- Description
Ministry for the Environment, Land Use Carbon Analysis System collection of swaths of LiDAR over planted forests of interest (raw and classified returns) from 2006 to 2015.
- Source
LiDAR swaths were captured with Optech sensors as part of a plot-based forest inventory system developed for pre-1990 planted forests. Plot sites cover a circular area with a radius of 85m (0.06 ha). LiDAR data and aerial photography typically was collected between plots where the inter-site area was also planted forest.
Typically Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithms were used to improve the POS GPS/IMU locating data.
DTM point cloud classification was undertaken using editing software such as TerraSolid TerraScan.
