In order to minimize discrepancies within the overlap area of airborne laser scanning (ALS) strips, strip adjustment can be performed. Apart from the transformation model, the quality of strip adjustment is strongly affected by the observations used in this process. In order to exploit the full resolution of the data, correspondences should be established on the basis of the original point cloud instead of interpolated surfaces or rasters, so that a loss in accuracy and systematic interpolation effects can be avoided. A surface matching method in which correspondences are based on the original point cloud is the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. In this study several ICP variants suitable for large amounts of data are investigated. We introduce a new method for the selection of correspondences which is based on the influence of a point on the adjustment calculations. As a result of this study, a combination of variants, forming a baseline optimized for most ALS data, is presented. The investigated variants provide a correspondence framework for ALS strip adjustment. The benefit of specific variants is demonstrated on the basis of a challenging ALS scene.
