TLS-ARCH terrestrial laser scanner data; Downfall Creek (AEP-02), North Queensland, Australia, July 2018
This dataset is comprised of raw data from the NERC-funded, full-waveform terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) deployed at sites on three continents, multiple countries and plot locations. Plot (A)EP-02 (Downfall Creek) is part of the CSIRO Rainforest Permanent Plots of North Queensland (Graham et al. 2006)
The TLS data were collected on a 10 m x 10 m grid where at each position the scanner captured data in an upright and tilted position. The scanner was set to an angular step of 0.04 degrees for all scans. In between each scan position, a set of retro-reflective targets were positioned to be used as tie-points between scans. For more information on TLS acquisition refer to Wilkes et al. (2017). Scan data were coregistered using RiSCAN Pro, the 4x4 rotation transformation matrices to transform the point cloud data into a common reference coordinate system can be found in the "matrix" directory.
