A six month high resolution 4D geospatial stationiary laser scan dataset of the Kijkduin beach dune system, The Netherlands

In Kijkduin (The Netherlands) a Riegl terrestial laserscanner on top of a building has surveyed a kilometer of beach and dune from November 2016 to May 2017. More than 4000 hourly and daily scans were obtained during this period containing between 1 and 10 million points per epoch with a decimeter order point spacing and centimeter order vertical accuracy. The dataset was collected within the CoastScan project [Vos, S., Lindenbergh, R. & Vries, S. de. (2017) 'Coastscan :Continuous monitoring of coastal change using terrestrial laser scanning'. Coastal Dynamics, Denmark, 12–16 June 2017 ] which aims to study the natural variability and resilience of the coast and the use of near-continuous laserscanning to study various spatiotemporal processes simultaneously. The dataset contains 4082 individual scans with supporting files to obtain georeferenced and time corrected point clouds in the Dutch national coordinate system.
