Litchfield Savanna Terrestrial LiDAR, 2021
This terrestrial LiDAR dataset captures detailed vegetation structural information at the Litchfield Savanna SuperSite in NT, Australia. The purpose of this data is to enhance understanding of vegetation dynamics and ecosystem function in the region. The dataset is part of a broader collection of Terrestrial LiDAR data acquired from all TERN SuperSites, aimed at achieving a standardized and highly detailed capture of 3D vegetation structure across Australia.

- Statement
- The 1-hectare plot located in Litchfield underwent sampling utilizing a 20-meter grid configuration employing a Riegl VZ-2000i Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) operating at 600 kHz. This dataset comprises 36 scans captured within the 1-hectare grid, along with an additional 28 external scans.<br> Raw processing of the TLS data and co-registration of scans was conducted in Riegl’s RiSCAN PRO software suite. The internal inclination and orientation sensors of the Riegl VZ-2000i enabled scans to be placed in geographic coordinates with rough alignment. Riegl’s Multi-Station Adjustment tool (MSA) was used to refine the alignment until an overall RMSE of 0.02 m was attained.<br> The dataset is available as a compressed RiSCAN PRO project and single scans as LAZ 1.4. Single scans are given in the scanner coordinate system. Transformations matrices for each position are made available for both global (WGS 84 / UTM zone 52S) and local coordinate systems.
