  • The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired between 6 and 7 April 2009, covers the experimental station Paracou in French Guiyana. More precisely, the dataset covers 9 plots totally (Paracou 4, Paracou 5, Paracou 7, Paracou 8, Paracou 9 - Paracou 12, and Paracou 14) and 4 plots partly (Paracou 3, Paracou 6, Paracou 13, and Paracou 15). The area includes exploited and non-exploited forest and Pinot palm. Ground control points are available. The Lidar data was acquired as part of the Guyafor project. It was previoulsy made available to the ESA Tropisar project. The Biomass project at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) used this dataset for the evaluation of forest structure estimation from radar data.

  • The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired on 7 April 2009, covers two seperate areas along the track leading to St Elie in French Guiana. The northern plot has an area of 4.5 sq.km. This area covers the 100 hectares IRD-biodiversity plot. The southern area (1.4 sq.km) covers a grove of Spirotropis longifolia. The Lidar data was acquired as part of the Guyafor project. It was shared with the ESA Tropisar project and the Biomass project at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
