With the increasing availability of a diverse range of datasets from sources such as airborne and terrestrial laser scanning, InSAR, and high resolution satellite remote sensing, there are improved opportunities for dataset integration and the synergistic benefits which this can offer. However, accurate registration is a fundamental pre-requisite for data fusion, and an issue which is often overlooked. This paper presents a strategy for improving the effectiveness of coastal geohazard monitoring through the integration of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning datasets. This approach is based upon a robust least squares surface matching technique, which enables the reliable reconciliation of disparate datasets, overcoming disparities between the input surfaces. The development of the matching algorithm, which incorporates a robust M-estimator function, is detailed. Application of this approach to a test site located on the east coast of England highlights the effectiveness of the robust matching algorithm for data integration, improving the quality of the resultant surface models, and facilitating subsequent analysis of change over a four month period. Robust surface matching is a flexible technique, which shows significant potential for a range of data fusion tasks, particularly where there is also a requirement for reliable change detection.
