3D point clouds from terrestrial and unteamed aerial vehicle laser scanning of the Forest-Atmosphere-Interaction-Research (FAIR) site

Description

The data set is a collection of a high resolution 3D point cloud time series surveyed by terrestrial and uncrewed aerial vehicle laser scanning between 2021 and 2025. The datasets have been acquired during the student course close-range sensing in the MSc Geography studies.

The area surveyed ist the Forest-Atmosphere-Interaction-Research (FAIR) site in Mieming (Tyrol, Austria) comprising a Pinus sylvestris forest stand accompanied by Juniperus and Erica carnea.

Terrestrial laser scanning data was collected using RIEGL VZ-2000i, mobile portable laser scanning by Geoslam ZEB Horizon, and Uncrewed aerial vehicle laser scanning by RIEGL VUX-1LR mounted on a RIEGL Ricopter platform.

The data sets are georeferenced and projected in UTM32N (EPSG 32632) and are organized in scan positions and flight strips respectively. For the Geoslam ZEB Horizon data a transformation matrix is provided. All data is provided in comnpressed LAZ-format.

In the Reference folder, polygons of the areas of interest, reference measurements,  buildings and constructions are provided.
