Terrestrial laser scanning point clouds from Evo test site, 37 sample plots, autumn 2019
Description
Terrestrial laser scanning point clouds acquired in the autumn of 2019 from 37 sample plots located in Evo, Finland. A Leica RTC 360 A 3D (Leica Geosystems, St. Gallen, Switzerland) time-of-flight laser scanner was used in the data acquisition. A multi-scan approach has been applied in the data acquisition, that is, each sample plot has been scanned from five separate scanning locations: one scan from the plot centre and four scans from quadrant directions (i.e. north-east, south-east, south-west, and north-west of the plot centre). Individual scans have been co-registered using artificial reference targets whose exact locations have been measured using real-time kinematic GNSS. Topography has been removed from the point clouds by normalizing the Z-coordinates to heights above the ground using LAStools-software (http://rapidlasso.com). For a more detailed description of the data acquisition campaign, please see Yrttimaa et al. 2020 (https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12172672).
