Statement: 1. All data was acquired by Altoa flying a plane about 550m above ground level. Laser system was LMS Q-560 operating at 200 kHz (laser pulse rate) in the infrared wavelength region (1.56 mm). The average laser pulse density was ca. 10 imp/m² and the system had multiple returns registering capacity leading to a density of point of ca. 20/m². The prescribed scanning angle was +/- 20 deg. 2. Delivery of the data in LAS 1.2 format (tiled) 3. The data are stored in \\forestview01\BDLidar\Données Lidar\Nouragues\2012. 4. Various further processing steps were carried out.
