ForestScan: Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) of FBRMS-01: Paracou, French Guiana, November 2022
Abstract
This Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) campaign was conducted in November 2022. The ALS data corresponding to plots FG5c1, FG6c2, FG8c4 and IRD-CNES also scanned by Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning (TLS) in October or November 2022 as part of the ForestScan Project are provided in four separate laz files.
The covered area: 3*2.16 ha + 1*1.44 ha; Pulse density: ~200 m2; Scanner type: VQ 780II RIEGL; Scanner wavelength: 1064 nm; Beam divergence: <=0.25 mrad (1/e2); Vehicle: Airplane BN2; Operator: Altoa. Acquisition parameters: swath angle: +/-20 degrees; PRR (channel type): ~ 1000 kHz; Ground footprint size of pulse: ~0.16 m; Flight height: 650m terrain follow mode (AGL); Acquisition mode: Full waveform, RGB camera on board but no orthomosaïc made.
