Abstract

This dataset contains laser scanning derived products (raw scanner data, geo-located point clouds, individual 3D tree models) collected over the north-eastern part (200 m x 200 m) of Paracou research station plot 6 (see documentation for further details). The campaign took place from 2019-10-10 to 2019-11-15. Terrestrial Laser Scans (TLS) were conducted on a regular grid with spacing of 10 m with a RIEGL VZ-400 scanner and retro-reflective targets for scan registr ation. Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Laser Scanning (UAV-LS) was conducted with a RIEGL Ricopter with VUX-SYS VUX-1UAV system with varying flight heights and flight directions. The TLS point clouds were collected to produce explicit 3D models of individual trees and subsequently estimate their above-ground biomass (AGB). The UAV-LS point clouds were collected to test scanner settings and inspect point clouds properties, in particular with regard to their suitability to model \
individual trees and their AGB. The campaign was conducted by researchers Benjamin Brede, Harm Bartholomeus and Alvaro Lau of the Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing of Wageningen University & Research (The Netherlands) with support of Nicolas Barbier of AMAP Lab (botAny and Modeling of Plant Architecture and vegetation)
