The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset was acquired on 7 and 8 August 2014 in the framework of DynForDiv project. It covers mount Itoupé (altitude 830m above sea level) in French Guiana (total covered area = 72 km²). Based on sample tiles (45, 70,192, 201, 256), the mean emitted pulse density is ~12/m², and the mean echo density ~ 19/m². Lidar Riegl LMS Q560 aboard a plane operated by Altoa
