Vibrations of trees under pull-and-release tests or typhoons

These data are adopted to reproduce the results in Chau et al. (2022, accepted), entitled "Understanding the dynamic properties of trees using the motions constructed from multi-beam flash light detection and ranging measurements". These data include: The point-cloud data scanned by a multi-beam flash LiDAR sensor that records the vibration of trees under pull-and-release tests and typhoon conditions. The meteorological data recorded by the local meteorological stations at the HKUST campus, <em>i.e.</em>, the <em>Supersite</em> and <em>SEPO</em> stations. The vibration of tree recorded by a tree motion sensor. The vibration of tree recorded by a laser-based LVDT. The data for analyzing the accuracy and resolution of the LiDAR sensor. The movie clips, which illustrate the vibration of tree in the form of point-cloud frames. For details, please refer to "Readme" file or contact the corresponding author.
