarily concerned with acquiring data of the static components of our environment, such
as the topographic surface of the earth, transportation infrastructure, city models, etc. Observing the dynamic component of the object
space is still rather rare in the geospatial application field; vehicle extraction and traffic flow monitoring are a few examples of using
remote sensing to detect and model moving objects. Deploying a network of inexpensive LiDAR sensors along taxiways and runways
can provide both geometrically and temporally rich geospatial data that aircraft body can be extracted from the point cloud, and then,
based on consecutive point clouds motion parameters can be estimated. Acquiring accurate aircraft trajectory data is essential to
improve aviation safety at airports. This paper reports about the initial experiences obtained by using a network of four Velodyne VLP-
16 sensors to acquire data along a runway segment.</p>
