Terrestrial Laser Scans - Riegl VZ400, raw instrument files and ancillary data, Australian field sites

Ground lidar, also known as Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), is a ranging instrument that provides detailed 3D measurements directly related to the quantity and distribution of plant materials in the canopy. This dataset contains raw instrument data and ancillary data for numerous sites across northern and eastern Australia from 2012 onwards. Scans have been collected using two Riegl VZ400 waveform recording TLS instruments. One is co-owned and operated by the Remote Sensing Centre, Queensland Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) and the TERN Brisbane Node, University of Queensland. The second is owned and operated by Wageningen University, Netherlands.
