Statement: 1. All data was acquired by Altoa flying a helicopter at the altitude of around 150 meters above ground level. The embarked system was composed of a scanning laser altimeter with a rotating mirror mechanism (RIEGL LMS-Q 140i-60), a GPS receiver coupled to a second GPS receiver on the ground and an inertial measurement unit to record pitch. roll and heading of aircraft. The wave length used was 905 nm (NIR). The scanning angle was +/- 30°. The laser recorded last reflected pulse. The density of points is 7 points/m² . 2. Delivrance of the data in time, x, y, z, intensity, flight line (Macouria.txyzili). Ground points are delivered in the same acquisition file. 3. The data are stored in \\forestview01\BDLidar\Données Lidar\Macouria\Données brutes. 4. Various further processing steps were carried out. Please get in touch with a point of contact
