ForestScan project: Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle LiDAR Scanning (UAV-LS) data of FBRMS-02: Station d’Etudes des Gorilles et Chimpanzés, Lopé National Park, Gabon, June 2022, Version 2.0
This dataset contains point cloud data (a set of data points in a 3D coordinate system) which were collected using a RIEGL miniVUX1-DL LiDAR scanner mounted on a DELAIR DT26X Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The data was collected in June 2022 as part of the ForestScan project. The person responsible for the data collection was Dr. Iain McNicol from the University of Edinburgh, who collected and processed the data.

- Statement
- Data were produced by the project team and supplied for archiving at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA). Revised metadata was also provided by the project team. This dataset was reprocessed by Iain McNichol from an older version in order to correct the UTM metadata information in all files and to replace a corrupted file.
