Terrestrial laser scanning was conducted from June to July 2022 by Cecilia Chavana-Bryant & Phil Wilkes using a Reigl VZ-400i for the ForestScan project. Scans were acquired using chain sampling at 121 locations along a 10m Cartesian grid to ensure sufficient data overlap to produce a high-quality point cloud of this 1ha (100 x 100m) forest plot in Gabon. Capturing a complete sample of the scene at each location requires two scans (an upright & a 90° tilt scan), owing to a 100° field of view. Upright scans will be odd numbered while tilt scans will be even numbered. The first scan on a plot is collected on its SW corner (unless something impedes it, e.g. stream, large tree fall, etc. or if the plot is oriented differently) with the tilt scan oriented towards the next sampling position & tilt scans along the edges of plots oriented towards the inside of the plot while all other tilt scans are oriented towards the previously scanned line. A total of 242 scans were collected per 1ha plot.
